In the realm of bioinformatics resources, few are more venerable than OMIM®, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man [well, originally not online, on index cards...]. For those who might be new to OMIM, it is a catalog of genes and their variations, and resulting phenotypes in human, with a more clinical perspective than some resources offer. [...]
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… ROFL: RT @madkayaker: Bioinformatics professor: “We’re going to skip over some stuff so we can get [...]
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… Ask a biologist site, intended primarily to serve grades preK-12, includes activities, stories, images & more [...]
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 [...]
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… @NCBI tweets: Books on the NCBI Bookshelf have a new Look and URL format (though old [...]
Today I’d like to introduce you to FLink, which is a tool that NCBI released earlier this year, and we recently came across during our ‘regularly scheduled’ update to our NCBI BioSystems tutorial. Although FLink was originally designed as a companion tool to BioSystems it has utility beyond linking a list to BioSystems. FLink, short [...]
We spend a lot of time talking about sequence data: where to find it, how to analyze it, etc. But increasingly we are seeing more and more data that comes from epigenomics projects. Recently a tweet from NCBI got me to look at their Epigenetics site again. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/epigenomics Their definition of epigenetics is: What is [...]
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… MetNetMaker: a software tool for making Metabolic Network and pathway representations. [Mary] Genome Workbench v2.1.1 release [...]
In today’s tip I will introduce you briefly to the changes at NCBI’s Protein database. I highlighted that changes had been made in a Friday SNPets, and someone asked for more details. Our full updated tutorial will be much more complete than this short tip, so be watching for that to be completed in the [...]
