SBGrid and Janet Iwasa of The Animation Lab are pleased to host a 5-day intensive, in-person workshop from August 1-5, 2022 that will cover 3D molecular animation. Students will learn how to export molecular models from UCSF Chimera, work together on a common project to create an animated scene in the 3D animation software Autodesk Maya, and use Adobe After Effects to composite the final animation, adding narration and text.
Dr. Iwasa will reserve part of each day for students to ask questions about their specific planned animation with a goal that they will return to the laboratory …
We're looking forward to presenting in the upcoming USNC/Cr workshop series - Exploring Structural Database Use in Crystallography - where we'll
introduce attendees to the tools and services available to SBGrid Consortium members:
We're excited to announce a new webinar mini-series starting March 15th - CryoEM of membrane proteins: from sample to structure - with a terrific group of speakers including opening and closing keynotes from Profs. Nieng Yan and Chris Tate, a special lecture from Prof. Melanie Ohi, panel discussions on sample preparation and regional CryoEM infrastructure, and a look at Single Particle CryoEM with Shaun Rawson and ChimeraX CryoEM modeling with Tom Goddard.
Organized in collaboration with Profs. Jamaine Davis of Meharry Medical College, Piotr Sliz of Harvard Medical School, and Patrick Sexton at the ARC Centre for Cryo-electron Microscopy of Membrane Proteins, Monash University.
For SBGrid users who are already familiar with the SBGrid software installation platform, members may opt-in in to include the BioGrids software stack in their installation. BioGrids in an SBGrid-style collection of ~ 500 open source bioinformatics software titles, with collections for high-throughput sequencing, genomics, proteomics, visualization, image analysis, etc.
Our resident bioinformatics expert, Jim Vincent, recorded this brief tutorial - BioGrids for SBGrid Users - with more information on how SBGrid users can access this software stack. Contact us at help@biogrids.org with any questions.
Many thanks to all who joined our most recent mini-series - Cryo-electron microscopy: from Sample to Structure - hosted in collaboration with Prof. Kurt Krause of University of Otago, Prof. Piotr Sliz of Harvard Medical School, and Prof. Antoine van Oijen, University of Wollongong and ARC CCeMMP.
The samples preparation, cryoEM computing, and regional infrastructure talks are available on SBGridTV.
We are looking forward to preparing another webinar series in 2022 - stay tuned!
