Training slides on literature searching skills and tools. Part of biocurators training for the Postgraduate Certificate in Biocuration, developed by the University of Cambridge and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI).

Overview

Research literature contains a wealth of information that can be extracted at scale using text-mining technologies. To make text-mining data available to a wider group of researchers, the publications database, Europe PMC, provides access to millions of text-mined annotations, such as...

In the age of data‐driven science, discovering all the data associated with a study can be tricky. In this webinar, we will demonstrate how to locate primary data in a publication, find facts and evidence to support your hypothesis, and scan a paper for important biological concepts using tools...

Overview

Though text mining becomes more widespread in biology, an average researcher can rarely use it to their advantage. In this webinar, Europe PMC presents a tool to easily share annotated biological entities and relations with the research community. Europe PMC Annotation Submission...

Do you want to identify and prioritise new therapeutic targets? Are you looking for associations of your gene of interest with a specific disease? Do you work in the area of drug repurposing? Are you interested in disease biology? If you said yes to any of these questions, this webinar is for...

Researchers are often asked to maintain an up-to-date publication list, whether for job applications, tenure evaluations, or grant proposals. An easy way to do this is by using your ORCID iD and linking it to your published papers. An ORCID is a unique identifier - personalised number that is...

Following the latest developments in your scientific field requires thorough and frequent literature research. In this webinar, we will show how to find and access relevant scientific literature using Europe PMC, an open biomedical literature database, part of PubMed Central International. We...

EMBL-EBI presents this talk on an introduction to text mining and its applications in service provision. The 1st part of this talk focuses on what text mining is and some of the methods and available tools. The 2nd part looks at how to find articles on Europe PMC - a free literature resource for...

Bioinformaticians are routinely handling big data, including DNA, RNA, and protein sequence information. It’s time to treat biomedical literature as a dataset and extract valuable facts hidden in the millions of scientific papers. This webinar demonstrates how to access text-mined literature...

Europe PMC is an open repository, providing access to worldwide biomedical literature, including articles, books, patents, and clinical guidelines. More than 32 million abstracts (27 million from PubMed) and 4 million full-text articles can be freely accessed through Europe PMC in a single...

With Europe PMC, a free biomedical repository and partner in PubMed Central International, you can search worldwide, life-sciences literature, including articles, books, patents, and clinical guidelines. In this webinar, we will show how to use Europe PMC for effective literature research. We...

Esther Rheinbay (http://csb.mgh.harvard.edu/bradley_bernstein) talks about the current challenges of visualizing rapidly expanding epigenetic data and showcases some of the different tools which are available to researchers as part of the Integrative Genome Viewer...

Ting Wang (http://wang.wustl.edu/) addresses many of the challenges of navigating the complexity of genomic data and showcases the WashU Epigenome Browser that he is developing. The browser aims to give investigators maximum flexibility to explore and navigate the available genomic data in...

Jim Zheng (http://www.uthouston.edu/sbmi/faculty-and-staff/jim-zheng.htm) talks about the importance of understanding the 3D structure of genome and gives an introduction into Genome3D framework (http://www.genome3d.org/) which allows integration of multi-scale structural and genomic data within...

Paul Gardner (http://www.biol.canterbury.ac.nz/people/gardner.shtml) talks about the challenges of visualization of RNA Structures and Alignments in the context of Rfam database (http://rfam.sanger.ac.uk/), a collection of non-coding RNAs, structured cis-regulatory elements and self-splicing...

Gisela Storz (http://irp.nih.gov/pi/gisela-storz) talks about the reliability and co-relation of anti-sense RNA sequence data. Comparison of RNA seq data across different experiments and from various sources reveals some discrepancies and lack of overlap. While the majority of RNA seq data is...

Sean O'Donoghue (http://odonoghuelab.org) talks about molecular spatial data and the emerging issue of sequence-structure gap mainly due to experimental difficulties in obtaining reliable (or any) structure information for a given protein. In his talk, he also gives a brief demonstration of...

Thomas Ferrin (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/tef/) talks about visualization tools for interactive modeling of biological structures with an emphasis on Chimera (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/), an extensible molecular modeling software.This talk was presented at VIZBI 2013, an international...

Ian Sillitoe (http://orengogroup.info/) talks about the protein structure classification with particular emphasis on superfamily-centric taxonomy which is used in the CATH (http://www.cathdb.info/) database.This video was filmed and distributed with permission under a Creative Commons...

Martin Miller talks about visualization of proteome data with particular emphasis on modeling phosphorylation sites. He gives a brief introduction into different methods for the analysis of the single cell proteome from antibody-based methods to mass spectrometry and fluorescence tagging. With...

In this presentation David Goodsell reveals the beauty of science through his scientific and artistic endeavors. He explores the visual techniques which have been used to communicate the detail of the molecular biology world to different audiences.David Goodsell (http://bit.ly/DGoodsell) is an...
