Modeling Advanced Materials and Systems Biology: Building Capabilities and Collaborations for Cyber-Enabled Discovery
September 20-22, 2010
The SC/TN EPSCoR Workshop will focus on cyberenabled scholarship and building
regional collaborations. It will be held at Clemson University's
Madren Conference Center starting on the evening of Monday, September 20
through the afternoon of Wednesday, September 22, 2010. Visit the
workshop page for more
information.
New Bioinformatics Tool Speeds Analysis of Transcriptomic Data
Researchers at the South Carolina INBRE Bioinformatics Core have developed a new web-based program, GeneMesh, for analysis of high throughput gene expression data (see article in BMC Bioinformatics at http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2105/11/166/abstract). GeneMesh, can accelerate discovery by identifying significant inter-relationships that exist between differentially expressed genes and information in the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) hierarchical index. Through the use of a robust set of action link features users can quickly see how genes associated with MeSH categories relate to biological processes, molecular functions, cellular components and signaling pathways. Through heatmap displays users can readily see how the genes in any given MeSH category or any related ontological category behave in response to the experimental stimuli used to generate the original differentially expressed gene data set. GeneMesh operates on data derived from the major commercial microarray platforms, including Affymetrix, Agilent and Illumina and is freely available online at http://proteogenomics.musc.edu/genemesh/.
The South Carolina Project
The South Carolina Project introduces its new
wiki.
This will broaden the communication of project accomplishments and bolster
collaboration among the greater biofabrication community. Also, you can
keep up-to-date with news and information by following the
South Carolina Project
on Twitter.

International Conference of Biofabrication
October 4-6, 2010 - Philadelphia, PA
The objective of this conference is to provide a broad communication venue for
multi-disciplinary scientists, researchers and industrial participants to
exchange and disseminate recent scientific discoveries, research, development
and emerging applications in the field of biofabrication, and to promote
international collaboration, as well as to explore new directions in research on
Biofabrication.
