Selecting Polymorphic SNPs with RGD’s SNPlotyper tools»I created a quick video tour of RGD’s SNPlotyper tool demonstrating how to use SNPlotyper to visualize and compare SNPs between sets of inbred rat strains. In this screencast I show how to configure the tool to select a region of chromosome 1 between 120Mb and 130Mb and then view SNP genotypes for F344 and [...]

Google Notebook and Reader: two useful tools for biomedical scientists»Following on from the presentation a few days ago I’ve created a quick screencast on SciVee showing how to use Google’s Notebook and Reader to manage information online. I use the example of SATB1, a gene that was recently published in Nature as being a ‘master regulator’ involved in the progression of breast cancer. When [...]
