You may have read about the release of my raw personal exome data in a previous entry. Although users were not required to report back any finding derived from this data, my hope was that some of them would return with interesting…
Source: the Software Sustainability Institute News Feed. Posted by Simon Hettrick on Friday 4 December 2015 with edits by Manuel Corpas To secure funding for the next generation of computational research provision, UK’s Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is assembling evidence to present a persuasive case for […]
I repeatedly come across the same misinterpretation from funders again and again: how can you make money out of open source bioinformatics applications? This may sound obvious to bioinformaticians, but my experience is that this is not the case in biology-oriented circles and biologically driven proposals for funding. […]
Despite may Bio* being developed (BioPerl, BioJava, etc.), to date no coordinated Bio* community effort has been established for JavaScript. JavaScript is the language of choice for implementation of dynamic and interactive web applications. BioJS provides a catalogue of open source modules in JavaScript for Life Sciences. These […]
This week’s BMC Update, the official newsletter for BioMed Central has featured two of our recent works, the Crowdfunding Genome Project and the ‘How Not To be a Bioinformatician‘ article, published in BMC’s Source Code for Biology and Medicine journal. This is a huge achievement, given that BMC Update reaches a great […]
Have you ever wondered why some people have no reparation in sharing their genetic profiles? Why do they openly talk about something supposedly so private? I believe that no contradiction exists between wanting to protect one’s privacy yet sharing one’s genomic data with the world. I am more […]
Readers may have seen that a few previous entries in Manuel Corpas’ Blog have been dedicated to myKaryoView, a personal genome visualization free software. In this post I review some of the software that is currently available for analysis of personal genomes. These are all free third party […]
Following my previous post on the First Publicly Available Genome Via DAS I would like to present an open source software that Rafael Jimenez and myself have developed for visualization of genomic data. Here we have it configured to display 23andMe data as a test case. We call […]
I will be speaking at Open Tech 2010 in London (UK) on Friday 11 September 2010. My talk, entitled ‘Who Owns my Genome Data’, will be delivered at the Seminar Room (First Session, 10:30 a.m.). If you are planning to attend Open Tech 2010 this year, let me […]
Cloud computing is becoming a technology mature enough for its use in genome research experiments. The use of large datasets, its highly demanding algorithms and the need for sudden computational resources, make large-scale sequencing experiments an attractive test-case for cloud computing. So far I have seen cloud computing […]
