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.

In my last post about the Law of Inevitable Stagnation, I proposed that many (most?) web-based scientific applications eventually go stale. I mentioned this to a colleague and SymAtlas user recently, and he had an interesting suggestion. He...

The future of SymAtlas

We know that we have a pretty loyal base of SymAtlas users. And it’s because of that knowledge that we don’t tread lightly on making changes to this well-used resource. But SymAtlas is getting a bit long in the tooth, and at some point...

The Gene Wiki

I guess many others have blogged about it, and now that we have a blog of our own, seems like we should join the crowd. Recently, we published a paper in PLoS Biology describing an effort we call the Gene Wiki. The Gene Wiki is an informal...

Problems with BioGPS?

Just a quick note that we discovered some access issues for some small (hopefully) percentage of users. (A problem with DNS, for the computer-inclined…) Just wanted to let people know that if you were getting a “server not found”...
