BioMart is widely-used data management open-source software, with an interface that enables end-users to generate complex and customized queries across many types and sources of biological data. It’s part of the GMOD tool kit, and many project teams that have big data have chosen the BioMart software to organize and make their data available to [...]
Last year I had the opportunity to give a workshop in Ifrane Morocco (UCSC Genome and Table browsers, Galaxy) at Al Akhawayn University. This year, Mary and I returned for a longer 3-day workshop at University Hassan II in Mohammadia. OpenHelix was a co-sponsor of the workshop (donating our time, materials and expertise). The workshop [...]
This week’s video tip is different from our usual tips in several ways. First, you won’t hear me–this webinar was done by Heather Merk of Ohio State. We also usually highlight web-based tools, and this presentation on R statistical computing tools relies on the command line. And it’s longer than we usually do–but because of [...]
I did this tip about two years ago. That was in our old system and I wanted to update it to our Scivee system. In addition, we did this tip using Galaxy and Galaxy has had a lot of changes since then. In this weeks tip I am going to walk you through a quick [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
I did this tip over two years ago and am revisiting it today with a bit more information, on SciVee (so it’s shareable) and up-to-date. I’ve been updating our Galaxy tutorial and that tip has been one of the most tweeted, shared and visited tips we’ve done (not the most, just one of), so thought [...]
Integrating large data sets for queries within–and across–various collections is one of the arenas that has lately been pretty active in bioinformatics. As more and more “big data” projects yield huge numbers of data points and data types, this is only becoming more necessary. I love to browse data, but there are times when a [...]
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… Building Bricks of Life: “largest LEGO DNA sculpture in the world” [Jennifer] PDB announces “PDB-101, a [...]
We’re on the road this week doing workshops, so I needed to have this tip prepared well ahead of time. To make it easy on myself, I’m going to simply point you to a recent informative webinar on Taverna, that was hosted by Bitesize Bio (and check out their other upcoming webinars). The image I [...]
