	<description><![CDATA[<p>Researchers in Andhra Pradesh have developed a database to identify genes that are common in tumours to provide their colleagues with easy access to insights into the genetic alterations in cancer.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> The database, hosted at the Sri Venkateswara University (SVU) in Tirupati, will integrate information on cancer genes and markers with experimental data.<br /> &nbsp;<br /> The <a href="http://cgmd.in/" target="_blank">Cancer Gene Markers Database</a> (CGMD) is meant to help scientists better understand tumour genes and markers at a molecular level by combining data with literature on treatment regimen and recent advances in cancer therapy.<br /> <br /> The database is free to access, and already includes 309 genes and 206 markers that correspond to 40 different human cancers. Accompanying literature comes from databases such as the United States&rsquo; <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/" target="_blank">National Center for Biotechnology Information</a> and the <a href="http://www.genome.jp/kegg/" target="_blank">Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes</a>. It also includes experimental data from <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed" target="_blank">PubMed</a>.<br /> <br /> In a paper <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/srep12035" target="_blank">published</a> last month in <em>Nature Scientific Reports</em>, the researchers from SVU&rsquo;s department of animal biotechnology, describes the need for a database for different genes and markers along with their molecular characteristics and pathway associations.</p>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[A guide for complete R beginners :- Getting data into R]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>For a beginner this can be is the hardest part, it is also the most important to get right.</p><p>It is possible to create a vector by typing data directly into R using the combine function &lsquo;c&rsquo;</p><blockquote><p><strong>x </strong></p></blockquote><p>same as</p><blockquote><p><strong>x </strong></p></blockquote><p>creates the vector x with the numbers between 1 and 5.</p><p>You can see what is in an object at any time by typing its name;</p><blockquote><p><strong>x</strong></p></blockquote><p>will produce the output<strong> &lsquo;[1] 1 2 3 4 5&prime;</strong></p><p>Note that names need to be quoted</p><blockquote><p><strong>daysofweek </strong><strong>&larr; c(&lsquo;Monday&rsquo;, &lsquo;Tuesday&rsquo;, &lsquo;Wednesday&rsquo;, &lsquo;Thursday&rsquo;, &lsquo;Friday&rsquo;);</strong></p></blockquote><p>Usually however you want to input from a file. We have touched on the &lsquo;read.table&rsquo; function already.</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata </strong></p></blockquote><p>Now <strong>mydata</strong> is a data frame with multiple vectors</p><p>each vector can be identified by the default syntax</p><p>#if any of these are typed it will print to screen</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata$V1 mydata$V2 mydata$V3 </strong></p></blockquote><p>By default the function assumes certain things from the file</p><ul>
<li>The file is a plain text file (there are function to read excel files: <em>not covered here</em>)</li>
<li>columns are separated by any number of tabs or spaces</li>
<li>there is the same number of data points in each column</li>
<li>there is no header row (labels for the columns)</li>
<li>there is no column with names for the rows** [I&rsquo;ll explain].</li>
</ul><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If any of these are false, we need to tell that to the function</span></p><p>If it has a header column</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata <em>header=T also works</em></strong></p></blockquote><p>Note that there is a comma between different parts of the functions arguments</p><p>If there is one less column in the header row, then R assumes that the 1<sup>st</sup> column of data after the header are the row names</p><p>Now the vectors (columns) are identified by their name</p><p>#if any of these are typed it will print to screen</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata$A mydata$B mydata$C </strong></p></blockquote><p># Summary about the whole data frame</p><blockquote><p><strong>summary(mydata)</strong></p></blockquote><p># Summary information of column A</p><blockquote><p><strong>summary(mydata$A) </strong></p></blockquote><p>We can shortcut having to type the data frame each time by attaching it</p><blockquote><p><strong>attach(mydata)</strong></p></blockquote><p># summary of column B as &lsquo;mydata&rsquo; is attached</p><blockquote><p><strong>summary(B)</strong></p></blockquote><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Two other important options for </span><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">read.table</span></em></p><p>If is is separated only by tabs and has a header</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata </strong></p></blockquote><p>Really useful if you have spaces in the contents of some columns, so R does not mess up reading the columns . However if the columns or of an uneven length it will tell you.</p><p>If you know that the file has uneven columns</p><blockquote><p><strong>mydata </strong></p></blockquote><p>This causes R to fill empty spaces in a columns with &lsquo;NA&rsquo; .</p><p>The last two examples will still work with our file and give the same result as with only headers=T</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Graphs</span></p><p>to get an idea of what R is capable of type</p><blockquote><p><strong>demo(graphics)</strong></p></blockquote><p>steps through the examples, and the code is printed to the screen</p><p>We will work with simpler examples that have immediate use to biologists.</p><p>Remember to get more information about the options to a function type &lsquo;?function&rsquo;</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Histogram of A</span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span></p><blockquote><p><strong>hist(mydata$A)</strong></p></blockquote><p>If there was more data we could increase the number of vertical columns with the option, breaks=50 (or another relevant number).</p><blockquote><p><strong>boxplot(mydata)</strong></p></blockquote><p>We can get rid of the need to type the data frame each time by using the <strong>attach</strong> function</p><p># if not already done so</p><blockquote><p><strong>attach(mydata) </strong></p><p><strong>boxplot(mydata$A, mydata$B, name=c(&ldquo;Value A&rdquo;, &ldquo;Value B&rdquo;) , ylab=&ldquo;Count of Something&rdquo;)</strong></p></blockquote><p>same as</p><blockquote><p><strong>boxplot(A, B, name=c(&ldquo;Value A&rdquo;, &ldquo;Value B&rdquo;) , ylab=&ldquo;Count of Something&rdquo;)</strong></p></blockquote><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Scatter plot</span></p><p># if not already done so</p><blockquote><p><strong>attach(mydata) </strong></p><p><strong>plot(A,B) # or plot(mydata$A, mydata$B)</strong></p></blockquote><p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">SAVING an image</span></strong></p><p>Windows users (Rgui) RIGHT click on image and select which you want.</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">These instructions work for everyone.</span></p><p>You need to create a new device of the type of file you need, then send the data to that device</p><p>to save as a png file (easy to load into the likes of powerpoint, also great for web applications.</p><blockquote><p><strong>png(&lsquo;filename&rsquo;) </strong></p><p><strong>boxplot(A, B, name=c(&ldquo;Value A&rdquo;, &ldquo;Value B&rdquo;) , ylab=&ldquo;Count of Something&rdquo;)</strong></p></blockquote><p>or to save as a pdf</p><blockquote><p><strong>pdf(&lsquo;filename&rsquo;) </strong></p><p><strong>boxplot(A, B, name=c(&ldquo;Value A&rdquo;, &ldquo;Value B&rdquo;) , ylab=&ldquo;Count of Something&rdquo;)</strong></p></blockquote><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Note</span></p><ul>
<li>Nothing will appear on screen, the output is going to the file</li>
<li>Also it may not be saved immediately but will once the device (or R) is turned quit.</li>
</ul><p>To quit R type</p><p><strong>q() # </strong>If you save your session, next time you start R, you will have your data preloaded.</p><p>Or if you want to remain in R</p><blockquote><pre><strong>dev.off() #</strong>turns of the png (or pdf etc) device, thus forces the data to save</pre></blockquote>]]></description>

	<title><![CDATA[CrossMap]]></title>
	<description><![CDATA[<p>CrossMap is a program for convenient conversion of genome coordinates (or annotation files) between <em>different assemblies</em> (such as Human <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/2928/">hg18 (NCBI36)</a> &lt;&gt; <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/2758/">hg19 (GRCh37)</a>, Mouse <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/165668/">mm9 (MGSCv37)</a> &lt;&gt; <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/327618/">mm10 (GRCm38)</a>).</p>
<p>It supports most commonly used file formats including SAM/BAM, Wiggle/BigWig, BED, GFF/GTF, VCF.</p>
<p>CrossMap is designed to liftover genome coordinates between assemblies. It&rsquo;s <em>not</em> a program for aligning sequences to reference genome.</p>
<p>We <em>do not</em> recommend using CrossMap to convert genome coordinates between species.</p>
