We’ll be having our July 19th Galaxy webinar today, and we find there are questions to follow up afterwards that are often better handled in discussions on the blog. If there are questions we didn’t have time to get to–or things we want to expand on with more detail–we can discuss them in this thread. Or if [...]
This week I attended and gave a talk at ISMB in Long Beach. While there I had the opportunity to attend a session on Galaxy where Jeremy Goecks spoke on Galaxy Visualizations and Greg Von Kuster spoke about the “first biomedical AppStore,” the Galaxy Toolshed. As always, I learned a few new things. Today’s tip [...]
Well, not that kind of galaxy (though visualizing those are quite nice), this kind of Galaxy. Galaxy is an excellent tool to analyze, reproduce and share genomics data and the Galaxy folks are always updating, improving and adding features to the tool. We have a tutorial for Galaxy to help you get started using this tool. As you [...]
UPDATE: Galaxy is up–but… Be nice–don’t run giant projects right now…and it might not be entirely stable anyway. If you can wait, it might be wise. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ I saw a notice earlier, but figured it would be short term. However, just now I saw this: You can follow the Galaxy twitter feed for updates: @GalaxyProject [...]
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… Mmm hmm: RT @engagedethics: MT @BrianMBot: “everyone is all excited about ‘machine learning’ – need to remember [...]
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 from last year, 2011 (yep, it’s 2012 now). 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 [...]
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… News from the UCSC Genome Browser RT @GenomeBrowser: We now support Variant Call Format (VCF) a [...]
Yesterday a tweet to a great post came across the ethers, and ever since I read it I knew I had to write this post. Here’s the original nugget: RT @ctitusbrown: (my) thoughts on data intensive science & workflows: http://bit.ly/tWXSnx It is a post about why end users are not adopting workflows which could really [...]
Recently many of the bioinformatics tweeps I follow were excited about the tool called VarSifter. Here’s the notice that I saw: RT @yokofakun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7azpqTWFuM Jamie Teer describes VarSifter, an interactive GUI tool for handing/quering/filtering VCFs #ngs I just had a chance to watch the video, and now I can see why they were impressed! Over [...]
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 [...]
