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 [...]
For today’s tip I am going to continue with the theme I started yesterday – obtaining swine flu information. There are many wonderful viral resources that are publicly available. I linked to NCBI’s Influenza Virus Resource in yesterdays post, and you can watch past tips that Trey has done tips on the Viral Bioinformatics Resource [...]
Well, as far as I can tell, read & do all the normal stuff for staying healthy (you know, all the stuff Mom used to say – wash your hands, drink plenty of liquids, eat right & get plenty of sleep.) I heard about swine flu as I woke up yesterday morning listening to NPR, [...]
Recently, we are learning a lot about the cold virus. The genomes of many have now been sequenced (that is a subscription-required Science report, you can read more about the report here). You can find more genomic information at the picornaviridae.com at the NCBI’s Entrez Genomes and some structural information at MMDB. (just a side [...]
Hey, say you’ve got a bacterial genome you just sequenced in your spare time (hey, the way technology is going, it’s not far off) and you need to do a quick and dirty annotation to get you started. Well, there are several tools out there to do that, predict genes, annotate regions, etc. I’d like [...]
