Join the San Diego Bioinformatics Network for our first event in this new format—a bi-annual holiday mixer! All are welcome to attend (bioinformaticians, biologists and others interested in being part of the UC San Diego bioinformatics community). We will have a Bioinformatics Showcase featuring hands-on demos of UC San Diego developed bioinformatics tools, an informal poster session, and a no-host bar with snacks. Featured tools in the Bioinformatics Showcase: expression, sequence variation and copy number, proteomic, flow cytometry, and network analysis, manipulate, and publish biological network knowledge with any type of attribute data. A lot of apps are available for various kinds of problem domains, including bioinformatics, social network analysis, and semantic web.
