These skills are invaluable given the present direction of medical diagnosis and treatment of diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, they are presenting their work on how they used the Python programming language to write codes to implement several nucleotide and protein sequence algorithms. They further implemented a simplified experiential for a well-known algorithm (BLAST) in computational biology \u2013 they called their version of the algorithm and its implementation \u201cMini-BLAST\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is because protein sequences (and their corresponding three-dimensional structures) provide a wealth of information about disease etiology,\u201d said Shehzein.<\/p>\n<p>Maheen further stressed that \u201cthe information proteins provide leads to a better understanding of how the human body functions; and that variation in protein sequences and structures give rise to certain diseases in humans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Quality: Biology Undergrads Who Code<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While taking an introductory computer science class this fall, they extended their class project and, on the advice of their instructor, <strong>Louis Ehwerhemuepha<\/strong>, submitted an abstract of their project for poster presentation at the conference. To everyone\u2019s surprise and delight, their work caught the eyes of the conference organizers and they were selected to give <i>both<\/i> a poster and an oral presentation.<\/p>\n<p>With career goals in medicine and research, both Maheen and Shehzein are excited, because they feel equipped with the basic tools to understand more complicated computational problems in biology and if need be develop their own novel methods in the future.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px\">Louis noted that \u201ca key quality that sets out an undergraduate student in the biological sciences is the ability to code and their computational skills in general. Therefore, both students have demonstrated skills that would set them apart from and ahead of any of their counterparts with little or no such skill.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px\">For more information about the conference, please visit <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px\" href=\"http:\/\/www.iscb.org\/rocky2013\">http:\/\/www.iscb.org\/rocky2013<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;line-height: 24px\">About\u00a0Maheen Kibriya<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Maheen Kibriya, the first author of the work, is currently pursuing her Bachelors of Science degree as a senior <a title=\"Biological Sciences at Chapman\" href=\"http:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/scst\/earth-environmental-sciences\/bs-biological-sciences.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Biological Sciences<\/a> major and <a title=\"Peace Studies at Chapman\" href=\"http:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/wilkinson\/peace-studies\/\" target=\"_blank\">Peace Studies<\/a> minor at Chapman University.
