Subject: [Chromosomes] 'Artificial Meiosis' query
Message-ID: <BAY105-F19F2CB9ABDBFCDD1659796A4A30@phx.gbl>

Hi,

I doubt this email is still valid. I googled a posting to an email list you
wrote in 1997, asking about what technology there might be to create
'artificial meiosis' in other cell to fertilise an egg. I am looking for
that exact information now for my own situation. Wondering if you found
anything, or have any leads.

thanx,
Eli

Message-ID: <4423B7D8.1040802@exa.unrc.edu.ar>

I'm interested in mouse Y- and X-chromosome specific probes for chromosome
fluorescence in situ hybridization. I want to label this probes with various
fluorescent dyes, so I would be very pleased, if I could get any clones with
these probes.
Any help is requested.

Thank you in advance,

Elsa

                        Genome Canada
              APPLIED COMPUTATIONAL GENOMICS COURSE

September 8-14, 2006, University of Manitoba
Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada 

(International attendees welcome!)
------------------------------------------------------

Bioinformatics in the post-genomic era requires the analysis of
large and diverse datasets using automated tools. While
many Web-based tools are available to the lab researcher,
the Web is awkward for tasks beyond single-sequence annotation.
Researchers need to become productive in a server-based
Unix environment with its wealth of scripting and automation
tools. Even at an entry-level, this can be an intimidating
endeavor. The Genome Canada Bioinformatics Platform is
empowering researchers by teaching a hands-on course,
with lectures and tutorials presented by a panel of
experts. The course uses  tools and services available
through the Genome Canada Bioinformatics Platform.
Most tools used are open-source, and can be freely
downloaded for use at one's home institution.
Topics include (tentative): 

Becoming a power user 
o   Basic Unix skills on a network-centric desktop 
o   BIRCH: Working with sequence datasets on a comprehensive bioinformatics
    system 
o   BIRCH: Creating your own in-house bioinformatics system 

Creating automated data pipelines 
o   Perl scripting: Quick automation of data analysis tasks and utilization
    of web services 
o   BioPerl; Object-oriented Perl; Data warehousing - the SeqHound API 
o   BioMOBY: a transparent software layer that automatically finds and uses
    web services 

High throughput genome annotation 
o   TimeLogic Decypher  and Paracel Gene Matcher  
o   MAGPIE, BLUEJAY  : Automated genome analysis, annotation and visualization  
o   OSPREY: High-throughput oligonucleotide design

Canadian Bioinformatics Help Desk 

Secure use of remote bioinformatics systems: 

o   command line: ssh, sftp, scp, tar, gzip
o   remote desktop: VNC
