Raw data download
One of the primary reasons scientists come to BioGPS is to view our reference gene expression data sets in a simple bar chart form. And for the bioinformaticians, we've always provided the data sets for download on our BioGPS downloads page. Now, we have one more...
BioGPS profile in BioTechniques
Prompted by the recent publication of the BioGPS paper in Genome Biology, the folks at BioTechniques recently wrote a profile of BioGPS. It's a very nice overview of BioGPS and its goals. For those who are interested in more of the gory details, I'm pasting the entire...
The retirement of SymAtlas
Although SymAtlas has served us well over the years, it's finally time for its graceful retirement. We've been keeping it running on life support for quite some time now (with varying degrees of success). We've tried to make the transition from SymAtlas to BioGPS a...
Correlation search
Many of you know that the precursor to BioGPS was another web tool called SymAtlas. While SymAtlas was great, BioGPS was meant to expand on that design by focusing on community extensibility and user customizability. We are very proud that BioGPS handled all of the...
BioGPS manuscript published in Genome Biology
The manuscript describing BioGPS has just been published online in Genome Biology! Currently it's only available as a provisional PDF, but the final typeset version should be available in the next couple weeks. [Edit: the final version of the manuscript is now...
BioGPS now supports Drosophila genes
Although the data and functionality have been in place for a while, this post is the official announcement that BioGPS now supports Drosophila genes and data. What does this mean? Three things:View Drosophila data. As shown in the figure at right, you now can view...
Usage update: November 2009
It's been several months since the last usage update in June so I thought I'd post some updated numbers. In addition to the standard metrics below, I plotted our growth in page views and website visits over time starting at the beginning of 2009:Between January and...
Spotlight: GeneCards
This week, we're pleased to profile the popular GeneCards database in our weekly Spotlight series. Most people will need no introduction to GeneCards, but nevertheless we thought it would be nice to get a chance to highlight their recent work and to note their BioGPS...
Spotlight: Ingenuity and GeneGO
This week, we're featuring a head-to-head spotlight series between two of the most popular pathway analysis tools, GeneGO and Ingenuity. Both are available as BioGPS plugins (Ingenuity and GeneGO).By the flip of a coin, GeneGO goes first...In one tweet (140...
New home page
We're pleased to release the new BioGPS home page. Check it out!We've tried to make the new design cleaner, clearer, and more information-rich. This design also opens up some future enhancements we have planned.Opinions on how we've done? Let us know...
