It was called Atmosphere. Google showed their commitment to the cloud by running all the demos live over the Internet and most of the presentations were run live over the web using Google docs. Thanks to Rob Gray for ... http://www.scientifik.info/web/?p=58 http://www.scientifik.info/web/?p=56 [caption id="" align="alignleft" width="250" caption="Fourth Paradigm Book Cover"][/caption] In the book The Fourth Paradigm: Data-Intensive Scientific Discovery, different authors expands on the vision of pioneering computer scientist Jim Gray for a new, fourth paradigm of discovery based on data-intensive science and offers insights into how it can be fully realized. Increasingly, scientific ... http://www.scientifik.info/web/?p=39 [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="500" caption="A petabyte according to Mozy.com"][/caption] http://www.scientifik.info/web/?p=44 Recent disease networks studies have demonstrated that the integration of biological knowledge from several sources could lead to biomedical discovery. In this context, it is particularly attractive to connect the dots using the wealth of knowledge in the published literature. Biomedical literature contains high quality and high-confidence information on genes ... http://www.scientifik.info/web/?p=35 Yesterday I took part in the first Open source workshop in the Biomedical Research Center in Granada. It was a great event. About 100 researches attended, so we were quite surprised. These are the slides I used in my presentation. Free software and bioinformatics View more presentations from Alberto Labarga. (tags: bioinformatics) I talked ... http://www.scientifik.info/web/?p=30 A primary way that biologists interact with their data is through visualization systems, ranging from simple, stand-alone methods to complex, integrated software packages. However, the sheer volume and diversity of both data and of visualization systems presents an increasing challenge for biologists. The goal of this workshop is to bring together, ... http://www.scientifik.info/web/?p=26 The Elsevier Grand Challenge came to an end. An the winner is Reflect, a proposal from my ex-colleagues at EMBL, including my dear friend Evangelos, so congratulations to them. Reflect is very well conceived and perfectly implemented, people are already using it, so I think this was the main reason ... http://www.scientifik.info/web/?p=24 Queremos organizar una Jornada de intercambio de conocimiento sobre bioinformática para tratar de acercar a los distintos grupos de investigación y las empresas de Granada que utilizan o desarrollan software y herramientas bioinformáticas y explorar posibles sinergias entre los mismos. http://www.scientifik.info/web/?p=20 Next-generation DNA sequencing machines are generating an enormous amount of sequence data, placing unprecedented demands on traditional single-processor read mapping algorithms. CloudBurst is a new parallel read-mapping algorithm optimized for mapping next-generation sequence data to the human genome and other reference genomes, for use in a variety of biological analyses ... http://www.scientifik.info/web/?p=16
