Projects:

. Web interfaces for Bioinformatics Applications:

> Comparing Two MSA Algorithms:

A web interface is developed where two Multiple Sequence Alignment

Algorithms are implemented and compared using PERL and PYTHON. The Greedy

and Non-Greedy Algorithms for Multiple Sequence Alignment are compared.

GeneDB: A HUMAN GENE DATABASE:

A web interface for a Human Gene Database is developed using SQL and

PERL. Any human gene can be retrieved by giving a keyword or and part of

the gene accession number or gene name. The results are links directing

to the Genbank database.

> Protein Structure Analysis Tool:

An interactive web based Protein Structure Analysis tool was developed.

Here the protein structure is predicted using two different algorithms

from the primary sequence of the protein. Various databases like

UNIPROTKB, PDB and bioinformatics tools like PAR 3D, "Conserved domains"

in NCBI, verify 3D, PHYRE, Anolea and Gromos are used for this project.

> Finding ORF regions in Genomes:

A Web interface for identifying potential coding region in a Genome is

developed. The program works for the circular genomes as well. The code

is implemented in PERL.

. Data Mining Projects:

> Classification of Proteins into Solenoids and Non-Solenoids:

Secondary structure of new protein sequences is predicted for sequence

analysis using Hidden Markov model approach. Using this information,

proteins are classified to Solenoids and Non-Solenoids using the data

mining tool WEKA. The codes required are implemented in the scripting

language PERL.

> Functional classification of Proteins using LDA:

The Enzyme Classification of the proteins is done using the features

obtained from the generative LDA method. These are used in a

discriminative framework for protein functional classification. The codes

are in C, C++ and PERL.

> Prediction of Secondary Structure:

The Secondary structures of a set of protein sequences are predicted

using Markov Chains approach. A separate set of proteins with known

secondary structures is used as the training data to train the model.

. Microarray Data Analysis using Python:

The Microarray data of six samples is studied and the outliers are

identified. For this the data is first plotted in M vs. A graph. Then the

multi-file normalization was performed to remove the bias. Finally the

outliers are found. This project is implemented in Python.

. C#.NET and ASP.NET projects:

> Developed a web page for Shipment schedule:

C# ASP.NET Web program is developed to display shipping times for a

selected customer, employee, and shipping company from a preexisting

database.

> Developed a Windows program for time sheets of employees:

A C# Windows program to display time card data for a selected employee

from a list of employees is developed.

> Implemented the working of an elevator:

A C# console application is developed to implement the working of an

elevator when the highest and least floors and maximum capacity of the

lift are given.

Strengths:

. Ability to follow detailed operating procedures and protocols with

minimal supervision, work in diverse ethnic groups and adjust in a

team.

. Experience with lab instrument and equipment maintenance

. Excellent oral and written communication skills

. Dedicated, Determined and Duty minded in pursue of goals and

objectives.
