Poonam Mahapatra — Sat, 10 Aug 2013 19:45:38 -0500

The International Systems Biology Conference is the annual series of conferences initiated by Hiroaki Kitano and the ISSB in Tokyo in 2000. The meetings are catalysts for international collaboration in systems biology and have recently been held in Copenhagen (2013), Toronto (2012) and Heidelberg/Mannheim (2011).

Next year (2014) events are schedules at Melbourne, Australia.

2.4 Mb Genome Size for World's Biggest Virus

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 08 Aug 2013 10:05:37 -0500

The genome size of new discovered Pandoraviruses have roughly twice the size of the record-holding Megavirus genomic code. Interestingly only 6 percent of its genes resembled the genes other organisms. It is assume that it may come from a different origin.

Prime Minister’s 100k Genome Project

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 08 Aug 2013 09:40:39 -0500

Genomics Ebgland is destined to sequence 100,000 patients over the next five year in England. A landmark project by british government.

Genomics England will play a key role in building on the UK’s long track record as leader in medical science advances to push the boundaries by unlocking the power of DNA data. The UK will become the first ever country to introduce this technology in its mainstream health system – leading the global race for better tests, better drugs and above all better, more personalised care.

100K Foodborne Pathogen Genome Project

Jitendra Narayan — Thu, 08 Aug 2013 09:33:36 -0500

The 100K Genome Project, led by the University of California, Davis, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, and Agilent Technologies, today announced that it has added 20 newly completed genome sequences of foodborne disease-causing microorganisms to its public database at the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

100K Genome Project, aims to sequence the genomes of 100,000 bacterial and viral genomes.

Chromatin: From nucleosomes to chromosomes, 30 April - 2 May 2014

Jitendra Narayan — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 08:39:37 -0500

EMBL-EBI announced the Wellcome Trust Scientific Conference Chromatin: From nucleosomes to chromosomes, which continues EMBL-EBI series of meetings focused on fundamental aspects of chromatin biology. The conference will focus on the latest developments in understanding chromatin structure and function, particularly gene expression and genome integrity.

This meeting will bring together the leading researchers in chromatin and chromosome structure, epigenetic gene regulation and chromosome fibre interactions to explore outstanding questions in the field and enable participants to identify new research opportunities and collaborations.

Further details will be available soon on the conference website: https://registration.hinxton.wellcome.ac.uk/display_info.asp?id=384

R package for visualising GO enrichment

Jit — Mon, 22 Jul 2013 12:25:09 -0500

An R package that visualizes the GO enrichment results as word clouds and arranges them together with figures of experimental data. This allows us to draw informative summary plots for analyses such as differential expression or clustering, where for each gene list we display its behaviour in the experiment alongside with its GO annotations.
