We recently developed a web application, MolEvolvR, to characterize proteins using molecular evolution and phylogeny. This session will serve as a behind-the-scenes (BTS) sneak peek into what MolEvolvR does, how it does it, and its origin story. The …
Conferences are spaces to meet and network within and across academic and technical fields, learn about new advances, and share our work. They can help define career paths and create long-lasting collaborations and opportunities. However, these …
This workshop presents how to analyze & visualize processed transcriptomic data.
This workshop is divided in 5 parts:
Part 1: Getting started w/ `readr`
Part 2: Reshaping data w/ `tidyr`
Part 3: Data wrangling w/ `dplyr`
Part 4: Visualizing tidy …
Studying proteins through the lens of evolution can help identify conserved features and lineage-specific variants, and potentially, their functions. MolEvolvR (http://jravilab.org/molevolvr) is a web-app that enables researchers to run a …
Key “take home” points:
1. How to engage and bring together those underrepresented in STEAM?
2. What are useful formats to engage a diverse audience?
3. How to identify co-organizers, speakers, sources of funding?
The ability to host an entire conference online went from nice-to-have to absolutely essential for many communities within just a bit more than a year. As a consequence, online conference tools were exposed to a wider audience, faced tougher …
Molecular evolution and phylogeny can provide key insights into pathogenic protein families. Studying how these proteins evolve across bacterial lineages can help identify lineage-specific and pathogen-specific signatures and variants, and …
R has been a very inclusive community and collective learning has always helped, with many users of R in Asian countries we can as well have a strongly knit community for R’s users. Inspired by the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) R, AfricaR, and …
