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 @Massgenomics: Highlights of ENCODE transcriptome paper, which soundly refuted “Widespread RNA and DNA differences” paper [...]
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… Nice video on RNA interference by Nature Reviews Genetics. You can access all of the featured [...]
I just wanted to give a heads up to our free webinar on the RCSB Protein Databank. It’s going to be next Wednesday, at 11am Pacific US time. (that’s 18:00 UTC). It’ll be about an hour, and did I say it’s free? Seating is limited, so register early. You can see our announcement here: http://blog.openhelix.eu/?p=11055 [...]
This is a quick post to update you on events & news items that I’ve gathered that are associated with the Protein Data Bank and other protein resources. We recently received a suggestion for the RCSB PDB through twitter: RT @27andaphd: @Comprendia @openhelix you know what? I really think the pdb should have a Firefox [...]
It’s probably just the human brain’s ability to connect dots & find patterns, but it can be interesting how many “unrelated” events and information bits accumulate in my head & eventually get mulled into an idea or theory. Take, for example, a recent biotech mixer, bits from an education leadership series & a past Nature [...]
In today’s tip I am going to feature a resource that I found recently. I’ve been updating our dbSNP tutorial, which Mary & Trey will be presenting at workshops in Morocco, and also our free PDB tutorial, which is sponsored by the RCSB PDB team. I have therefore been thinking about protein structures and small [...]
It is often beneficial to visit multiple biomedical databases or resources, even if they seem to provide overlapping information because no two resources focus on the exact same information, or present it in exactly the same way. Instead of duplicating each others’ curation efforts, database often link out to related information at other resources. You [...]
In our ongoing pursuit of up-to-date tutorials, I’ve been tracking changes that are occurring at resources and planning our updates accordingly. Protein resources are especially going to keep me out of trouble this summer, because their developers and curators have been busy! I’ve compiled a short synopsis below, and would appreciate [...]
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. [...]
The new tutorial reflects the many changes and enhancements on the RCSB PDB site, and includes a narrated on-line tutorial, PowerPoint slides, handouts, and exercises. Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) April 12, 2011 The Research Collaboratory for Structural Biology (RCSB) Protein Data Bank (PDB) has partnered with OpenHelix to provide a revised and updated tutorial (http://www.openhelix.com/PDB) on [...]
