Bioinformatics Bites: R tutorials for beginners
Today’s Bioinformatics Bite is based on a hypothetical question that I think a lot of people are afraid to ask: I hear R is a great tool for doing bioinformatic analysis, but I have no idea how to code. How can I get started? Well, I’d say the first step is to Install R. Windows […]
Bioinformatics bites: How do I find primer binding sites?
This week’s bioinformatics bite comes from another actual patron question (paraphrased): I have all these primers that someone else designed. How to I figure out where they bind and what they amplify?
Disclaimer: this isn’t actually the answer I gave to the person seeking help, but I’ve since found a more efficient tool. Probably the […]
Off-Campus Access is changing!
On August 25, the Health Sciences Library will be making changes to our off-campus proxy system so that you can now log in with your PassportID (this is the same username and password you use for other
University resources – like 0365 email and the UCDAccess Portal). *Why are we making this change? Here is […]
Clinical Corner: Seizure/Epilepsy Videos
Cameron Ludt, DO (Neurology PGY-3) gave a presentation at Internal Medicine noon conference last Friday on epilepsy and seizure disorders. A highlight of the presentation was the showing of several videos recorded on the epilepsy monitoring unit, so that students and residents could see firsthand what
different types of seizures looked like. To see even […]
New ProQuest Interface
On August 20th ProQuest will release an upgraded interface. The Health Sciences Library’s ProQuest resources include Dissertations & Theses.
Bioinformatics Bites: Primer BLAST
This week’s bioinformatics bites is going to look over the features of Primer BLAST. Back in my day (circa 2001-2014), we designed our primers by hand! Most of the places I worked, we’d have a printout of the genomic sequence we were working on that was annotated with transcripts and restriction site. We’d eyeball a good […]
Clinical Corner: Inpatient Glycemic Control
Today’s Internal Medicine Morbidity and Mortality Conference focused on a patient with type 1 diabetes who had difficulty with glycemic control during hospitalization. Here are several articles for background information: Inpatient glycemic control: Best practice advice from the Clinical Guidelines Committee of the American College of Physicians. Qaseem A, Chou R, Humphrey LL, Shekelle P; […]
