Bioclues and Pine Biotech join forces to advance Bioinformatics in India

eliabrodsky — Fri, 14 Jun 2019 10:20:47 -0500

As a collaborative effort, the two organizations will help implement best practices in bioinformatics education across universities in Inida that have little to no experience in bioinformatics. The collaboration comes as Pine Biotech starts registrations for it's pilot program at Amity University in Kolkata, India.

R and Bioconductor Tutorial

Jitendra Narayan — Fri, 23 Aug 2013 08:23:59 -0500

This tutorial is intended to introduce users quickly to the basics of R, focusing on a few common tasks that biologists need to perform some basic analysis: load a table, plot some graphs, and perform some basic statistics. More extensive tutorials can be found on the project website and via bioconductor (not covered here).

You can add more tutorial links in comments if found new pages.

NGSymposium in Computational Biology

Mon, 09 Mar 2020 06:00:30 -0500

We have a great pleasure to invite you to the NGSymposium in Computational Biology to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the NGSchool Summer Schools. This international conference will make way for exchanging knowledge and experiences between experienced and early-stage researchers as well as bioinformaticians. The meeting will be held on 31.07 - 1.08.2020 in Warsaw. It will be a satellite event to the #NGSchool2020: Statistical Learning in Genomics. It will cover a wide range of topics from basic and applied biomedical sciences: bioinformatics, genomics, transcriptomics, computational biology, Machine Learning.

Registration of active participants will be open from February, 27 12 PM CET to April 17, 23:59 CET. In registration forms you will be asked for providing us with some basic information about yourself. You will also be able to submit your abstract. You can save your registration form after filling it partially and come back later to supply more data e.g. upload an abstract. Your registration will be completed only with the payment of the registration fee reaching our accounts - please make sure to transfer the money in advance!

Registration of passive participants will be open after closing of registration of active participants.

Genetics for Fun and Profit: Andrew Hessel at TEDxVilnius

Sun, 01 Sep 2013 19:15:06 -0500

Andrew Hessel co-chairs the Bioinformatics and Biotechnology track at the Singularity University, an institution founded by futurist Ray Kurzweil and X Prize Foundation CEO Peter Diamandis, with sponsorship from world-leading organizations that include Google, Autodesk, and NASA. He is also the founder of the Pink Army Cooperative, a venture aiming to make open source personalized cancer therapies. His work has been featured in The New York Times, Futurist Magazine, H+, and Wired News. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Huber Lab

Mon, 09 Sep 2013 21:57:03 -0500

The Huber group develops computational and statistical methods to design and analyse novel experimental approaches in genetics and cell biology.

Future projects and goals

Large-scale systematic maps of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions by automated phenotyping, using image analysis, machine learning, sparse model building and causal inference.
DNA-, RNA- and ChIP-Seq and their applications to gene expression regulation: statistical and computational foundations.
Cancer genomics, genomes as biomarkers, cancer phylogeny.
Image analysis for systems biology: measuring the dynamics of cell cycle and of cell migration of individual cells under normal conditions and many different perturbations (RNAi, drugs).
