Tip of the Week: Ratmine
Ratmine is a ‘data warehouse’ that allows the user to construct queries across different areas of biological knowledge from SNPs to Pathways. It’s developed by the people at RGD and uses Intermine a project developed for Flymine and as part of a project between RGD, SGD and ZFIN to implement Intermine for these databases and ” develop new methods of interoperability for cross-organism research.” We’ve mentioned Intermine before and it’s also used in ModEncode Intermine is going to have to be a subject of a later post I think

This tip is actually a video done by the RGD group and one of those gems I’ve found at SciVee in our attempts to integrate our tips at SciVee (which will be coming). We occasionally will highlight a short tutorial done by someone else here at our tips (occasionally) and since I’ve found this gem and just got back from vacation in Florida …
