A recurring challenge in interpreting genomic data is the assessment of results in the context of existing reference databases. Currently, there is no tool implementing automated, easy programmatic access to curated reference information stored in a diverse collection of large, ...

From March 11-13, 2019, the NCBI will help run a bioinformatics hackathon in the North Carolina Research Triangle hosted by the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (UNC). Potential topics include: technical metadata homogenization a simple interface for using ontologies ...

The analysis of transcriptome data from non-model organisms contributes to our understanding of diverse aspects of evolutionary biology, including developmental processes, speciation, adaptation, and extinction. Underlying this diversity is one shared feature, the generation of enormous amounts of...

RNA-Seq Viewer is a web application that enables users to visualize genome-wide expression data from NCBI’s Sequence Read Archive (SRA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. The application prototype was created by a small team during a three-day hackathon facilitated ...

From January 4th to 6th, NCBI will host a genomics hackathon focusing on advanced bioinformatics analysis of next generation sequencing data. This event is for students, postdocs and investigators already engaged in the use of pipelines for genomic analyses from ...
