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… I LOVE the idea of the obituary section for NAR! RT @LabSpaces: Jerm Looks at the [...]
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… TCGA = The Cancer Genome Atlas: RT @ewanbirney: RT @genome_gov: TCGA data will now flow to [...]
We all know and love dbSNP, and DGV, and 1000 Genomes, and HapMap, and OMIM, and the couple of other dozen variation databases I can think of off the top of my head. But–even though there’s a lot of stuff out there–you never know what you aren’t seeing. What *isn’t* yet stored in those resources? [...]
This notice came from DGV (Database of Genomic Variants) while I was on vacation last week, but I wanted to highlight this for a couple of reasons. First–it’s very cool that these groups have now chosen to establish a standard across databases for the representations of the copy-number variation displays. But I also like that [...]
For this week’s Tip of the Week I’ll introduce Varietas, a resource that integrates human variation information such as SNP and CNV data, and offers a handy tabular output with links to additional databases that will enable researchers to quickly explore other sources of information about the variations or regions of interest. I think this [...]
Welcome to our Friday feature link dump: 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… Sorry, wordpress ate the post during an update….will try to re-create ASAP From BioTechniques: Human Microbiome Project [...]
So, remember that tidal wave of data we were going to get from the human genome project? Yeah. That was a puddle compared to what’s coming your way now. For this week’s tip of the week I will introduce the very ambitious big data project from the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC). In addition, you’ll [...]
As I was browsing over NCBI’s homepage, I happened to notice an announcement dated March 2nd that stated that the dbVar resource that Mary mentioned briefly in a weekly tip a while back is now publicly available. Here’s the brief announcement: Tuesday, March 02, 2010, 1:00:00 PM NCBI’s new database of Genomic Structural Variation (dbVar) [...]
This next post in our continuing semi-regular Guest Post series is from Xiaowu Gai, the Bioinformatics Core Director at CHOP . If you are a provider of a free, publicly available genomics tool, database or resource and would like to convey something to users on our guest post feature, please feel free to contact us [...]
So I’m all excited about the genome festival that I’m seeing, related to the publication of the new sequence version of corn. You can access the main paper in Science, and there’s a very neat diagram in figure 1 that is like looking across time at the sequence data and into the corn nebula. But [...]
