DataScience@NIH New This Week: Studying Systems Biology by Cellular Perturbations – The BD2K-LINCS Data Coordination and Integration Center (DCIC) and the University of Miami will host the third annual BD2K-LINCS Data Science Symposium (DSS 2018) on January 31 – February 2, 2018. This symposium brings together experts in systems biology, data science, drug discovery and translational medicine from academia, industry and government to present their latest research and exchange new ideas in data-driven biomedical research. Georgetown University will hold a Biomedical Big Data Resources and Analysis Tools Training Workshop November 3-4, 2017. This two-day, in-person workshop for academic faculty at any level, will cover major concepts, methods, and tools of translational bioinformatics. It will feature hands-on computer based exercises using web-based bioinformatics resources. Workshop registration and information. New RNA-Seq Data Resource Now Available. BD2K-grantee, Dr. Avi Ma'ayan, and colleagues, recently developed all RNA-seq and ChIP-seq sample and signature search (ARCHS4), a web resource that makes the majority of previously published RNA-seq data from human and mouse freely available at the gene count level. ARCHS4 is freely accessible from: http://amp.pharm.mssm.edu/ Reminders You May Need Data Science Opportunities: NIAID is offering an exciting fellowship opportunity in data science for recent graduates (past 5 years) who are interested in acquiring a unique training experience involving rotations throughout the Institute to either intramural or extramural programs engaged in data-intensive science. Please see the following link for more information: https://www. The NIH Data Science Mentoring program is now accepting applications from NIH-affiliated individuals interested in participating in the program as either a mentor or a learner. Skills in the area broadly defined as data science, like programming in languages like R and Python, machine learning, and data visualization, are increasingly important in many areas of biomedical research. This program provides an opportunity for mentors with experience in these areas to help learners acquire the skills they need. We suggest mentors and learners meet for up to one hour every other week at a place and time convenient to both of them, but mentoring pairs can establish a mutually-agreed-upon approach that works best for them. There is no required ongoing commitment; either mentor or learner can opt out at any time. Mentors and learners will receive a guidelines document to help them make the most of the mentoring experience and the program committee welcomes questions and feedback. The program committee will make an effort to pair everyone who applies, but because we typically receive more applications from learners than from mentors, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to pair every learner with a mentor at this time. To sign up as either a mentor or a learner, please complete the form at https://goo.gl/forms/ The BD2K Training Coordinating Center has been creating and populating the Educational Resource Discovery Index (ERuDIte), a database of 10,000+ data science educational resources from collective BD2K activities and from around the web.
The bioCADDIE DDICC Core Team is pleased to announce the release of DataMed v3.0! DataMed is designed to be for data what PubMed has been for scientific literature. This version of the Data Discovery Index (DDI) prototype includes many additional datasets and reflects considerable user/stakeholder input. The user interface has also been updated to reflect this input.
Data Science Events: DC DATACON: A focus on the applied tools, technologies, and methodologies that make data science work. Join the conversation! Data Community DC is proud to partner with George Washington University on Tuesday, October 3, 2017, to bring together nearly 1,000 stakeholders in the data community of the National Capital Region. Are you part of the data science community in the Mid-Atlantic Region? Commercial, government, academia, research, and nonprofit—come gather with your community and be a part of charting the path ahead. Join us to participate in a robust agenda of highly relevant speakers and presenters. DC DATACON seeks to inspire conversation as the Mid-Atlantic region lays the groundwork for the direction data science will take in years to come. At this inaugural DC DATACON, we aim to explore topics that focus on the things that we need to do to make sure our work as data scientists has a real, tangible impact including organization, design, and technology. We will drive conversations about getting data science out of the lab and into the enterprise so we can finally begin using data as a strategic asset. Looking into our special concentration of public and private sector organizations, this region is ripe with qualified people to engage in the dialogue. Come participate in discussions focused on the impact data science has on industries including intelligent transportation, unmanned aerial systems, cybersecurity, public policy, defense, and intelligence. https://www.ncsi.com/ The BD2K KnowEng Center is about to release its platform for genomics data analysis. See a presentation by the co-director of the Center for a brief overview of the KnowEnG system from the user's perspective, while also touching upon some key features of the underlying technologies. KnowEnG: Knowledge Network The BioCreative VI workshop will take place in October 18-20, Bethesda, Maryland, at the Double Tree hotel (walking distance from the NIH main campus). In addition, BioCreative VI will host a general session to provide an opportunity to discuss related work to BioCreative topics, including data set preparation, evaluation, biomedical information extraction. We are soliciting submission of your bioNLP/biocuration/text mining work in the form of a 2-page abstract (more information can be found in the links below). There is an opportunity to be selected for oral presentation during the general session. Keynote speakers are:
Planned panels are:
