OpenHelix Receives NIH Grant for Tool-Specific Bioinformatics Training
Seattle, WA. OpenHelix, the leader in delivering to bioinformatics users the knowledge they need, when they need it, announced the award of a $100,000 Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Institutes of Health. The grant will fund research on the best methods to deliver to researchers the training they need to successfully use bioinformatics tools.
Its difficult to find the knowledge you need to use bioinformatics tools, said Warren Lathe, PhD, OpenHelix Chief Scientific Officer. This grant will help bridge the ever widening gap between the bioinformatics resources and the people that need to use them.
The grant will fund research on delivering training on three of the major genome browsers now used in genomic research (Ensembl, NCBI Map Viewer, and UCSC Genome Browser). The study will compare the effectiveness of on-site training, web seminars and on-line, self-run tutorials. For a limited time, the web seminars and tutorials will be available at no cost to participants. For more information on how to take advantage of these trainings, those interested can visit trainings.openhelix.com.

UCSC and OpenHelix™ announce comprehensive training programs for Genome Browser.
Seattle, WA: The University of California Santa Cruz Bioinformatics Group has contracted with OpenHelix™ to provide revolutionary and comprehensive training and outreach programs for its Genome Browser.
"UCSC's Genome Browser has been a big hit with scientists since its creation," said Jim Kent, Co-Director of the UCSC Genome Browser Project, "As the site has evolved, the complexity has increased. New users can benefit from training, even experienced users can learn a trick or two. OpenHelix has done an exceptional job developing educational materials for us. And by outsourcing training to them, we can focus our energies on enhancing the software and adding new data."
UCSC has contracted with OpenHelix to create and implement many outreach and training programs, including: offering regional hands-on computer seminars, currently planned for Boston, Seattle, Washington D.C., San Francisco, and Raleigh N.C.; creating and distributing online training tools including a self-run tutorial and a slide set that can be used by professors, teachers, and trainers at no cost; creating and distributing Quick Reference Cards at no cost to the user; and providing training at industry conferences.
Users can download or order the free materials and receive more specific dates and times on the low-cost seminars at www.openhelix.com/ucscmaterials.shtml.
"OpenHelix is excited to be the training and outreach resource for UCSC's bioinformatics team," said OpenHelix founder and CEO Scott Lathe. "UCSC has done a phenomenal service to the scientific community by paying for outreach programs for their users, giving them free or reduced cost training."
About the New State of the Bioinformatics Market
The post-genomic era has yielded a multitude of free public-access resources for the dissemination and analysis of genomic data. But with the success of public bioinformatics tools such as the UCSC Genome Browser, corporations who planned on charging for these resources have changed their business models or exited the industry. However, the public providers of these tools are mainly research institutions and therefore lack outreach and training programs. As a result, there is a documented widespread lack of awareness and underutilization of the data and tools throughout the biomedical community.
OpenHelix bridges this gap between bioinformatics tools and under-trained users through outsourced training, software testing, and research consulting

OpenHelix today has launched its online training with a selection of online tutorials on a variety of bioinformatics tools including the UCSC Genome Browser, NCBI Map Viewer and more. These tutorials include both scheduled instructor-led live web conference tutorials and pre-recorded self-paced Flash tutorials and are prepared and taught by experienced biologists and bioinformaticists.
Take a moment to visit the OpenHelix online training section to learn more and visit our tutorial catalog to purchase and register for tutorials. More tutorials and topics are being added regularly.
In recognition of DNA Day, OpenHelix would like to offer you a free viewing of our online tutorial entitled The Big Three: Human Genome Browsers. This tutorial is a brief introduction to the three major web-based resources for viewing the human genome dataEnsembl, NCBI Map Viewer, and the UCSC Genome Browser. It is designed for biological researchers who have some knowledge of genes and gene structures, and genome conceptsto raise awareness of all 3 resources. But you should feel free to view it and see if it would be suited for advanced high school students as well, if you wish to offer this to students.
The tutorial lasts about 30 minutes, and requires a current browser with Macromedia Flash (a free download), and speakers or headphones for your computer. To test your ability to view the tutorial, see: tutorial guide.
The tutorial will be available from noon Thursday April 29th, through Friday April 30th. To access this tutorial for DNA Day, follow these steps, after noon (Eastern time) on Thursday:

OpenHelix has joined the National Coalition for Health Professional Education in Genetics (NCHPEG; www.nchpeg.org). The mission of NCHPEG is to prepare health professionals for the genomics revolution. Their growing resource collection provides clinicians with access to educational materials, and links to many other excellent educational sites as well.
OpenHelix is proud to belong to NCHPEG, and to be in the company of many professional societies and corporations that value genomics education.
OpenHelix representatives will attend the upcoming NCHPEG annual meeting. The National Coalition for Health Professional Education in Genetics (NCHPEG) and Genetics Resources on the Web (GROW) are "preparing health professionals for the genomics revolution". OpenHelix will present material about the benefits of outsourcing bioinformatics training to increase the end-user capability with software tools, which enables software users to find more data about their genes of interest, design better experiments with increased knowledge and improved access to reagents, stay more current with new information, as well as make leaps to new findings based on data that is available at their fingertips.
The American Society for Human Genetics Annual Meeting (ASHG), November 4-8 2003. Los Angeles, CA
Visit our booth, and receive a complementary Quick Reference Card for the UCSC Genome Browser. Talk with us about bioinformatics education.
The American Society of Human Genetics will hold the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Society from November 4-8, 2003. Thousands of scientists who are involved in medicine, research, social and educational aspects of human genetics will convene for fascinating discussions on many topics. OpenHelix representatives will be on-site in the exhibitors area to demonstrate our training materials and discuss your training needs. Please stop by to discuss bioinformatics education.
