Cancer Research Resources webinar

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is hosting a free webinar titled, "Resources for Cancer Research" on March 2, 2016, at 10:00 am PST.

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.

Reaxys Webinar: In-silico phenotypic screening

Are you using phenotypic screening as a way to discover new drugs or would you like to know more about this approach?

Reaxys is hosting a free webinar entitled, "Building an in-silico Phenotypic Screening Approach with Reaxys" on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 at 8:00am PST.

Senior Product Manager Olivier Barberan will cover the following:

• Outline the steps to take when building this approach in Reaxys.
• Demonstrate how pharmacological targets involved in cell based assay can be easily identified in Reaxys with their mechanisms of action.

Register for the free webinar here.

Reaxys (Beilstein) provides worldwide coverage of the literature relating to the preparations and properties of organic compounds. Reaxys is searchable in multiple ways, including chemical structure, formula, and physical property parameters. Reaxys indexes periodicals, books, dissertations, and patents dated 1800 to the present. It also includes a chemical reactions database.

Think. Check. Submit.

With so many new journals being published each year, how do you know if you can trust a particular journal with your article? The Think, Check, Submit campaign has released a simple checklist to help you with this decision. It includes asking such questions as:

• Is it easy to contact the publisher? 
• Are articles indexed in major databases?
• Have you heard of any of the editorial board members?
• http://thinkchecksubmit.org/
