EXPLORATIONS IN BIOINFORMATICS
What is “Familiar” About MSCL – Informationist Collaboration
Primary role is data and text mining Evaluate resources - resources typically text
mining tools and database interfaces Conduct searches, subject terms are gene sets
and microarray probe IDs; methods of database access are unique

What is Unique About MSCL – Informationist Collaboration
MSCL does not use “library resources” in the traditional sense of the word
50% work commitment in lab Office space @ DCB, access to the NIH
mainframe through HELIX MSCL collaborative efforts are intermittent, and
project bound MSCL has been working with some core groups
for 5+ years
Primary Roles with MSL

EXPLORATIONS IN BIOINFORMATICS
What Tools do I use?
Use bioinformatics tools to explore modeled relationships between proteins, genes, complexes, cells, tissues, drugs, and diseases
Focus on information about gene function, metabolic, signaling, and canonical pathways
