Occasionally we highly video tips and tutorials from other sites. Today I’d like to point to you MaizeGDB. Last year the folks at MaizeGDB highlighted their video tutorials in Database, As they state in their abstract: Video tutorials are an effective way for researchers to quickly learn how to use online tools offered by biological [...]
OpenHelix is founded on the premise and Mary made the point again recently on a guest post on Nature Blogs: SciVee – Making Science Visible. Do you RTFM? C’mon—tell the truth. When you approach some new software, do you read the freakin’ manual first? Yeah. Thought so. Not to worry, it’s a common phenotype. In [...]
NCBI was created in 1988 and has maintained the GenBank database for years. They also provide many computational resources and data retrieval systems for many types of biological data. As such they know all too well how quickly the data that biologists collect has changed and expanded. As uses for various data types have been [...]
If you go over to the OpenHelix home page, you’ll start to notice some differences. Our tutorial landing pages have an added new feature. We now have a section on each landing page that shows the most recent research in the BioMed Central journals. For example, the screenshot here is for our GeneMANIA tutorial suite. [...]
Bioinformatics analysis is a powerful technique applicable to a wide variety of fields, and the subject of many a blog post here at OpenHelix. I’ve had two particular bioinformatics articles on my desk for a couple of months now, waiting for me to be able to articulate my thoughts on them. They both offer great [...]
Brought to you by OpenHelix and BioMed Central . We really like the feature and idea (of course) and thought we’d pass it on. BioMed Central (BMC) is an open access publisher. BMC along with OpenHelix launched a new feature recently to give readers of BMC journals timely access to relevant genomic resource tutorials. When [...]
We usually don’t blog specifically about OpenHelix tutorial purchasing (we do that with press releases), it’s not the purpose of the blog, but I really wanted to give a quick heads up. Many of our tutorials are free to the end-user because the resource provider has funded the training and outreach. UCSC, ENCODE, PDB, VISTA, [...]
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 [...]
The OpenHelix tutorial suite is sure to help current and new users to get up to speed on our site and its new features, and therefore get their results more quickly to support their research. Bellevue, WA (PRWEB) August 11, 2010 The creators of GeneMANIA have contracted with OpenHelix to provide comprehensive online training for [...]
I’ve mentioned others’ widgets before. They can be very handy tools on websites and blogs to add content and useful interactive searches, etc. Well, we now have our own. As many of our readers know, we have a genomics and bioinformatics search engine that helps the researcher find the database or analysis tool that best [...]
