ITHS Education

ITHS, the University of Washington Health Sciences Library, Fred Hutch, and the National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Pacific Northwest Region are pleased to host five free NLM National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) workshops on June 14 and 15, 2016, in Seattle, Washington, and online.

In this NCBI workshop, you will find, display, and analyze microarray and sequence-based expression data that are stored in the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), Sequence Read Archive (SRA), UniGene, and Epigenomics databases to investigate the potential for expression of transcript splice variants and examine the levels of expression under varied experimental conditions as well as in different tissues and disease states. You will analyze Microarray data the on-demand GEO2R tool and will explore the precomputed transcript analyses that are displayed on the UniGene and GEO Profiles pages. You will explore genome-aligned RNA-Seq data through the Gene database’s sequence viewer displays and analyze raw RNA-Seq reads in the SRA database using NCBI’s SRA-BLAST service.

Speaker Biography

Bonnie Maidack, PhD, is a member of the Public Services Section at NCBI and enjoys helping others learn how to use NCBI resources. She started her career path of biological information service while working on the OMIM database at Johns Hopkins Welch Medical Library in Baltimore, Maryland. Four years later, she moved to the Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) then located at UIUC and later at Michigan State University in East Lansing, Michigan and began curating prokaryotic ribosomal RNA sequence data. Bonnie relocated to Maryland approximately 15 years ago to start curating Reference Sequence Project data at NCBI, in Bethesda, Maryland. Bonnie Maidak  earned a B.S. in biology degree from Virginia Tech, a Ph.D. in medical genetics from Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, and a M.S. in Library and Information Sciences from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC).
