Genomics Virtual Laboratory: A Practical Bioinformatics Workbench for the Cloud

BACKGROUND Analyzing high throughput genomics data is a complex and compute intensive task, generally requiring numerous software tools and large reference data sets, tied together in successive stages of data transformation and visualisation. A computational platform enabling best practice genomics analysis ideally meets a number of requirements, including: a wide range of analysis and visuali...

Developmental bioinformatics: linking genetic data to virtual embryos.

This paper discusses current efforts to produce databases of gene expression for the major model embryos used in developmental biology. The efforts to build these resources were motivated by the need for immediate internet access to all types of research data, and the production of these databases is a major and new challenge for bioinformatics. Thus far bioinformatics has mainly been concerned...

Bioinformatics III: Structural Bioinformatics and Genome Analysis

Evolution, Bioinformatics and Evolutionary Bioinformatics Online

E volutionary Bioinformatics Online enjoyed a busy and productive fi rst year in 2005, capped off by being accepted by the Literature Selection and Technical Review Committee at the National Library of Medicine in the US, for inclusion in PubMed Central. This means that EBO will be indexed online in this internationally preeminent archive. A brief history. Evolutionary Bioinformatics Online was...

The Virtual Xenbase: transitioning an online bioinformatics resource to a private cloud

As a model organism database, Xenbase has been providing informatics and genomic data on Xenopus (Silurana) tropicalis and Xenopus laevis frogs for more than a decade. The Xenbase database contains curated, as well as community-contributed and automatically harvested literature, gene and genomic data. A GBrowse genome browser, a BLAST+ server and stock center support are available on the site. ...
