As part of our grant with the National Center for Biomedical Ontology we are producing a number of educational videos/screencasts to help introduce ontologies to the broader scientific community. The basic idea behind these videos is that ontologies are really powerful but most of our wet lab colleagues are put off by the complexity and [...]
We just got news earlier this week that our paper describing ViPDAC, a cloud computing analysis environment for proteomics analysis, was accepted for publication in the Journal of Proteome Research.
Here’s the link to the abstract and preprint version at J. Proteome Research.
Some coverage picked up from the MCW press release:

It looks like I’ll get a chance to talk about our work with the National Center for Biomedical Ontology (NCBO) at the upcoming 3rd International BioCurator meeting in Berlin. Our abstract was selected as one of the talks in the ‘Standards and Controlled Vocabularies and Ontologies’ session. Here’s a link to the full schedule: http://projects.eml.org/sdbv/events/BiocurationMeeting/schedule.html

As part of Nature’s general feature on the challenges of dealing with Big Data in modern scientific research there was an article published covering Biocuration and its associated challenges. Coming in part from the various Biocurator and International Biocurator meetings originally started from a grant awarded to Sue Rhee and Simon Twigger, this paper outlines [...]
Aron Geurts, Howard Jacob and I just release a quick interview/videocast via SciVee describing the sleeping beauty knockout process for the rat. In the video Howard talks a little about the PGA and what it offers and then Aron goes into more detail on the sleeping beauty knockout process and how he plans to use [...]
