A recent NCBI Newsletter announced the release of a new resource named the 1000 Genomes Dataset Browser, and that is the resource that I will be featuring in this tip. It is one of the tools available through the new NCBI Variation resources page, which also features resources such as dbSNP, dbVar, dbGaP and ClinVar (many [...]
Welcome to our Friday feature link collection: SNPpets. During the week we come across a lot of links and reads that we think are interesting, but don’t make it to a blog post. Here they are for your enjoyment… RT @torstenseemann: Awesome compilation of key #bioinformatics publications http://t.co/Ap68n7N4 [Mary] RT @dgmacarthur: Superb example of blogging [...]
BioStar is a site for asking, answering and discussing bioinformatics questions. We are members of thecommunity and find it very useful. Often questions and answers arise at BioStar that are germane to our readers (end users of genomics resources). Every Thursday we will be highlighting one of those questions and answers here in this thread. [...]
Welcome to our Friday feature link collection: SNPpets. During the week we come across a lot of links and reads that we think are interesting, but don’t make it to a blog post. Here they are for your enjoyment… Heh. RT @davidmam: #filmquotebioinformatics The first rule about bioinformatics in grants is that nobody talks about [...]
A few months ago, Jennifer did a nice tip on on NCBI’s Genome Resources and the changes there. There she briefly mentioned Genome Project resource moving to a new home, BioProject, just about a year ago. Today, I’d like to give you a quick overview of BioProject. It was described in this year’s issue of [...]
We are on the road this week at a workshop in Southern California, so I am going to hand off my tip responsibilities to Lynn Jorde. Another session in the Current Topics in Genome Analysis 2012 course that has been organized by the NHGRI featured Lynn Jorde. Lynn delivered a lecture (about 1.5 hours long [...]
While we were traveling for workshops the other day, there was an announcement from the UCSC Genome Browser team that a lot of people have been waiting for: dbSNP132 can be explored on the browser now. It is available on the hg19 assembly–which is the February 2009 one that you can select in the human [...]

As you may know, we’ve been doing tips-of-the-week for three years now. We have completed around 150 little tidbit introductions to various resources. At the end of the year we’ve established a sort of holiday tradition: we are doing a summary post to collect them all. If you have missed any of them it’s a great way [...]
Right now on the Science section of The Guardian, I find this: Er, what? OK–but the real news is in Nature today. With an appropriate cover image. Anyway, I’ve just barely had a chance to look over the paper. I often find the supplemental info is what I need (methods, software, etc), and that’s almost [...]
