Video Tips of the Week: Annual Review IV (first half of 2011)

28 December, 2011 (08:24) | Tip of the Week | By: Mary

As you may know, we’ve been doing these video tips-of-the-week for FOUR years now. We have completed around 200 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 [...]

Why don’t users employ workflows for “big data”? I know why.

12 December, 2011 (10:40) | Genomics Research | By: Mary

Yesterday a tweet to a great post came across the ethers, and ever since I read it I knew I had to write this post. Here’s the original nugget: RT @ctitusbrown: (my) thoughts on data intensive science & workflows: http://bit.ly/tWXSnx It is a post about why end users are not adopting workflows which could really [...]

What’s the Answer? Alternatives to Galaxy

1 December, 2011 (09:52) | What's the Answer? | By: Trey

BioStar is a site for asking, answering and discussing bioinformatics questions. We are members of thecommunity 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 this thread. You [...]

Tip of the week: The Taverna Project for workflows

6 April, 2011 (09:10) | Genomics Research, Genomics Resource News, Tip of the Week | By: Mary

We’re on the road this week doing workshops, so I needed to have this tip prepared well ahead of time. To make it easy on myself, I’m going to simply point you to a recent informative webinar on Taverna, that was hosted by Bitesize Bio (and check out their other upcoming webinars). The image I [...]

Tip of the Week: BioCatalogue for finding web services

16 June, 2010 (08:45) | Genomics Research, Genomics Resource News, New Resource, Tip of the Week | By: Mary

A couple of years back at a conference I was introduced to BioCatalogue.  It seemed to me to be a really useful idea: locate bioinformatics tools and databases that are web-accessible, and that also have a mechanism to use the web service features to access the tool/server using strategies that don’t require the main web [...]

Tip of the Week: Acytelome, String and a new database

26 August, 2009 (00:21) | General Science, Genomics Resource News, New Resource, Tip of the Week | By: Trey

I recently read an article in Science entitled “Lysine Acetylation Targets Protein Complexes and Co-Regulates Major Cellular Functions” written by Choudhary et al. The research uses “high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify 3600 lysine acetylation sites on 1750 proteins” and “demonstrate[s] that the regulatory scope of lysine acetylation is broad and comparable with that of other [...]

Are you ready to create a workflow?

29 August, 2008 (01:37) | Genomics Research, New Resource | By: Mary

Yesterday I attended the final session of the ICSB conference that I could fit into my schedule: a session on web services in systems biology. (I would link to the description but the ICSB server is down while I write this…) There were several tools covered that I will address later (including one of our [...]
