Currently I am learning Java, XML, JXTA and socket programming. Operating systems used: Apple (Apple II through to OS X) DOS Linux Unix (various systems) VMS Computer systems used: Tandy TRS-80 Apple II+ IBM XT NEC PC VAX/VMS Alliant Silicon Graphics Cray YMP Sun (Sun OS & Solaris) IBM RS6000 Various PCs running Linux Apple Macintosh: 68000 (LCIII, LC475), PowerPC (7200, 7600, iMac, G4) Examples of software written (Current projects are confidential and are not included in this list.) Various (Pre 1986) My first programs were written in BASIC on TRS-80 computers at high school (1981), then in UCSD Pascal on an Apple II+ I purchased as an undergraduate student. CROWDY (1986) Modelling density effects on plant growth for ecological studies being done at the University of Canterbury. Unnamed (1987) A simple operating system for a 4-processor overlapping-RAM computer developed at Computing Technology Limited (Christchurch, NZ). Programming in C on a PC, cross-compiled to 6805 code, burned into an EPROM, installed into the multi-processor hardware and debugged using an oscilloscope. NWAlign (1990) Needleman-Wunsch alignments of sequences. DOTTY (1990) Dot plots for sequence comparisons. DAWG, DAWGAlign and others (1990-) Suffix tree methods for high-speed sequence searching and locating conserved motifs in unaligned sequences. MotifAnal (1991-) An interactive database-style system for analysing large multiple alignments of protein sequences. This program (>20,000 lines of source code) was written in Pascal on Vax computers over several years. It has many features, some of which are: Construction of databases, including annotation options; Use of arbitrary motif weight, amino acid property and amino acid similarity tables; Conversion of amino acids property tables to amino acid similarity tables and standard operations on tables such as scaling, normalisation, symmetrising and so on; User-specified position referencing schemes. Allow users to refer to positions in an alignment in a manner independent of the actual alignment position, providing a referencing scheme that withstands revision of alignments such as later discovery of longer loop sequences. Related positions which are not sequentially adjacent in the alignment (eg. active site residues) can be referred to in convenient sequential manner; Calculation and plots of the conservation of each position in an alignment, output in plain text or Postscript. Conservation tables can be compared to determine co-conservation and the like; Complex comparisons can be generated using a range of user-specified options, filtering masks and commands. Subsets of the alignment (certain sequences, certain positions within those sequences) can be passed to each of the analysis options, based on criteria such as named sequences and positions, the amino acids present at named positions, the score of the selected positions against a mask sequence, optional use of position weight tables and so on; Statistics of properties can be output; Correlations between alignment positions can be calculated and output; The number of amino acids between positions can be used as a property; Duplicate entries can be removed if desired; Phylogenies of motifs can be constructed, including "group phylogenies"; an early pre-descendent of the evolutionary trace methods now widely available WHEEL (1991) Depiction of protein sequence (family) conservation on "helical wheels" with PostScript output. SITEPRED (1991-1992) Prediction of active site residues from large multiple sequence alignments of protein families with divergent functions. The successful application of this approach to CCHH zinc fingers resulted in a single author article in EMBO Journal (Jacobs, 1992).

Biography In the final year of my B.Sc.(Hons) (1986, 1st Class) in which I studied both biology and computer science, I discovered bioinformatics which offered a niche where I could exploit both my interest in molecular biology and computer science. After completing my degree I worked as a computer programmer (Computing Technology Ltd.). After hours I taught myself bioinformatics by reading the research literature at the local university library. From this I drew up my own research proposal, eventually obtaining a Ph.D. studentship in the Structural Studies section of MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology at Cambridge University. There I studied under Dr. Andrew McLachlan (FRS), one of the founders of bioinformatics who published his first bioinformatics paper in 1969, along with Sir Aaron Klug (FRS, OM, Nobel laureate, Chemistry, 1982) and Dr. Daniela Rhodes and others. My Ph.D. research focused on DNA-binding proteins, in particular the bZIP and CCHH zinc finger protein families. This research included molecular dynamic simulations of proteins, sequence analysis, studies of protein-DNA complex structures, basic phylogenetics and development of a large program to analyse protein motifs written over several years. This work includes correctly predicting the DNA-binding residues of zinc fingers from sequence analysis (Jacobs, GH, EMBO J. 1992). Since leaving Cambridge, I have continued to study protein-DNA interactions, spent a period doing genetic linkage analysis and computer programming maintaining the Transterm database and presenting it as an interactive website. More recently, I have established myself as an independent scientist, setting up BioinfoTools as a vehicle to deliver my bioinformatics software and consulting services. Having reviewed where bioinformatics and computer programming is headed, a portfolio of projects has been developed from a log of research ideas which has been maintained over many years. Using this, I am now bringing the most promising projects to life. Supported by with Amonida Zadissa and Anar Khan I co-coordinate the local Bioinformatics Club whose members are drawn from several departments of the local university and local biotechnology companies. I am a member of the local biotechnology cluster (bioSouth) and frequently contribute to national taskforces in bioinformatics and biotechnology. 6?@klmFa  V^*i{Aex 3;dl^hG%L%%% 'ʿ򸲮656 56CJ5CJCJ6PJmH nH CJ PJmH nH 0J>*B*CJjB*CJUB*CJjB*CJUCJCJ( jCJUD56Gtj & F & p@ P !  ! 56GtjFa 4 Y Žxnd_Y ;<    -      _    '  <      j          !Fa 4 Y C  .

Wide range of bioinformatics and biological interests. Actively follows developments in software development, bioinformatics and gene regulation. Biological focus on higher eukaryote gene regulation and chromatin structure from atomic interactions to organelle (nucleus). Molecular structure analysis, especially proteins, DNA and protein-DNA interactions. Molecular modelling. Sequence analysis, especially protein sequences, protein binding sites in DNA and multiple sequence alignment and analysis. Experienced programmer in a wide range of programming languages since 1982. Algorithm development, including advanced techniques such as suffix trees and computational geometry. Current projects and research interests The structural bioinformatics of higher eukaryote gene regulation. This major project binds together several aspects including the nature of protein-DNA interactions, available atomic structures of protein-DNA complexes and the role of chromatin in higher eukaryote gene regulation. Extracting evolutionary, protein-substrate, protein-protein interaction and protein structure information from alignments of protein sequences. High-speed data stores for biological sequence and structure data. Protein sequence-structure matching. Other work-related interests include computer language design, cognitive neuroscience, science management and disability-related issues. Previous experience Programming (see separate section below for examples of software written): A simple operating system for a 4-CPU overlapping RAM system - programmed in C, cross-compiled, burned into an EPROM and debugged with an osciloscope. Parsing Genbank and EMBL flat-file databases. Development of interactive web sites. Suffix trees for sequence analysis. New sorting algorithm, novel variant on heapsort. Implemented own database to analyse multiple sequence alignments from ground up. Not a relational database-based product. Supports many operations. Experienced in a wide range of computer languages including C, Perl, Pascal, HTML, CSS, Unix shell scripting. Bioinformatics science: Studying motifs in, and structures of, DNA-binding proteins. First method to identify functional residues from multiple sequence alignment of functional divergent proteins. Applied to correctly predict the substrate binding residues of CCHH zinc fingers from protein sequence data. Molecular dynamic simulations, molecular modelling and sequence analysis of the leucine zipper coiled-coil domain of the bZIP family of transcriptional activators. Molecular modelling and sequence analyses of CCHH zinc finger proteins, using own multiple sequence analysis software written for the purpose.
