Well, more than a tip, a lecture. We haven’t done a tip today, we are in grant application process (time limiting) and this is an excellent video we’d like for more to see. Mary posted the first lecture, The Genomic Landscape circa 2012, in a series given at NIH. As the course description mentions, “The lectures [...]
NIH scientists and staff can now efficiently and effectively learn to use bioinformatics and genomics resources with the extensive tutorial suite catalog from OpenHelix. Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) April 19, 2010 — The National Institutes of Health Library (www.nihlibrary.nih.gov) has purchased a subscription toOpenHelix (www.openhelix.com) giving NIH scientists and staff access to over 90 tutorial suites on [...]
Hey folks–if you are working in the NIH system, at any of the campuses, you should now have full access to all of the OpenHelix tutorials. NIH has taken a subscription to them, and from the NIH Library page you can get the link to OpenHelix. Or you can go here directly: http://www.openhelix.com/ Once you [...]
We are going to try a new Friday feature. 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. We are going to start posting them in a Friday feature of a list of snippets of information we call “SNPpets” [...]

If you haven’t already seen it, open-access publishing either just made a jump backward or forward. The not-so-open access Springer publisher bought Biomed Central, the open access publisher recently. Open access publishing took a huge leap with the passage of a law last year that requires NIH-funded research to be open access and deposited in [...]
From Kaisernetwork.org, this web seminar on Wednesday 8/20 1ET (tomorrow): View a live webcast of the Kaiser Family Foundation’s series, Today’s Topics In Health Disparities, which will discuss the potential of race-based medical solutions for improving healthcare and reducing racial/ethnic health disparities.

I’m on a lot of mailing lists. We are trying to keep up with software updates on a whole bunch of tools and sites–all of which have their own system, of course. Of course there are a number of science ones–not only bioinformatics/genomics–that we need to be on top of. Then there are the industry [...]
The Office of Technology administers the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program and the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Program to provide funding to small and fledgling biotechnology and genomics businesses. These programs are currently scheduled to sunset in September, but this week an extension is being considered that would take the programs through September [...]
At OpenHelix, we certainly appreciate DNA! So we wanted to join in the festivities on DNA Day–this year the party is April 25, just about a week from today. DNA Day commemorates the completion* of the human genome sequencing project. Annually there are special events, teaching and learning opportunities, and sometimes cupcakes**. We are going [...]
