We are pleased to announce the 2012 SciPy Bioinformatics Workshop held in conjunction with SciPy 2012 this July in Austin, TX.
Python in biology is not dead yet... in fact, it's alive and well!
Remember just a few short years ago when BioPerl ruled the world? Just one minor paradigm shift* later and Python now has a commanding presence in bioinformatics. From Python bindings to common tools all the way to entire Python-based informatics platforms, Python is used everywhere** in modern bioinformatics.
If you use Python for bioinformatics or just want to learn more about how its being used, join us at the 2012 SciPy Bioinformatics Workshop. We will have speakers from both academia and industry showcasing how Python is enabling biologists to effectively work with large, complex data sets.
The workshop will be held the evening of July 19 from 5-6:30.
More information about SciPy is available on the conference site:

!! Participate !!
Are you using Python in bioinformatics? We'd love to have you share your story. We are looking for 3-4 speakers to share their experiences using Python for bioinformatics.
Please contact Chris Mueller at chris.mueller [at] lab7.io and Ray Roberts at rroberts [at] enthought.com to volunteer. Please include a brief description or link to a paper/topic which you would like to discuss. Presentations will last for 15 minutes each and will be followed by a panel Q&A.

Amplicon sequencing is a targeted approach that allows researchers to investigate specific regions of the genome. This technique is routinely used in applications such as variant identification, clinical research, and infectious disease surveillance. The amplicon sequencing process begins by designing primers that flank the regions of interest. The DNA sequences are then amplified through PCR (typically multiplex PCR) to produce amplicons complementary to the targets. RNA targets...03-21-2023, 01:49 PM -
Targeted sequencing is an effective way to sequence and analyze specific genomic regions of interest. This method enables researchers to focus their efforts on their desired targets, as opposed to other methods like whole genome sequencing that involve the sequencing of total DNA. Utilizing targeted sequencing is an attractive option for many researchers because it is often faster, more cost-effective, and only generates applicable data. While there are many approaches...03-10-2023, 05:31 AM
