Applications are due <b>June 1st, 2016 by 5 pm ET</b>.</p><p>This event is for students, postdocs and investigators or other researchers already engaged in the use of JavaScript-based viewers for protein structure visualization and/or genome/gene/protein sequence browsers. It is open to anyone selected for the hackathon, and registered for the ISMB 2016 meeting.</p><p>
|
|
<b>Update: Due to the many potential conflicts for ISMB participants, we have moved all hackathon sessions to the evening, after programming.</b>
|
|
</p><p>Working groups of 5-6 individuals will be formed into five or six teams. These teams will build pipelines and tools to analyze large datasets within a cloud infrastructure. The potential subjects for this iteration are:</p><ul><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Presenting data to and from JavaScript-viewable protein structures,</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>Simplified structure diagrams,</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>A digital notebook for structural biologists,</div></li><li class="half_rhythm"><div>And pharmacogenomic association in conserved binding sites*.</div></li></ul><p>* Some of the projects will build on APIs feeding data to or extracting data from viewers, so applicants need not be working on JavaScript viewers per se. For example, there is an opportunity to interface existing applications and libraries using any programming language with the <a href="http://mmtf.rcsb.org" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">Macromolecule Transmission Format</a> (MMTF) for ultrafast access, parsing, and processing of PDB structures.</p><p>Please see the <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1p6eg8p9mSRa5q661_zZtPCZiLuuhmPJOO5Vd-7IGYaY/viewform" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">application</a> for specific team projects.</p><div id="news_05-10-2016.organization"><h3>

The first round of accepted applicants will be notified on June 3rd by 5 pm ET, and have until June 6th at noon to confirm their participation.</p><p>If you confirm, please make sure it is highly likely you can attend, as confirming and not attending bars other data scientists from attending this event. <b>We understand this hackathon is going on during an information-dense scientific meeting, so we ask that attendees attend at least part of three out of five scientific sessions in the <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h637SUdS_8dy8PRIKqdKoxv4B9b4iSLwaWR0WsZgl_g/edit?usp=sharing" ref="pagearea=body&targetsite=external&targetcat=link&targettype=uri">draft daily schedule</a>.</b> Please include a monitored email address, in case there are follow-up questions.</p><p>Note: Participants will need to bring their own laptop to this program. A working knowledge of scripting (e.g., Shell, Python) is necessary to be successful in this event. Knowledge of JavaScript will be particularly helpful in this event. Applicants must be willing to commit to all three days of the event. No financial support for travel, lodging or meals is available for this event. Also note that the event may extend into the evening hours on Friday and/or Saturday. Please make any necessary arrangements to accommodate this possibility.

</p><p>On May 18th, NCBI will present a webinar that will show attendees how to use the standalone VDB blast programs (blastn_vdb and tblastn_vdb), which are part of the SRA Toolkit, as clients to search whole genome shotgun contigs (WGS) and Transcriptome Shotgun Assembly (TSA) data. WGS, which are partially assembled genome sequences, and TSA, which are transcripts assembled from next-gen RNA-Seq data, are two of the fastest growing categories of sequence data available for BLAST searching.</p><p>Through this webinar, you will see how to use the WGS/TSA browser or the EDirect utilities to find the WGS and TSA projects that interest you. You'll also learn how to use an NCBI Perl script to retrieve the database prefixes for taxonomic subsets of WGS databases.</p><p><b>Time and date:</b> May 18th, 2016 12PM Eastern</p><p><b>Registration URL:</b>
