What’s the Answer? (Gene ID conversion)

12 April, 2012 (08:34) | What's the Answer? | By: Trey

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. You [...]

Tip of the Week: Prioritizing Genes

6 July, 2011 (09:18) | Tip of the Week | By: Trey

Many types of experiments today return large lists of genes, association studies, expression arrays, linkage analysis and more. The researcher needs to determine which of those genes are of most interest and promising so the next step in the analysis is to prioritize the list and find the method to do so. There are a [...]

Gene ID converters compared

From my HUM-MOLGEN mailing list newsletter today I spotted an interesting comparison.  We get a lot of questions about how to convert IDs or how to best move from one data source to another.  We’ve done some explorations of that in the past (MatchMiner is one example).   This is not the sort of sexy thing [...]

Tip of the Week: list of genes and DAVID

17 December, 2008 (08:55) | Tip of the Week | By: Mary

This week I’m returning to the exercise wherein I look at tools that analyze lists of genes. As before, I’m taking that list of genes I created some time ago. It was generated as a list of “disease” genes from UniProt. Today I’m taking that list to another resource: DAVID. DAVID is an unfortunate name [...]
