Of downtown Boston, at Tufts Medical Center, singing the praises of IMG and the Integrated Microbial Genomes resources. I love workshops that only require a trip on the Orange Line. Today we were doing the World Tour of Genomics Resources. Tomorrow it is UCSC Genome Browser (intro + advanced), and Thursday ENCODE. So if you [...]
Just over a month ago an issue of Nature had two articles from the Human Microbiome Project Consortium – you may have seen them, or noticed the Friday SNPets items we had on them. I promised myself that I’d read the articles (which I did), and that I’d visit my old friends the IMG (Integrated [...]
As you may know, we’ve been doing tips-of-the-week for three years now. We have completed around 150 little tidbit introductions to various resources. At the end of the year we’ve established a sort of holiday tradition: we are doing a summary post to collect them all. If you have missed any of them it’s a great way [...]
A few weeks ago a commenter asked me to compare IMG (Integrated Microbial Genomes) to the UCSC Microbial Genome browser. I’ve been exploring & thinking since then & am going to give a very brief comparison of those two resources in today’s tip & I’ll expand the comparison to other resources here in the text [...]
I’ve got a few news items regarding IMG, or Integrated Microbial Genomes, from the DOE Joint Genome Institute. The first item is that their Sept 2010 release occurred this week. IMG is now on version 3.2, has updated features and a bunch of new/revised genomes. I’ve begun updating our tutorial & will let you know [...]
Sorry for the sparseness of late. We were all over the place doing UCSC Genome Browser (we do intro + advanced), ENCODE, and Galaxy workshops. At NIH we also did IMG and VISTA (Man, that security at NIH is fierce….). Trey is still on the road, in fact, doing the training in Morocco. Ok, you [...]
Comprehensive tutorials on the publicly available Ensembl and an overview of genome browsers enable researchers to quickly and effectively use these invaluable resources. Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 26, 2010 — OpenHelix today announced the availability of a new tutorial on Ensembl, and an updated tutorial suite on the Overview of Genome Browsers. Ensembl is a [...]
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… ROFL: Marriage vs PhD illustrated comparison. Hat Tip James. [Mary] DGV: Database of Genomic Variants newsletter [...]
Just caught the announcement via GenomeWeb that the GEBA project paper has been published with 53 bacterial genomes (see Nature for a summary article that is available, and the paper itself is here). They deliver 53 bacteria and 3 archaea. GEBA is the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea. They developed a strategy to select [...]
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 [...]
