NCBI was created in 1988 and has maintained the GenBank database for years. They also provide many computational resources and data retrieval systems for many types of biological data. As such they know all too well how quickly the data that biologists collect has changed and expanded. As uses for various data types have been [...]
I did a tip on CoGe’s tool, GeVo about two years ago and we’ve had a guest post about CoGe from Eric Lyons, the lead developer of CoGe just over a year ago. In our ongoing and occasional quest to keep our tips fresh (and move them to SciVee), I’ve decided to revisit CoGe and [...]
I was playing around with Google Scholar’s new citation feature that allowed me to collect my papers in one place easily (worked pretty well, btw, save a few glitches, see below) when I noticed it missed a paper of mine from 2000: “Gene context conservation of a higher order than operons.” The abstract: Operons, co-transcribed [...]
Today’s tip of the week is on SNPTips. We had a guest post on this earlier. We usually do tips on databases and analysis tools, but after getting our 23andme data, we’ve been using SNPTips often and thought it might be of use to some of our readers. SNPTips was created by 5am Solutions for [...]
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… NIGMS Feedback Loop on “Maintaining “Legacy” Scientific Resources“, which I think is an important discussion & [...]
This week’s tip is a brief introduction to Galaxy Pages. These are special pages that users can create within the Galaxy system to annotate, describe and explain various analyses done using Galaxy. The user has many abilities to link to and embed histories, workflows and datasets along with using text and images and more to [...]
Galaxy started out as a very useful tool to do genomics research that was reproducible and sharable. One of my pet peeves in reading research papers that use genomic analysis or online genomics resources is the materials and methods sections. Often the methods and parameters used are mentioned only in a very cursory manner, if [...]
Ok, so this isn’t the same as our usual tips. But recently I was involved in an animal models project that led me to this resource on genomic pathology. The deeper I got into this animal model project, the more clear it became that a tremendous amount of genomic data is coming that is going [...]
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… RoBuST “has been developed as root and bulb plant community research platform for integrated analysis of [...]
Last week I attended and taught a workshop for the Moroccan American Society for Life Sciences (Biomatec-US) at their 2nd International Workshop and 9th Annual Meeting, in Ifrane Morocco. I was thoroughly impressed. Impressed with Morocco, Moroccan Scientists and Moroccan students. I had the opportunity to interact with all three. First this students. I taught [...]
