eGIFT, as the tag line says, is a tool to extract gene information from text. It’s a tool that allows you to search for and explore terms and documents related to a gene or set of genes. There are many ways to search and explore eGIFT, find genes given a specific term, find terms related [...]
BioStar is a site for asking, answering and discussing bioinformatics questions. We are members of the community 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 [...]
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… Chromothripsis – new model for some cancers? From GenomeWeb Daily News. I’m interested in seeing follow [...]
We spend a lot of time exploring genomic data, variations, and annotations. But of course a linear perspective on the genes and sequences is not the only way to examine the data. Understanding the pathways in which genes and molecular entities interact is crucial to understanding systems biology. There are a number of tools which [...]
There may be a lot of opportunity to get one’s genome of interest sequenced in the near future. And I don’t only mean your own personal genome–I mean your species of interest. There should be academic centers and service providers who offer genome sequencing at increasingly reasonable pricing soon. So let’s say you get your [...]
Yes, I know, but I used to be resistant to blogging too…. I’m starting to get a number of announcements about Twitter feeds from bioinformatics resource groups. I think it’s time to start a collection of those. This post will have a couple to get started, but I’m going to use this as a collector [...]
No doubt you’ve seen all those Gene Ontology (GO) terms in the databases. There’s a nice story behind the development, structure and use of GO terms which we describe in our full tutorial on the topic. But another important feature of GO is that is continues to evolve and improve, and a new feature is [...]
Comprehensive tutorials on the Gene Ontology and Textpresso databases enable researchers to quickly and effectively use these invaluable resources. Seattle, WA (PRWEB) December 8, 2008 — OpenHelix today announced the availability of an updated suite on the Gene Ontology (GO) database and a new tutorial on Textpresso. Gene Ontology is a consortium project developed to [...]
An email from the GO mailing list reminded me of some upcoming changes. It used to be that there were term relationships of “is a” and “part of” between items. Recently they added a new relationship–”regulates” in the Biological Process hierarchy. And regulates can be plain, positive, or negative–with very cool icons to make that [...]
We are thinking quite a bit about pathway tools these days. I got a jolt of input on them from the ICSB meeting recently, too. As I continue to progress through my meeting notes I’ll be checking out more tools and writing about them. One of the things that seemed new and important (well, to [...]
