"Genomic Data Resources: Challenges and Promises" Published in Nature Education
Authors Warren Lathe, Donna Karolchik and other members of OpenHelix give an introduction to online, publicly available genomics resources at www.nature.com/scitable.
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) February 11, 2009 -- OpenHelix today announced the publishing of an article introducing and exploring the many online genomics resources available to the public. With over 3,000 genomic resources, tools and databases available on the web, and more being added rapidly, the article also explores the various issues concerning the growth of these tools, their number, and the sheer size of the data available.
The article is published by Nature Publishing Group's Nature Education division on their new Scitable portal. Scitable is an open online teaching and learning portal that publishes high-quality educational articles and combines community features to fuel the exchanges of scientific insights, teaching practices and study resources.
"The success of future medical research is directly reliant on researchers being able to find and use the overwhelming genomics data now present and becoming available on the web," explained lead author Warren Lathe, Chief Scientific Officer at OpenHelix. "In this article we give a stepping-in point for those seeking to better understand the data and the resources used to present it to the scientific community."
Additionally, readers can find out more about these resources and access online tutorials, exercises, slides, Quick reference Cards and other training materials at www.openhelix.com. Many tutorials are sponsored by the resource providers themselves and are therefore free to the user. Over 60 tutorials are also available through a cost-effective subscription to individuals, groups or institutions.
