Computational Approaches to Design Vaccines Faster

Systematic vaccine design offers hope of vaccines to prevent HIV or treat cancer

Like a “Wanted” poster distributed to a posse, peptide vaccines show the immune system a small sample (about eight amino acids) of a pathogen, training the body to seek and destroy...

Single-Cell Genomics: Can Bioinformatics Unlock its Potential?

The tools to sequence the genomes of individual cells yield data that’s noisy and somewhat unreliable. What bag of tricks can bioinformaticians use to address these challenges?

To study genomes, researchers have typically pooled the genetic material from thousands of cells together. But this approach can only get at “average genomes” or “average...
