BioGPS is a free extensible and customizable gene annotation portal, a complete resource for learning about gene and protein function.

It's neat to see how @mygeneinfo and @myvariantinfo were abstracted to create @biothingsapi SDK which can now be used to build other APIs. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

One challenge of unprecedented #openscience is ensuring F.A.I.R.ness. Here's how we addressed it for #COVID19 information. #FAIRdata outbreak.info/blog/outbreak-…
Learn more about the evolution of our tools from @BioGPS to @mygeneinfo, @variantinfo, the @biothingsapi #SDK and more.
The API for @DiseaseOutbreak (outbreak.info) was built using our #SDK. Learn more about our #SDK in our latest post: biothings.io/blog/building-a…
outbreak.info is a #COVID19 data and resource sharing site built using the @biothingsapi #SDK and the #CD2H Data Discovery Engine. Learn more about how these tools were used. sulab.org/2020/09/building-a…
Learn how you can become a #CitizenScientist & contribute to crowd-sourced data that's helping to solve some of our greatest biomedical challenges. Prof. @andrewsu will tell us all about it this Thursday at our next #FrontRow lecture. Register now: scrippsresearch.zoom.us/webi…
In case you're wondering what @andrewsu and @chunleiwu labs have been up to lately...
Part 1 of new blog series on how to build resource-sharing sites like outbreak.info using @biothingsapi and #CD2H Data Discovery Engine sulab.org/2020/09/building-a…

My lab has bioinformatics job openings for 2 projects -- Alzheimer's drug repurposing described 👇, and API/data interoperability using github.com/biothings/biothin…. Applicants for postdoc, staff scientist, & developer positions are welcome. Email for more, #URM encouraged to apply!
Truly a weird feeling, but I think I'm actually a bit ahead of schedule for an upcoming grant proposal submission. So as an experiment, I'm opening up my current draft for public comment. Topic: Drug repositioning for Alzheimer's Disease. Link: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
Our recent @eLife experience was awesome. The editor summarized the critique from individual reviews, and we addressed those. No moving goal posts, and the critique summary was published with our response. Great author experience -- I wish all journals did this
Disappointed on decision of revised manuscript. While previous concerns addressed, manuscript sent to a new reviewer, 5 more major points requiring new experiments. ‘We hope you will be able to address in full...” Anyone else receiving similar reviews?

This definitely sounds like many of our users!
Are you a biologist studying cancers with a slightly computational bent? Check out this collaboratively built resource by @GreeneScientist, @GreeneLab, @dhimmel, and more mygene.info/blog/cognoma

Our services are fast so that they can be used to power important research tools and projects. @Madprime's Genevieve Genome Report enables people to better investigate their genome. myvariant.info/blog/making-y…
Empowering people to make sense of their own genomic information is not as easy as it sounds. Fortunately projects like the Genevieve Genome Report is helping to bridge the gap. myvariant.info/blog/making-y…
Check it out -- some info about my project, "Genevieve Genome Report", on @OpenHumansOrg! (and I used @myvariantinfo to build it! 😄)

New resource, MARRVEL, by @julawang added as a plugin. Add it to your custom biogps gene report with @larsjuhljensen's TISSUES plugin and @PanDrugs_CNIO for a neat view of the clinical relevance, tissue distribution, and druggability of the gene.

Oooh, nice and intuitive--added it as a plugin. Check it out here: biogps.org/#goto=genereport&… xitter.cf/julawang/status/109466…
For my PhD, I am working on a website that helps researchers query a bunch of databases based on a gene and mutation of interest (for human or for 🐭🐟🐛🦟...) If you have 3 minutes, I would love some feedback on how to improve ease-of-use! marrvel.org Thank you!!
