Today’s tip is from NCBI. Specifically, NCBI’s Genome Workbench. The workbench is …an integrated application for viewing and analyzing sequence data. With Genome Workbench, you can view data in publically available sequence databases at NCBI, and mix this data with your own private data. It’s a useful program and they have a great set [...]
PATRIC is a integration portal (as the name implies) of data concerning disease-causing infectious bacteria. Or to put it in their words: PATRIC is the Bacterial Bioinformatics Resource Center, an information system designed to support the biomedical research community’s work on bacterial infectious diseases via integration of vital pathogen information with rich data and analysis tools. [...]
Well, not that kind of galaxy (though visualizing those are quite nice), this kind of Galaxy. Galaxy is an excellent tool to analyze, reproduce and share genomics data and the Galaxy folks are always updating, improving and adding features to the tool. We have a tutorial for Galaxy to help you get started using this tool. As you [...]
Recently, the Broad Institute announced a new tool: GenomeSpace. When I first looked at it, admittedly a very cursory look, I wasn’t sure how it would be much different than an integrator of tools like Galaxy or GenePattern. Obviously that cursory look was wrong at first glance since both Galaxy and GenePattern are in their list of [...]
A couple years ago (yes, we’ve been doing tips for almost 3 years now!) I did a tip on CTD, introducing the database to new users. As I stated then, CTD: …is an excellent database to find information on chemical-gene-disease interactions. It is a manually curated database of chemical-gene interactions, chemical-disease and gene-disease associations. Well, [...]
I’ve mentioned this before, but as I am trying to get this weeks tip ready, I thought I’d remind our readers that we have a community over at Scivee (youtube for science : Genomics Resource Training. We post all our tips there now and we add videos from other users that train users about genomics [...]
Today’s tip of the week is actually the first in a series of tips I will be doing over the next couple months. The recent paper in Lancet did a clinical assessment of an individual genome. In doing so, the researchers used various genomic resources do ascertain and interpret the data. We have a free [...]
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 [...]
This tip of the week comes to you by way of the recent NAR Database issue article and a twitter from Francis Ouillette. The Gene-Oriented Orthology Database (or GOOD) is a relatively new database of orthologous regions found in four genomes (human, mouse, chimpanzee and cow) using gene regions (hence the name) instead of proteins to [...]
If you’ve been following this blog, you’ll know that every Wednesday, come rain, shine or travel, we post a tip of the week. 98% of the time that’s a short 3-5 minute screencast of some genomics database or resource we like or an aspect of one we think you might find useful*. We’ve been doing [...]
