GEN2PHEN WAVE

Update: WAVe is now live at http://bioinformatics.ua.pt/WAVe Web Analysis of Variome Experiments Web application to deal with variation information. Time to create mockups, define features and talk to the bosses in Leicester. Alternative titles Web Analysis, Assessment Variome, Variation Experiments

How to organize a clear keynote/presentation

In my work I have to make various presentations. Whether long and boring about a very detailed subject or smaller debate-launching ones.

After a few unclear years I have finally discovered the formula to organize a presentation that suits the majority of scenarios. And it’s simple…

PhD Thesis Proposal Keynote

The keynote is at 70% for wednesday demo. Some color doesn’t look bad in the slides… specially GEN2PHEN theme!

JB2009

Last week I have attended the Jornadas de Bioinformatica 2009 conference. Too much bio for my informatics knowledge, but it was very interesting. Search for: – Miguel Vásquez – José Maria González – UMI (Minho) – KDBIO (INESC Lisboa)

Medical Imaging Markup Viewer

Keynote for the Medical Imaging course of my doctoral programme Final application published at DETI Journal 2010. Open publication – Free publishing – More xml markup

GEN2PHEN Web2.0 Conference

Promote conference or workshop focused on Web2.0 and its integration in bioinformatics (User eXperience, usability, interface). It is important to explore this convergence. The idea is not an internation conference, but a closed workshop where specialists in biology and web applications can interact and exchange experiences.

Google Maps LSDB Locator

LSDB locator could use Google Maps API to generate a worldwide map about LSDB locations and display relevant information about the LSDBs. We could use myLSDB API to gather this information or use LSDB Locator inside myLSDB (as a feature, users could provide their location).

Google Maps Variation Viewer

Use Google Maps API to create a state-of-the-art visual variation viewer. We could use Google’s features to navigate through sequence variations and obtain more informations about a specific variation, based on the  navigational GPS metaphor: show nearby locations, monuments, similar variations…

myLSDB | myVar

myLSDB could become the first LSDB curators online community! We could use ideas from myExpriment (and traditional social  networks) to create a LSDB-related social network. Users could share information about their databases, the genes they have, experiment details, relevant scientific discoveries…

LSDB Connector

Create a “semi-manual” LSDB integration engine, using Arabella crawler to gather links and HGVS list as a base. Do some case-by-case work and convert to a pseudo-LRG format. Having the data mined and categorized would enable a search mechanism among variations: inclusion in GeneBrowsers as an API and the creation a simple variation search engine.
