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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
I’ve just recorded a quick screencast on how to install and use the BioBar toolbar for Firefox. This is a nice addition to the browser if you search any of the various online sequence/genome databases on a regular basis. You can download the BioBar here: http://biobar.mozdev.org and as you can see in the video its a quick [...]
Here’s a quick screencast on how to find the cytogenetic band data on UCSC. Its a rather large flash movie…
