and we love our model organisms! A little ditty about sticklebacks from a lab: ht: Pharyngula Hey, btw, if you want to see what they are singing about, check out the cute little stickleback’s genome at UCSC, Ensembl, or read a bit more .
You know, when the catfish genome is complete, that will be a cool addition to our “Yet another Genome” posts (which I should make a regular series or some update somewhere). Till the genome is complete, you can view and analyze catfish genomic data at cBARBEL, reported in this weeks NAR advance access: Catfish Breeder And Researcher Bioinformatics Entry Location. Among other [...]
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… A Cuban bioinformatics group announces updates to their Cytoscape plug-in. “A new update of SysBiomics database [...]
If you haven’t been reading the news, the draft sequence of the Neandertal (or is it Neanderthal, spell check won’t take the former) was released and published in Science today. There is a lot of fascinating stuff over there. Still reading it. Of course the big news, the stuff thats flying through the news, are [...]
This next post in our continuing semi-regular Guest Post series is from Eric Lyons, of CoGe at the University of California, Berkeley. If you are a provider of a free, publicly available genomics tool, database or resource and would like to convey something to users on our guest post feature, please feel free to contact [...]
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… A great list of bioinformatics analysis algorithms and tools. [Trey] BMC has a new journal entitled Mobile [...]
via The Long Now and the projects new publication in the Journal of Heredity, the Genome 10K project aims: to assemble a genomic zoo—a collection of DNA sequences representing the genomes of 10,000 vertebrate species, approximately one for every vertebrate genus. The trajectory of cost reduction in DNA sequencing suggests that this project will be [...]
Being summer, a strangely slow connection and some other factors, I am embedding a talk from Doug Ramsey (posted on SciVee) on the GEBA project at JGI (instead of doing a tip myself . The GEBA project recognizes that many, if not most, of the bacterial and archaeal genomes that have been sequenced to date [...]
Hmm, that sounds like magic mushrooms. But that’s not what I’m talking about . Recently, I had the opportunity to give a short workshop at the Genetics and Genomics of Infectious Disease conference in Singapore. It went well, and I learned a lot. Afterwards, my family came out to SE Asia for a vacation, but [...]
So, yesterday was the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth. Lots of festivities and NPR stories surrounding that day including a few announcements like UCSC announcing their v200th browser code a day early so as to coincide (they couldn’t resist the coincidence ). Another announcement that was apropos was the announcement that researchers at the Max [...]
