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 [...]
Last week some of you may have attended the Reactome webinar with Mary & I and heard about some of the great new features over there. I had already been exploring & testing the interface updates because I am currently updating our full tutorial on Reactome, but the webinar was a nice confirmation that I [...]
We were on the road last week doing workshops, so this is a few days old now. But if you aren’t on the GO Friends mailing list it’s possible it’s new for you. A quick word about GO Friends list: because so many tools rely on Gene Ontology and have some kind of GO components, [...]
Mary got an announcement about a new Reactome release today through the Gofriends mailing list. You can read the announcement, and I’ll share my brief analysis of the release here. I’ve been playing with the new functions this afternoon. If you check out the release, or examine the image I’ve included, you’ll notice immediately that [...]
We spend a lot of time exploring genomic data, variations, and annotations. But of course a linear perspective on the genes and sequences is not the only way to examine the data. Understanding the pathways in which genes and molecular entities interact is crucial to understanding systems biology. There are a number of tools which [...]
Welcome to our Friday feature link dump: 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… @reactome: Ver 3 of FlyReactome Knowledgebase released: http://tinyurl.com/388a8sh [Mary] Are your kids bored enough with their summer [...]
This next post in our continuing semi-regular Guest Post series is from Allen Peter Davis, of Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) at Mount Desert Island Biological Laboratory (MDIBL). If you are a provider of a free, publicly available genomics tool, database or resource and would like to convey something to users on our guest post feature, please [...]
Today’s Tip of the Week is a short introduction to WAVe, or the Web Analysis of the Variome. The tool was recently introduced to us, and I’ve found it a welcome introduction to the tools available to the researcher to analyze human variation. This is apropos considering the recent paper we’ve been discussing on the clinical [...]
Reactome has long been one of our favorite resources for looking at pathways and interactions. The data quality is very high, and there are some very fun tools to use. In fact, they were one of the earliest tutorials we did years back (but of course we have updated since). If you aren’t already familiar [...]
Last night I had coffee with good friends in Davis Square and I mentioned that we had this blog. One of the friends (a linguistics scholar) seemed excited by the prospect until I told her the topic. She’s not nearly as excited by new software and scientific data as I am It cracked me up [...]
