Despite what our name might imply, the Rat Genome Database contains much more than just genomic and genetic data for the rat. This video will give you an overview of the RGD Phenotypes and Models portal—a rich resource of information on topics including animal husbandry, identifying what rat strains are good models for certain human diseases, and normal physiological measurements for a variety of rat strains.

This is lecture 18 (the final lecture) from a graduate student class in structural bioinformatics offered at UCSD see http://www.sdsc.edu/pb/edu/pharm201/ The lecture covers the a brief discussion of some outstanding problems.

This is lecture 17 from a graduate student class in structural bioinformatics offered at UCSD see http://www.sdsc.edu/pb/edu/pharm201/ The lecture covers the features of protein-protein interactions and one method to predict such interactions.

This video provides a brief introduction to the new Ratmine (http://ratmine.mcw.edu) data warehouse and data mining tool released as part of the Rat Genome Database. It highlights some of Ratmine's key features and shows how to use Ratmine's Templates and Lists to find disease genes, common pathways and display protein-protein interactions and more.

This is lecture 14 from a graduate student class in structural bioinformatics offered at UCSD see http://www.sdsc.edu/pb/edu/pharm201/ The lecture covers the principles of assigning protein secondary structure using teh 3D structure as a starting point with a focus on the Kabsch-Sander algorithm as used in DSSP.

Are you missing the added value that you could be getting from ontology annotations? You know what ontologies are—maybe you've even used them on occasion. But if the only part of an ontology annotation that you take into account is the term itself, you could be skipping over valuable information that the other components of annotations supply. This video will give you insight into what that "valuable information" is and how to interpret what you see when you examine ontology annotations.
