Recently when I was adding videos to our SciVee collection, I noticed that there was a set of new videos about BindingDB. This database has been around for a long time, and I was surprised to realize that we hadn’t covered it yet. And it certainly only grows more important to understand proteins and their [...]
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… Wow: the little skate genome. 49 chromosomes, 59x coverage. Still tough to assemble: RT @Biomedical101: Assembling [...]
BioStar is a site for asking, answering and discussing bioinformatics question s. We are members of the community and find it very useful. Often questions and answers arise at BioStar that are germane to our readers (end users of genomics resources). Every Thursday we will be highlighting one of those questions and answers here in [...]
For this week’s tip of the week I’m going to introduce iRefWeb, a resource that provides thousands of data points on protein-protein interactions. If you follow this blog regularly, you may remember that we had a guest post from the iRefWeb team not too long ago. It was a nice overview of many of the [...]
Our “What’s Your Problem” post will be transitioning to a “What’s the Answer” post this week and going forward. BioStar is a site for asking, answering and discussing bioinformatics questions. We are members of the community and find it very useful. Often questions and answers arise at BioStar that are germane to our readers (end [...]
We’ve long been fans of the tools developed by the team responsible for MINT: Molecular INTeraction database. MINT is a curated resource full of experimentally verified protein-protein interactions, with some great visualization options. In addition to the main MINT interface, there are other aspects to the site that bring other types of visualization as well. [...]
The MINT or Molecular Interaction database for examination of protein interaction networks has long been a favorite tool of mine. The regular “flavor” of MINT includes over 100,000 interactions with a focus on experimentally verified protein interaction data. But recently I became aware of the VirusMINT data that is now available as well. The VirusMINT [...]
Catching up on some reading I came across a new database topic this week–MatrixDB. The goal of MatrixDB is to capture information about interactions involving extracellular molecules. I have always been a fan of extracellular matrix, but thought it was a pretty murky topic. I like the idea of a database devoted to this type [...]
We are in the process of developing a suite of tutorials on interactions software, so we’ll have a lot more to say about that over the next few months. But today I wanted to touch on an interactions tool embedded in a model organism browser. When we were developing the WormBase tutorial we found this [...]
