EGAN (Exploratory Gene Association Networks) is a software tool that allows a domain expert (a biologist) to visualize and interpret the results of high-throughput exploratory assays in an interactive hypergraph of entities (genes), relationships (protein-protein interactions, literature co-occurence, etc.) and meta-data (annotation, signaling pathways, etc.).
AN INTRODUCTION TO HAPMAP
THE INTERNATIONAL HAPMAP PROJECT:
The HapMap is a catalog of common genetic variants that occur in human beings. It describes what these variants are, where they occur in our DNA, and how they are distributed among people within populations and among populations in different parts of the world.
Python for Biologists
Python can be used to solve several problems that research laboratories face almost everyday. Data manipulation, biological data retrieval and parsing, automation, and simulation of biological problems are some of the tasks that can be performed in an effective way with computers and a suitable programming language.
