Bio

Andrew is a Professor at the Scripps Research Institute in the Department of Integrative, Structural and Computational Biology (ISCB). His research focuses on building and applying bioinformatics infrastructure for biomedical discovery. His research has a particular emphasis on leveraging crowdsourcing for genetics and genomics. Representative projects include the Gene Wiki, BioGPS, MyGene.Info, and Mark2Cure, each of which engages the crowd to help organize biomedical knowledge. These resources are collectively used millions of times every month by members of the research community, by students, and by the general public.

Upcoming webinar on the Gene Wiki

Just a quick note that Ben Good and I will be presenting for the NCBO’s webinar series next week on the Gene Wiki. The title of the talk will be “The Gene Wiki: Cultivating and mining community intelligence in biology”. Feel free...

The Gene Wiki gets NIH support

Even though this blog was initially created to cover our BioGPS gene portal application, one of the broader themes of our group’s research is harnessing community intelligence in biology. And aside from BioGPS, our other main project in this space...

We love model organisms too

Given our group’s interests in mammalian biology, we initially focused on gene annotation data from just three species — human, mouse and rat. However, the plugin concept that BioGPS uses is easily extensible to other organisms as well....
