The Genomics and Bioinformatics Group.jpgDr. Weinstein presented a useful tool to use at today's TCGA meeting, called Splice Center.


VisitGenomics and Bioinformatics Group and look under tools at left, or use this link to Splice Center.

You can see the splice variants from GenBank and RefSeq, and see Affy probes superimposed. Links to NCBI allow you to look at the genes.

Another tool, GoMiner, is an interpretation tool for 'omics' data. You can upload gene IDs and look at gene ontologies. According to the website: "Addresses the question, "Now that I've done the gene expression experiment and identified a set of 'interesting' genes, what do those genes mean biologically?" GoMiner batch-processes and organizes lists of thousands or tens of thousands of genes and provides two fluent, robust visualizations of the genes in the framework of the Gene Ontology hierarchy. (Zeeberg, et al., Genome Biology 2003; 4:R28)".

Contact Dr. Weinstein if you would like to be referred to someone who can help.
