Today’s tip is from NCBI. Specifically, NCBI’s Genome Workbench. The workbench is …an integrated application for viewing and analyzing sequence data. With Genome Workbench, you can view data in publically available sequence databases at NCBI, and mix this data with your own private data. It’s a useful program and they have a great set [...]
A recent NCBI Newsletter announced the release of a new resource named the 1000 Genomes Dataset Browser, and that is the resource that I will be featuring in this tip. It is one of the tools available through the new NCBI Variation resources page, which also features resources such as dbSNP, dbVar, dbGaP and ClinVar (many [...]
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… RT @torstenseemann: Awesome compilation of key #bioinformatics publications http://t.co/Ap68n7N4 [Mary] RT @dgmacarthur: Superb example of blogging [...]
In today’s tip I am linking to a YouTube video from NCBI that briefly explains the new Filters Sidebar feature that has been added to PubMed. We first saw a tweet that the change was coming back on May 2nd, just as I was completing a total update to our full PubMed tutorial*. I struggled with [...]
A few months ago, Jennifer did a nice tip on on NCBI’s Genome Resources and the changes there. There she briefly mentioned Genome Project resource moving to a new home, BioProject, just about a year ago. Today, I’d like to give you a quick overview of BioProject. It was described in this year’s issue of [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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… And we’ll monitor this so we can update our tutorial on WormBase when the new interface [...]
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… Well, I did this first in a blog post with my allergy gene–but they did a [...]
As I say in the tip movie, I like to visit NCBI’s homepage & just roam around over there to get an idea of what’s new. They develop so many bioscience tools, algorithms & other resources that there’s always SOMETHING new. Today I found out that they have updated their Cn3D interactive 3D viewer software [...]
