A question we get asked all the time–and I see on mailings lists with about a twice/year frequency–is where can I look at the restriction sites in my sequences? I’m going to mention a few that I know about, but if anyone has other favorite tools or spots, do let us know in the comments. [...]
A call came from RGD this week across their mailing list. They are doing a “white paper” to accompany a group of research papers are coming out in Nature Genetics. You can read the paper and become a signatory on this paper, demonstrating your support for rat genome research. There is a podcast right on [...]
Welcome to the “What’s Your Problem?” (WYP) open thread. The purpose of this entry is to allow the community to ask questions on the use of genomics resources. Think of us as a virtual help desk. If you have a question about how to access a certain kind of data, or how to use a [...]

In the recent database issue of NAR, there are two reports of transposable element (TE) databases. I already discussed one in an earlier post. That one is a database that includes Gypsy elements (non-LTR retroposons) and retroviruses and aims to be a database “devoted to the non-redundant analysis and evolutionary-based classification of mobile genetic elements.” [...]

I started my Ph.D. studies into the evolution of non-LTR retrotransposable elements in 1990 and found the world of mobile genetic elements or transposons (aka a long time ago… jumping genes) to be varied, complicated and fascinating. In 1993 I discovered the web. I’ve hoped for and searched for a database of these “Mobile genetic [...]
If you had looked at the sponsored Genomics Resource Tutorials in the last week and were having problems, please check this post (or the Genomics Resource Tutorial page), that problem has been fixed.
Our server went down last week and the host provider had to move our server. The settings weren’t completely corrected, so if you have attempted to view the free tutorials and training materials this week, you might have had problems doing so. We have fixed that problem and those links now work. Please visit our [...]
