Late last month the National Center for Biotechnology Information, or NCBI, released a new resource containing information on genetic tests. The resource’s name is the Genetic Testing Registry (GTR), and according to its homepage, the GTR: ” provides a central location for voluntary submission of genetic test information by providers. The scope includes the test’s purpose, methodology, validity, [...]

Whoa. Usually I don’t get my genetics news from Forbes, but I thought this was interesting for this field. My Bio SmartBrief email today had a link to this tidbit: California Orders Stop To Gene Testing California becomes the second big state to crack down on companies that offer gene tests to consumers via the [...]
Comprehensive tutorials on the disease gene databases GeneTests and Genetic Home Reference enable researchers to quickly and effectively use these invaluable resources. OpenHelix today announced the availability of new tutorial suites on two genetic disease resources: GeneTests and Genetic Home Reference.

Bioinformatics and Genomics sometimes (always?) brings together two very different groups: biologists and computer scientists. They are often biologists who know something about computers and computer scientists who know something about biology and sometimes they are computational biologists who do both. We (OpenHelix scientists) train biologists who want to use genomics tools that computational biologists [...]
