This fantastic tool saved me a couple of OD measurements yesterday night! more »

If you ever wondered how a given RNA sequence will fold in 2D, look no further... The RNAfold webserver calculates graphical images in diverse formatsof the structure based on different energy criteria you can choose. Looks a bit more powerful than the… more »

Through Boing Boing, I came across a new Wiki project, focused at creating more precise and reviewed (as opposed to automatically generated by scanning databases) resource for proteins and their signaling pathways. I think it is an interesting concept,… more »

This may be highly irrelevent to any non-scientist, but maybe one or two of you anonymous researchers could make some good use out of it. I feel that a lot of scientific and bioinformatics tools are available free on the net, but often unknown to the (y… more »

Found this tool on the Badscience blog. And it sure seems to be phun![youtube]0H5g9VS0ENM[/youtube]  more »

This is a wonderful collection of the basic principles and concepts in science. Highly interesting for ANYBODY interested in how science works. Quoting:This is a list of the Basic Concepts posts being put up by Science Bloggers and others. It will be up… more »

I used their services now for several times for plasmid sequencing and they are really very good at it, I must say! They receive the plasmids usually the day after you've sent them in, and results are normally obtained after 1 further day. I am espe… more »

For some time I had been looking for a simple tool to just reverse the 5' to 3' direction of DNA sequences without showing a reverse complementations, e.g. for ordering oligos. This site offers all this and more, a nice bookmark in case you don&… more »

I was never a big fan of those multi pipettes... The always made me feel like losing the control of what I was doing, and I suspected them of being rather imprecise. But now I had to do a titration with 8 different dilutions, 4 different cell types, 4 d… more »

A Better Way to Share Plasmids Addgene is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sharing of plasmid constructs described in published literature. Addgene stores original plasmid samples submitted by scientists and distributes them for use in a… more »

The latest public release of Papers now features finally output of your database into Endnote (buhhh) and BibTeX (yeahhh). Just thought you might like to know... more »

 Another great app by the makers of EnzymeX comes now as a public preview : It's simply called papers, and it has this name not by coincidence. It's a great tool, playing in (or at least aiming for) the league of Endnote et al. Here's what t… more »

Check this tutorial site out: This site provides short and concise introductions to basic concepts in molecular and cell biology and bioinformatics. The main emphasis is placed on making it as easy as possible for the user to understand which tools and… more »

    This Open Source tool proved to be quite helpful in calculating complementary nucleotide strands which you can easy Copy/Paste... But it is much more, quoting : GENtle is a software for DNA and amino acid editing, database management,… more »
