What is bioinformatics?
August 10th, 2011 by Ivan Karabaliev
What is bioinformatics? Where did it come from? What does it do and what is it used for? I decided to try to answer these questions as part of a series of blogs explaining how bioinformatics is applied in different life science sectors: plant and animal breeding, biofuels, drug discovery, cosmetics. This blog is the…
Grant awarded for Seabass genome
August 5th, 2011 by Richard Holland
Singapore's National Research Foundation announced this week that it was awarding a grant to a project entitled "Increasing Singapore’s Food Fish Production Through Aquaculture Genomics R&D" (Principal Investigator: Prof. Laszlo Orban, Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory (TLL)). A key aspect of this grant is to sequence and assemble the genome of the Asian Seabass, a fish that is…
Survey preliminary results
April 8th, 2011 by Richard Holland
At the Eagle Genomics Symposium on Tuesday, our Technical Director Will Spooner presented preliminary results from the survey we ran in parallel with the registration process. Will is going to post a full analysis on this blog soon, but for now here are the key points he picked out as important during his summary at…
Bioinformatics Symposium less than 3 weeks away
March 18th, 2011 by Richard Holland
You've probably read a lot about the Eagle Genomics symposium being held on 5th April at Babraham, on the subject of "Provisioning Bioinformatics for the Next Decade: Are we Prepared?". A very healthy sized audience has already registered but we're keen to get as many bioinformaticians together on the day as possible in order to…
Symposium Abstract #8 – Matt Wood
March 12th, 2011 by Richard Holland
This is the last of the abstracts for talks being given at the 1st Eagle Genomics Symposium, "Provisioning Bioinformatics for the Next Decade – are we prepared?".

Cloud Infrastructure (Infrastructure as a Service) – a common man’s supercomputer.
February 3rd, 2011 by Madhu Donepudi
The University of Texas at Austin who used supercomputer to study the role of transcription factor proteins in gene regulation makes me think about how many organisations in the the life sciences arena have access to this kind of computational resource for their studies. Only few universities and some large pharmaceutical companies I suppose. Often…
Eagle announces free bioinformatics audits
December 20th, 2010 by Richard Holland
Eagle Genomics is offering companies the chance to undertake a free audit of the bioinformatics used in their organisation. After the 1-hour meeting, Eagle will write a short report recommending ways to optimise the use of existing tools and suggesting areas in which extended use of bioinformatics tools might be of value. Companies wishing to…
What do Eagle pipelines do?
December 17th, 2010 by Richard Holland
Eagle Genomics can produce a vast array of genomic data analysis pipelines each tailored to your specific needs. Our pipeline design and construction service is as hands-on or as hands-off as you require – if you have a specific workflow in mind, we can code it, but if you have a general question you just…
Pistoia Sequence Services
October 27th, 2010 by Richard Holland
I’ve been meaning to post this interesting interview with Nick Lynch for quite some time, in which he explains in detail what the Pistoia Alliance is all about. He also gives an outline of the Pistoia Sequence Services project, for which a number of groups are currently building proof-of-concept systems to demonstrate the various ways…
