    • Computation has become an essential tool in life science research. This is exemplified in genomics, where first microarrays and now massively parallel DNA sequencing have enabled a variety of genome-wide functional assays that require increasingly complex analysis tools. The problem of accessibility of computational tools has long been recognized. Without programming or informatics expertise, scientists needing to use computational approaches are impeded by problems ranging from tool installation; to determining which parameter values to use; to efficiently combining multiple tools together in an analysis chain. The severity of these problems is evidenced by the numerous solutions to address them. Knowledge on software and web-based interfaces for tools all improve the accessibility of computation. These approaches each have advantages, but do not offer a general solution that enables a computational tool to be easily included in an analysis chain and run by scientists without programming experience. However, making tools accessible does not necessarily address the crucial problem of reproducibility. For computational experiments, researchers have argued that computational results, such as analyses and methods, are of equal or even greater importance than text and figures as experimental outputs. In this chapter, it is attempted to highlight basic concept of new biology, tools, techniques of computational biology and computational statistics applied in biotechnology and bioinformatics. Further some of the common useful statistical aspects of microarray data analysis, including detection of differential expression methods are highlighted.

Evaluation of Performance of Primary Fisheries Cooperative Societies (MSS) of Tripura

Evaluation of Performance of Primary Fisheries Cooperative Societies (MSS) of Tripura A.D. Upadhyay, M. Sinha, 1 , A.K. Roy, J.R. Dhanze and D.K. Pandey College of Fisheries, Central Agricultural University, Lembucherra Tripura – 799 210, India 1 Directorate of Fisheries, Govt. of Tripura, Agartala, India Email:ad_up@rediffma Abstract Fishermen cooperatives are recognized as means of socio-economic development of fishers/fish  farming community, which generally belong to weaker section of the society. The state of Tripura  has made significant progress in fish production by 197 per cent from 2004-05 to 2011-12. An  attempt has been made in this paper to analyse the status of Fishermen Cooperatives in Tripura with  respect to water holdings and fish and fish seed production. It has been found that the fishermen  cooperative in Tripura like other states of the country is not encouraging because majority of them...

Surprising Mind Blowing Facts and Figures of Big Data (Revised): Big data Statistics (Big data-Series-2 Book 1) Kindle Edition

Surprising Mind Blowing Facts and Figures of Big Data (Revised): Big data Statistics (Big data-Series-2 Book 1)   Kindle Edition by  Ajit Roy   (Author) Big Data” is a hot topic and getting a lot of media and business attention. Everyone is talking about big data, from the challenges to yearly spending, job creation and even the tools required for big data projects. Many believe big data will help businesses make better decisions. Big Data is the expression of this gigantic mass of information that we are constantly generating at the global level due to the tremendous amount of data generated daily from fields such as business, research, and sciences. Big Data is everywhere and represents huge opportunities to those who can use it effectively. Big Data is the result of practically everything in the world being monitored and measured; creating data faster than the available technologies can store, process or manage it. Big data is a buzzword that is ambiguous and of...
