Subject: [OBF] BOSC 2006 2nd Call for Papers

2nd CALL FOR SPEAKERS

This is the second and last official call for speakers to submit their abstracts to speak at BOSC 2006 in Fortaleza, Brasil. In order to be considered as a potential speaker, an abstract must be recieved by Monday, June 5th, 2006. We look forward to a great conference this year. Please consult The Official BOSC 2006 Website at:

http://www.open-bio.org/wiki/BOSC_2006

for more details and information.

In addition, a BOSC weblog has been setup to make it easier to desiminate all BOSC related announcements:

A unique electronic infrastructure project funded by the European Union is launched today

Today the European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s [EMBL] European Bioinformatics Institute [EBI], the Swiss Institute for Bioinformatics [SIB], the University of Cologne, Germany, and the European Patent Office launch FELICS [Free European Life-science Information and Computational Services]. The new project, coordinated by the EBI, will give researchers unrestricted access to some of the world’s most important biological databases. The Commission of the European Union has awarded 16.7 million Euro under the Research Infrastructures action of the sixth Framework Programme [FP6] for the project to develop, enhance and interlink many of the most important data resources in Europe and widen their accessibility to the scientific community worldwide. This is the largest ever European award for computational infrastructures needed to support biological research…

EMBL Press Release: Free access to world-class biological databases for European science thanks to FELICS

EMBOSS, the European Molecular Biology Open Software Suite, has received new funding from the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) in the United Kingdom that ensures its survival as an open-source utility, at least for the next three years.

The fate of the EMBOSS project had been in doubt for the past two years, following the closure last summer of the Rosalind Franklin Centre for Genomics Research (RFCGR), which had hosted the project…

Bio-IT World: New Funding for EMBOSS Bioinformatics Tools

Biotechnology is one of the fastest growing fields today. A study of biotechnology gives you an entry into a very exclusive and exciting field which encompasses not only subjects like biology, physics, chemistry, but also mathematics and engineering, and has application in every aspect of daily life. Whether it is fighting disease, developing new seeds, or tackling pollution, biotechnology’s use and application ranges from fields like agriculture to industry (food, pharmaceutical, chemical, bioproducts, textiles etc.), medicine, nutrition, environmental conservation, animal sciences etc. making it one of the fastest growing fields. It is both a cutting edge technology and an application science and analysts have predicted that biotechnology will be one of the most important applied sciences of the 21st century…

The Tribune India: Bioinformatics a well-informed choice

Background

The high-density oligonucleotide microarray (GeneChip) is an important tool for molecular biological research aiming at large-scale detection of small nucleotide polymorphisms in DNA and genome-wide analysis of mRNA concentrations. Local array data management solutions are instrumental for efficient processing of the results and for subsequent uploading of data and annotations to a global certified data repository at the EBI (ArrayExpress) or the NCBI (GeneOmnibus). Description: To facilitate and accelerate annotation of high-throughput expression profiling experiments, the Microarray Information Management and Annotation System (MIMAS) was developed. The system is fully compliant with the Minimal Information About a Microarray Experiment (MIAME) convention. MIMAS provides life scientists with a highly flexible and focused GeneChip data storage and annotation platform essential for subsequent analysis and interpretation of experimental results with clustering and mining tools. The system software can be downloaded for academic use upon request.

Conclusion

MIMAS implements a novel concept for nation-wide GeneChip data management whereby a network of facilities is centered on one data node directly connected to the European certified public microarray data repository located at the EBI. The solution proposed may serve as a prototype approach to array data management between research institutes organized in a consortium.

Metabolic networks come in just four basic types, according to a bioinformatics study in this week’s Science, which also shows that oxygen is required for the largest and most complex networks. The enzymatic reactions that take place in oxygen-dependent networks evolved after molecular oxygen appeared on Earth around 2.2 billion years ago, and some of these adaptations may have been important in a subsequent explosion of multicellular life, according to the authors…
