Our clients have gain valuable new insight into computational biology that helps with current and future research. Our customer satisfaction levels can best be described in the following passage written by BioEdTM instructor, Steve Pechous, PhD:
“When teaching we often see, for example, how people will ‘understand’ the Protein, Gene, or PubMed databases, but lack an appreciation of the wealth of critical data and annotations often found within each entry. There are subtle ways to filter and collate data that are almost always unknown to those outside of NCBI, and most annotation fields and links to other data are poorly understood at best. In short, only a minority of ‘power users’ realize the hidden potential found in the results of their data mining... to streamline and hone a discovery pipeline.”
Instructor Info
All services are provided by molecular biologists and biochemists with PhDs, who bring with them many years of experience teaching and presenting these services as a contractor with the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)-home of GenBank®, PubMed®, PubChem and dbSNP.
