These video tutorials highlight bioinformatics resources such as NCBI Entrez, BLAST, and the UCSC Genome Browser and focus on specific activities for conducting genomic research. BITS can be viewed at a user's own pace and own convenience. The first installment of BITS covers the UCSC Genome Browser, which contains reference sequences and working draft assemblies for a large collection of genomes. Users will learn how to retrieve DNA sequence, display and configure the annotation tracks, identify gene intron-exon boundaries, and use the BLAT tool. The BITS group encourages you to pass this new opportunity for learning on to your users. BITS are available here: MIT Engineering and Science Libraries http://libraries.mit.edu/video Harvard's Countway Library of Medicine: http://countway.harvard.edu/video_tutorials Questions?

This has been very helpful and will make for a good discussion, I hope. I am very much looking forward to getting the results in. However, if you have been away or just busy, you still have until the end of tomorrow, Wednesday 28 May, to do the survey. Please have your Ovid account open, as this will help with some of the questions (although there are screenshots on one page of the survey). http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=HwKCiNOPpO5qdcSqUg0Jrw_3d_3d Sorry for cross-posting this message.
