PATRIC is a integration portal (as the name implies) of data concerning disease-causing infectious bacteria. Or to put it in their words: PATRIC is the Bacterial Bioinformatics Resource Center, an information system designed to support the biomedical research community’s work on bacterial infectious diseases via integration of vital pathogen information with rich data and analysis tools. [...]
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 [...]

There are several methods that can be used to predict if a particular non-synonymous SNP is deleterious; SIFT and PolyPhen, among others. Which one to use will be up to the individual researcher and the strengths and weakness of the predictors, though the two mentioned do a pretty good job. Today’s tip will be on the web [...]
microRNAs have become a rich source of research as they probably have a huge effect on gene expression and disease. The human genome may encode over 1,000 miRNAs that target over half of our genes. They might be implicated in a lot of common diseases (which not yet have been picked up in GWAS studies?). [...]
Ok, so this isn’t the same as our usual tips. But recently I was involved in an animal models project that led me to this resource on genomic pathology. The deeper I got into this animal model project, the more clear it became that a tremendous amount of genomic data is coming that is going [...]
Comprehensive tutorial on the publicly available GeneTests resource enable researchers to quickly and effectively use this invaluable resource. Seattle, WA (PRWEB) May 25, 2010 – OpenHelix today announced the availability of an updated tutorial suite on GeneTests. GeneTests is an integrated resource designed to provide access to current genetic testing and other clinical genetics information. The [...]
Today’s tip is on a new genotype/phenotype resource from the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, or SIB. I was already a fan of many SIB tools and resources, and was using one (ENZYME) when I found a notice about SwissVar. SwissVar is described as ‘a portal to Swiss-Prot diseases and variants.’ It includes information about genotype-phenotype [...]
Ok, so we don’t have GWAS (Genome-wide Association Study) mondays, but we might as well have. The field of study seems to be growing hugely fast, especially when you consider one of the first major GWAS was published just a short 2 years ago (or 4 years ago, depending on how you define major, still… [...]
