IAP 2012 Activity


BIOBASE Knowledge Library and Explain Analysis System Training
Courtney Crummett
Thu Jan 26, 11am-01:30pm, 14N-132 DIRC

Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 20 participants.
Single session event

Interested in finding out what's known in the scientific literature about a particular gene, disease or drug? Want to apply that information to high-throughput data analysis? Learn to search the BIOBASE Knowledge Library (BKL) by topic or multi-gene data sets. Interested in human inherited diseases and their associated mutations? Learn to use the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD), a comprehensive database on human germ-line mutations associated with disease, to determine whether an identified gene lesion is novel, search for known mutations within a given gene, or search for a type of gene mutation within a chromosomal location. In addition, see a demonstration of how Genome Trax, a new offering from BIOBASE not yet subscribed to by MIT Libraries, makes it easy to map human variations identified through NGS applications to biologically relevant sequence features such as HGMD mutations, known transcription factor binding sites and more. Registration is required and lunch will be provided! Register here: http://libraries.mit.edu/sites/events/biobase-training-8/131/
