Two workshops are being offered to introduce the primary molecular databases, PDB & MMDB, and will demonstrate the NCBI’s Cn3D software tool for viewing and manipulating structures.  One of the fastest growing areas of study in biology focuses on the molecular structures of molecules, especially proteins, and how structure relates to

One of the most widely-used tools in computational biology/bioinformatics is the NCBI’s Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST). BLAST allows rapid, easy sequence similarity searching online. However, use of BLAST is only truly effective when you understand what it does – and doesn’t do. This workshop will introduce how sequence

Reuven Pasternak, MD, Chief Executive Officer of Stony Brook University Hospital hosts his own blog to recognize and highlight achievements throughout the hospital and medical schools. These blog posts usually focus on the clinical departments and achievements within the hospital.  Today’s post however was unique in that it mentions the

There are a vast number of bioinformatics databases, software tools, and resources available on the web covering a wide range of biological data including genes, genomes, sequences, molecular structures, proteins, gene expression and genetic variation. This workshop will help you get started by identifying key ‘entrance’ points and search techniques

This workshop will provide a step-by-step structure for building a complex literature search with a focus on the health/medical literature. Topics include the effective use of Boolean Logic, controlled vocabularies, and database field searching.

One of the fastest growing areas of study in biology focuses on the molecular structures of molecules, especially proteins, and how structure relates to both sequence and function. This workshop will introduce the primary molecular databases, PDB & MMDB, and will demonstrate the NCBI’s Cn3D software tool for viewing and
