Workshop Description
Using social media tools such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, as well as the new Bio-Link web site and listserv, learn fast and easy ways to stay connected and up-to-date with Bio-Link. In this hands-on workshop, we will explore the social media tools Bio-Link uses.
Basic Laboratory Skills:
This informative session was presented by Jeanette Mowery and Lisa Seidman from Madison Area Technical College.
Measuring Gene Expression in Response to Drought
In this workshop, we will analyze microarray data that were obtained from the GEO database at the NCBI.
GEO is a database that contains expression data such as data from microarray experiments and from Next Generation DNA sequencing experiments like RNA-Seq.
The instructions and links to Geospiza's GeneSifter analysis software (from Geopsiza, Inc.) are available at Digital World Biology.
To get there:
1. Go to Digital World Biology (www.digitalworldbiology.com)
2. Select "Bioinformatics Tutorials"
3. Select "Exploring with microarrays: how do plants respond to drought?"
Connect With Bio-Link Through Social Media
This guide provides the basics on how to connect with Bio-Link using each of the following tools. Begin by selecting one of the "get started" links. A hands-on workshop will be offered in June, 2010 at the Bio-Link Summer Fellows Forum in Berkeley.
Why use social media tools?
- Stay connected with Bio-Link colleagues
- Stay up-to-date in your field of interests
