Opportunity to learn about genome annotation and bio-curation
by Michael Charleston 10 Mar '17

10 Mar '17

Dear all, Bioinformatics users and researchers in Tasmania have a great opportunity to welcome an expert in genome annotation and bio-curation in the form of Dr Monica (Moni) Munoz-Torres from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. Dr Munoz-Torres’ home page: http://www.berkeleybop.org/people/monica-munoz-torres/ Google Scholar page: https://scholar.google.com.au/citations?hl=en&user=GaQVcBAAAAAJ&view_op=lis… and linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/monimunozto/ Dr Munoz-Torres is able to travel to Hobart to deliver two workshops on 10th/11th of July this year (a Monday and Tuesday) on Genome Annotation and Open Science Bio/curation. EMBL-ABR(whose Deputy Director, Vicky Schneider, is cc’d) is coordinating an Australian tour by Dr Munoz-Torres, which will cut costs considerably, but in order for us to afford to bring her here we will to raise some funds! Please can I get a very quick show of hands, of people who would with high probability (at least 80%) pay up to $100 for a two-day workshop? The more we can get, the lower will be the total cost. I estimate we need to raise around $1650 which means at least 16.5 people :) I need to know as soon as possible so we can grab this opportunity – do let me know if you’re seriously interested!

Doodle poll weirdness
by Michael Charleston 10 Jan '17

10 Jan '17

Hi all, Looks like if you're using Windows and Chrome then the poll is very unhelpful: no times or days are visible! Barbara Holland kindly discovered this strange behaviour which doesn't affect my Ubuntu + Firefox combination, and is also gone if she uses Firefox on her Windows machine; hence I advise that if it looks really broken, try a different browser.

Happy New Year!
by Michael Charleston 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Welcome to 2017, a number with numerous numerical niceties: * it's prime ☺ * the binary expansion is 1111110001 which is rather pretty (I guess 11111100000 was too) * it's 7e1 in hexadecimal * CRISPR<http://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/1/3/14093794/crispr-gene-editing…> -- ok so that's nothing to do with the number 2017. * More bioinformatics! -- again, nothing to do with the actual value 2017, but don't hold that against me. This year we promise more workshops, more seminars, more activities! What's on, I hear you ask (in my head)? * Fortnightly meetings with guest seminars! (Dob someone in now!) * Workshops on demand (just start demanding them) * DaSH's Research Bazaar<https://2017.resbaz.com/> * GAMe 2017: Galaxy Australasia Meeting, 3rd-9th February in Melbourne 3rd-9th February (link here<https://www.embl-abr.org.au/game2017/>) * Lorne Genome conference, 12-14 February in Lorne, Victoria (probably too late to get to these two but you never know) * If you can't get to these this year maybe put them in your diaries for *next* year. * COMBINE and ABACBS, 13-15 November in Adelaide (link here<http://www.abacbs.org/conference/>) * Australasian Evolution Society Annual Meeting * Phylomania #9 * These last two are to be coordinated; dates to be determined but late November / early December looking likely It's also a good time to work out when are good meeting times. We had alternate Thursdays 4-5pm, but perhaps that isn't a great time. So there's a Doodle Poll to help us decide..

p.s. DKD Tea information
by Michael Charleston 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

In case you didn't already see it, this is the relevant information: Dear researcher, Please come to the first of the Data, Knowledge and Decisions (DKD) Teas, from 2pm to 5pm on the afternoon of 3rd November, in the Function Room on level 4 of the Centenary building, Sandy Bay campus. This will be a fully catered networking and brainstorming event designed to engender research collaborations across both the DKD theme and the themes it supports. Activities are scheduled to go from 2-4pm, and we are catered for 3-5pm. To begin with there will be short talks from different Data, Knowledge and Decisions researchers in Humanities and Health, some brainstorming activities, then an opportunity to network ideas and discuss future research ideas to take forward. We realise you’re mostly likely horribly busy, so we would be very appreciative if you could spend this time for the Theme. Please let us know if you'll be available to come to this first DKD Tea; we'd love to see you. (It's even a good reason to get away from exam marking...) Space is limited to 40, but don't worry if you cannot make this one: there will be other DKD Teas coming soon to a campus near you! RSVP<https://goo.gl/forms/qPuBu7RZXeW3RABS2> for catering purposes' date (by COB 31 Oct 2016).

No meeting today
by Michael Charleston 27 Oct '16

27 Oct '16

Dear all, Just in case you're not quite upt to date with the even- or odd-ness of the week number, we're at a No-Bioinformatics-Meeting week this week. I'm chasing people to present a paper next week, though I will not be present as I have an engagement with one of my other hats on..

D'oh!

Dear all, Andrew Phipps has kindly and gently pointed out to me my appalling error, that Thursday is in fact a Public Holiday in Hobart for Show Day. So, no Bioinformatics. AGAIN. Stay tuned for the next exciting announcement!

Thursday Bioinformatics Blub: we need a paper!
by Michael Charleston 17 Oct '16

17 Oct '16

Dear all, For this week's bioinformatics club, I'm willing to go through a paper -- if you have one of interest, please suggest it! If not then I will have to choose something esoteric and scary with loads of maths. Not really. Anyone have anything they'd like me to talk about, or even better, to guide us through? Please let me know ASAP!
