NCBI Webinar: Resources for Cancer Research on March 2, 2016. NLM Tech Bull. 2016 Jan-Feb;(408):b7.
This workshop provides an overview of NCBI molecular resources for cancer researchers. In the first part of the Webinar you will learn to more effectively use the Entrez text-based search system and the BLAST sequence similarity search tool to find data relevant to cancer research including sequence, variation, gene and expression information. The second part of the presentation will focus on accessing large-scale genomics datasets. You will learn how to search for, access and download DNA-seq, RNA-seq, Epigenomics and Metagenomics datasets and how to access the tools and APIs at NCBI that can be used to extract relevant subsets of that data for cancer research.
