VISTA has added a couple of new features to their great comparative genomics resource, dot plots and synteny browser. They are excellent features and additions, but they are not yet easy to find from the homepage. Today’s tip I’m going to show you where they are and take a quick look at what they do. [...]
As you may know, we’ve been doing tips-of-the-week for three years now. We have completed around 150 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 it’s a great way [...]
LBL servers are down today. If you’ve been trying to use VISTA (the comparative genomics tools) , you will get a “server not found” error. We’ve contacted someone over there and were informed they were having hardware issues. The site will be available within a day or so. In the meant time, you can view [...]
At the recent (and excellent) Beyond the Genome 2010 conference, Len Pennachio gave a talk about the VISTA Enhancer Browser that reminded me how much I have always liked this project. It’s the kind of project I’d do if I had a lab: it takes the computational data we’ve been accumulating + developmental biology bench [...]
Sorry for the sparseness of late. We were all over the place doing UCSC Genome Browser (we do intro + advanced), ENCODE, and Galaxy workshops. At NIH we also did IMG and VISTA (Man, that security at NIH is fierce….). Trey is still on the road, in fact, doing the training in Morocco. Ok, you [...]
Free Tutorial Suite available from OpenHelix on the VISTA bioinformatics resource. Bainbridge Island, WA (PRWEB) March 1, 2010 — The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) announces an updated, free OpenHelixTM tutorial suite on the VISTA bioinformatics resources (http://genome.lbl.gov/vista). VISTA’s focus is comparative genomics, providing a comprehensive suite of programs and databases for biomedical researchers. VISTA includes [...]
Our first guest post in our new semi-regular Guest Post series is from Inna Dubchak , principal investigator at the LBNL/JGI group, developers of the VISTA comparative genomics resource (who sponsors a tutorial, free to the users). If you are a provider of a free, publicly available genomics tool, database or resource and would like [...]
Greetings! OpenHelix Blog is instituting a new semi-weekly feature. Every Wednesday we have our “Tip of the Week,” on Thursdays we have our “What’s Your Problem,” and now on an occasional Tuesdays we are going to have our “Provider Guest Post.” These will be posts from providers of genomics tools and database and will be [...]
The VISTA comparative genome analysis resource updated their interface a few months ago. Additionally, they’ve added VISTA-Point (which replaces and greatly extends VISTA text browser) which, as the site says, allows the user to: Access complete data and visual presentation of pairwise and multiple alignments of whole genome assemblies. The homepage has undergone a very [...]
So I’m all excited about the genome festival that I’m seeing, related to the publication of the new sequence version of corn. You can access the main paper in Science, and there’s a very neat diagram in figure 1 that is like looking across time at the sequence data and into the corn nebula. But [...]
