On Ubuntu Linux and other distributions, OmicsBox might not start. This can happen due to an incompatibility of JavaFX in combination with Wayland and GTK3. This blog describes a possible workaround for this problem. Step 1: Open a terminal window and check if the following command gives you “wayland”. If it gives you “x11” the OmicsBox is probably not starting
We are very proud to be part of the European Project INTERCEPT-MDS, a highly competitive international training network (ITN) that seeks to advance cancer research and have a high impact on future generations of researchers. In this article, you can learn more about ITNs in general and this initiative in particular. What is an ITN? An ITN is a training
What is a Gene Venn Diagram? A Gene Venn Diagram is a graphical representation in the form of overlapping circles widely used to represent relationships among different genes (IDs). High-throughput sequencing technologies generate large amounts of data sets coming from multiomics studies. At the transcriptomic level, differential expression analysis appears to be a highly important field of study in bioinformatics
At BioBam, we are strongly committed to ensuring that all of our bioinformatics solutions comply with the highest data security standards. We aim to provide the highest security for our customer’s data, which we store and protect. BioBam can proudly announce that we have achieved our first ISO 27001 certification for Information Security and Privacy in 2020.
OmicsBox enables users to rename all selected sequences by modifying the existing sequence name through conversion, replacement, or adding text.
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has proven its usefulness in deciphering biological processes. Since it allows the study of samples at the cell level, it provides a more detailed view of the underlying biology. A nearly mandatory step in any scRNA-seq analysis is to identify the cell types present in the analyzed samples so further biological insights can be obtained.
From the 18th to the 21st of September, the BioBam team had the opportunity to take part in one of the largest European conferences on computational biology. The Spanish National Bioinformatics Institute (INB/ELIXIR-ES) and the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) welcomed bioinformatics and bioscientist from all over the world to the city of Sitges (Barcelona, Spain) to participate in the 21st
We are happy to announce the latest update of OmicsBox 2.2. After several months of intensive work we are finally ready to present the new version of BioBam’s bioinformatics solution. OmicsBox 2.2 comes with new Single Cell and Long Read Data Analysis Features and many other platform improvements. OmicsBox continues improving to become the most efficient, powerful and user-friendly bioinformatics
The differential expression (DE) analysis has been used in bulk RNA-seq analysis for many years. It allows us to statistically measure changes in gene expression levels between different groups. With bulk RNA-seq analysis many cells are sequenced at the same time, so gene expression levels are commonly measured at the tissue level. Thus, the differences between samples and conditions are
