Genestack has been working on a transcriptomics tool for the pharma/biotech market in collaboration with Boehringer Ingelheim. In short, it helps biologists interrogate and visualise expression data, at scale, without the support of a bioinformatician. This then allows bioinformaticians to concentrate on things that bring the most benefit to their work. And this is why I'm reaching out to Bioinformatics.org.
We are inviting industry and academic professionals to get 1-month free early access to this tool and help shape its development through user research. To take part, simply book a "User Chat" with a Genestack specialist here: goo.gl/TMh52V.
Or you can find out more about the tool here: genestack.com/prod[...]iner/.

Athens, Greece (during ECCB2018)
cpw2018.org
Submission deadline for abstracts has been extended until August 15. Travel awards available!
Digital and computational pathology are increasingly used to study biological processes and diseases as novel molecular probing and imaging techniques allow the measurement of single molecules in whole tissue sections. Resulting multi-gigapixel images can be viewed on a computer screen via dedicated software. However, automated analysis of such large-scale datasets is challenging and their combination with omics data is not trivial. This workshop wants to facilitate bridging opportunities between the bioinformatics and tissue image analysis communities.
This second edition is organized as a full-day workshop during ECCB 2018 (www.eccb18.org).
SCOPE
Computational pathology exists at the interphase between bioinformatics, machine learning, and digital pathology (microscopy). Submissions from all topics of interest are welcome (non-exhaustive list):
Machine learning and image analysis for quantification in digital pathology (in 2D & 3D), Novel approaches (e.g. spatial or graph-based methods) to extract high-level features (e.g. molecular networks or spatial expression patterns) from tissue images for systems pathology, Software development methodologies and tools to ease the exploitation of large tissue images and integration with omics data, Novel molecular imaging techniques on tissues (molecular pathology, next generation pathology) and their analysis challenges, e.g. in situ hybridization, mass spectrometry imaging of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues, mass cytometry, and other spectroscopy techniques (Raman, ...), ... Research applications on non-human model organisms
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
The following keynote speakers are confirmed to speak at the conference:
Thomas Fuchs, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center
Chakra Chennubhotla, University of Pittsburgh
Derek Magee, University of Leeds
SUBMISSIONS
The conference solicits oral talks, posters, and proceeding papers contributions of original work or work that was recently accepted or published in a peer-reviewed journal or at a high level international conference. In the latter case, the publication reference should be clearly mentioned, and the abstracts should be checked mainly for relevance, rather than receive a full review.
Conference proceedings will be published by the Journal of Pathology Informatics.
The program committee will decide which contributions are selected for an oral presentation, and which ones are presented during a poster session. For submission instructions, please refer to www.fourwav.es/cpw2018
KEY DATES
Submission deadline: August 15, 2018.
Conference: Sunday September 9, 2018.

This RNA-seq workshop is perfect for those interested to get more hands-on practice with bioinformatics or to kick-start a project that has been sitting on the shelf, waiting for the right time. In the workshop, participants will have the opportunity to review and start using the T-BioInfo Bioinformatics platform (t-bio.info).
The platform has dedicated sections to analyze Exome-Seq, RNA-Seq, Metagenomics and other "omics" data types. With a visual and intuitive interface that eliminates the need for coding, any clinician or biologist can prepare complex processing pipelines and deploy powerful machine learning algorithms to extract meaningful insights from large datasets. The approaches tested on this platform can be deployed independently and extended in a familiar environment like Excel or R for post-processing. Here is an example of the T-BioInfo platform in action:
The workshop will address the basics of using the platform for RNA-seq data processing and downstream analysis. We will review bioinformatics concepts relevant to high-throughput data like data processing, exploration, analysis and interpretation. We will primarily focus on RNA seq data like gene/isoform expression, but the same concepts can apply to other types of data.
After a demonstration of the T-BioInfo platform interface and review of methods in the supervised and unsupervised data mining sections, we will discuss free educational resources and our ongoing or planned pilots where students can gain practical experience and get involved in research opportunities. The platform is in public beta and has a research or educational account types available.

We will start from reading the data, processing it and all the way until saving the processed data. This training will walk through participants in writing programs that would help them solve their own problems.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Participants will work in a Unix environment.
- Participants will get a copy of all the scripts used in the class.
- Participants will also receive a cookbook style manual for all the hands-on exercises.
- After training support is also provided through exclusive members only forum.
