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). Best wishes, Mike, Anya, Chris and Natalia Co-directors, Data, Knowledge and Decisions -- Michael Charleston Associate Professor in Bioinformatics School of Physical Sciences University of Tasmania AUSTRALIA phone: +61 3 6226 2444 University of Tasmania Electronic Communications Policy (December, 2014).

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!

FW: High profile seminar - Monday 12-1 pm
by Dorothy Steane 29 Sep '16

29 Sep '16

Hi everyone, In case any of you haven't already received this email from Erik, I urge you to go and listen to Jenny Graves on Monday, if you possibly can. She always speaks well and is an inspiration for everyone ... but especially women in science (god knows how she managed such a brilliant career, with kids and everything! She once said that you have to work bloody hard for 10 years per kid ... i.e., if you have four kids you have to work bloody hard for forty years!). She has been doing molecular genetics forever, since the days when we thought a restriction digest was pretty damn cool and PCR hadn't been invented ... and she's still going strong! Cheers, Dot. From: Biological Sciences Sent: Thursday, 29 September 2016 12:10 PM Subject: High profile seminar - Monday 12-1 pm Hi all On Monday, we are privileged to have a seminar by Distinguished Professor Jenny Marshall Graves AO, FAA from Latrobe University. Her talk will be at 12 pm in Lecture Theatre 2. The title is "Sex, genes and human evolution" (see attached abstract). Professor Graves has a multitude of title, Distinguished Professor at Latrobe, Professor Emeritus, ANU; Thinker in Residence, University of Canberra and , Professorial Fellow at the University of Melbourne, Fellow of the Australian Academy of Sciences and for good measure, Order of Australia. She has published seminal Nature and Science papers (with a H-Index of 55). Her >20 papers in Nature and Science include key work on Devils, Platypus, Humans, and to make it even more special, reptiles. See further details below Please spread the word around your network. Erik Brief Bio (from her website: http://www.latrobe.edu.au/she/staff/profile?uname=jgraves) Jenny Graves made seminal contributions to the understanding of mammalian genome organization and evolution, exploiting the genetic diversity of Australia's unique animals as a source of genetic variation to study highly conserved genetic structures and processes. Her studies of the chromosomes and genes of kangaroos and platypus, devils (Tasmanian) and dragons (lizards) has shed light on the organisation, function and evolution of mammalian genomes, and led to influential new theories of the origin and evolution of human sex chromosomes and sex determining genes. She is (in)famous for her prediction that the human Y chromosome is disappearing. She made critical discoveries that the epigenetic silencing of mammalian X chromosomes occurred by transcriptional inhibition, and is mediated by DNA methylation. Jenny has been involved in international comparative gene mapping and sequencing projects since the mid-1980s, promulgating the value of comparative genomics and the special value of including distantly related species. She initiated projects to sequence the genomes of marsupials and the platypus, and was Foundation Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Kangaroo Genomics. Jenny received a BSc Hons and MSc from the University of Adelaide for work on the epigenetic silencing of one X chromosome in female marsupials. She then used a Fulbright Travel Grant to do a PhD in molecular biology at the University of California, Berkeley, which she received in 1971 for her work on the control of DNA synthesis in mammalian cells. In 1971, she returned to Australia as a lecturer in Genetics at La Trobe University, becoming a Professor in 1991. In 2001 she moved to the Research School of Biological Sciences, Australian National University as head of the Comparative Genomics Research Unit and Director of the ARC Centre for Excellence in Kangaroo Genomics. She has recently returned to Melbourne as Distinguished Professor at La Trobe University, but also holds honorary positions at ANU, the University of Canberra and the University of Melbourne. Jenny has published more than 420 scientific works, including 4 books. She was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science in 1999 and served on the Academy Executive, first as Foreign Secretary, then as Secretary for Education. She is 2006 L'Oreal-UNESCO Laureate, and has received many awards for her work, including the MacFarlane Burnet Medal for research in biology, and an AO.
