Today’s tip of the week is a quick introduction to ChromoHub. ChromoHub is an annotated phylogeny of chromatin-mediated signaling genes. As the ChromoHub site says these are “genes involved in writing, reading and erasing the histone code.” These are epigenetic modifications that emerging as target classes for future drug therapies. ChromoHub maps annotated information about these [...]
In the series of talks from the Current Topics in Genome Analysis course from NHGRI, Laura Elnitski spoke on regulation and epigenetics. I’ll include some of my notes below, but be sure to check out the whole talk when you have a chance–and the slides are available for download from the CTGA page. Dr. Elnitski [...]
As you may know, we’ve been doing these video tips-of-the-week for FOUR years now. We have completed around 200 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 [...]
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 [...]
More and more we are seeing questions about ways to access Epigenomics data in the workshops we do. This often comes up in the workshop we do that focuses on the ENCODE data, because ENCODE is providing several epigenomics data sets that researchers are interested in. [The workshop we do is based on the materials [...]
Epigenetics and epigenomics are becoming more exciting areas of investigation, and we are seeing more requests for database resources to support them, and for the sources of data from these types of experiments. If you aren’t aware of these investigations at this point, check out their entries in the Talking Glossary of Genetic Terms: Epigenetics: [...]
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 [...]
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… The Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) is organizing a meeting to celebrate the launch of ICR’s Integrative [...]
As this Nature editorial says, the as the human genome (and a few hundred others) were completed, the amount of data had become daunting (we know that well here at OpenHelix, we deal with it everyday and daily make that more accessible to scientists through training . But also, importantly, even with all the data, [...]
