I am a student preparing a business case on the viability of a proteomics data management tool. I have created a very brief survey to learn more about the needs of the community and the labs that may potentially use such a tool. It will be of immense help if you could take 1 minute to complete the survey. Your answers will be completely anonymous and will be used to study the general trend in the community. Thank you for your help and assistance.
You can access the survey here: http://bit.ly/11eXKt

Embnet.News 15:2 is out and available for download at http://www.embnet.org/.
The newsletter is here again, making available reports and reviews, announcing events, etc. In this issue, 6 of the ESFRI (European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures) projects in the Life Sciences present themselves. Research infrastructures are important for the development of Science, and at this time, ESFRI is presenting final proposals to the European Commission.
You are more than welcome to contribute to the next issue of this publication.

ACGTuate (pronounced "actuate") is introducing a new web based pipeline (or workflow) builder that allows biologists and other non-programmers to construct bioinformatics pipelines, harness bioinformatics databases and computational web services from around the world, and roll them into one web based tool. It runs in a web browser but looks and feels like a desktop application (Microsoft Silverlight plugin required). ACGTuate is only available as an online service, with both free and paid subscriptions.

This is to announce that a stable version of I, Librarian, a free application to build web-based library of scientific PDF articles is available for download.
I, Librarian is a feature-rich application that can be used to:
- Build either personal or shared (laboratory, departmental) PDF library
- Store up to a 100,000 fully annotated PDF files
- Batch upload all your existing PDF collection (works well with PubMed stored literature only)
- Perform diacritics-neutral searches for words and phrases in reference data
- Search for words in PDF full text
- Search and seamlessly import data from PubMed, PubMed Central, NASA ADS, arXiv, and HighWire Press
- Seamlessly record metadata from PubMed, NASA ADS, arXiv and CrossRef, if PDF contains a DOI or an arXiv ID
- Import references from various files, including Endnote, ISI Web of Science, and RIS files from more than a dozen supported web services (Science Direct, Scopus, JSTOR, IEEE Xplore, and more...)
- Store attached files, like supplementary data or full resolution figures
- Attach personal notes
- Access all stored data and PDF files through WWW
- Export records into RIS, Endnote, BibTex, CSV and plain text files
- Organize your PDFs into multiple categories
- Create multiple collaborative projects
- Create collaborative groups for a project and discuss your progress using the built-in chat
- And more
I, Librarian is a cross-platform application written in PHP, which requires a web server and PHP5 interpreter with built-in SQLite database. Windows installer containing all prerequisites is available.

The National Biomedical Computation Resource (NBCR) is pleased to present its 4th annual Summer Institute. The training program provides an overview of cyberinfrastructure for personalized medicine, and includes a computational seminar series and hands-on training sessions on the tools essential for cutting edge biomedical research and development of personalized medicine. NBCR's goal in offering this Summer Institute is to broaden the impact of these tools with transparent access to cyberinfrastructure and work closely with the biomedical community in future developments, while offering significant opportunities for networking among researchers and participants.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Scholarship application: June 30, 2009
Scholarship notification: July 3, 2009
Local participants deadline: July 31, 2009
Out of town participants: July 17, 2009
Training Sessions and Computational Seminar Series: August 3-7, 2009

inGAP (Integrated Next-gen Genome Analysis Platform) is an integrated platform for next-generation sequencing projects, the core function of which is to detect SNPs and indels using a Bayesian algorithm.
FEATURES:
- No read length restriction
- Can detect most small indels in either single-end or paired-end data sets
- Has a strong capability to identify variants based on a relatively divergent reference genome
- Provides a user-friendly graphic interface
- Can be used to detect intraspecific polymorphisms (including SNPs and indels) based on a pairwise comparison of multiple whole genomes
- Employs a global heuristic searching approach to layout contigs based on one or more reference genomes
- Also provides a handful of bioinformatic tools for read simulation, mutation incorporation, format conversion, etc.

DNALinux Virtual Desktop Py4Bio is ready!. This edition is called Py4Bio because is the Linux distribution included in the book Python for Bioinformatics (http://www.tinyurl.com/biopython). Including a Virtual Machine in a book allows the reader to have the same environment used by the author so he could focus on following the examples with confidence.
This release is based on the last Xubuntu "stable" or "LTS" version (8.04). It has all the programs in Xubuntu plus both desktop and server bioinformatics applications. As a server DNALinux includes BLAST, Primer3Plus and MySQL. Full list of pre-installed bioinformatics software is available here: [link].
Since this distribution is a 12Gb VMWare Virtual Machine, it is compressed with 7z (to 2.3Gb) and uploaded using bittorrent protocol. Torrent file is available from the download page: http://www.dnalinux.com/download.php. Please seed the image if you can.
