So What? Success Tip #4

So What? Tip Computing efficiency tip: Get more memory! Why? Memory is likely the single most important factor affecting the speed of your computer. The good news is: it's cheap (e.g. $200 to max your machine). As one post-doc recently said afer increasing the memory in her laptop "my life has changed!"

portal mission

PharmGKB is a major repository of pharmacogenomic data for Homo sapiens. Its principal investigator is Stanford Professor of Bioengineering Russ B. Altman. The GO Ontologies are the principal ontologies describing the properties of genes and proteins of many organisms. One of its architects is Stanford Genetics Professor J. Michael Cherry. SMD is a major repository of microarray gene expression. The database is a joint project in the Departments of Biochemistry and Genetics at the School of Medicine, Stanford University. SOURCE is a data retrieval tool provided by the Department of Genetics at the School of Medicine, Stanford University.
[more] SGD is the main repository of genome data from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its principal investigator is Stanford Genetics Professor J. Michael Cherry.
[more] TGD is the main repository of genome data from Tetrahymena thermophila. Its principal investigator is Stanford Genetics Professor J. Michael Cherry. TGD is the main repository of genome data from Candida albicans. Its principal investigator is Stanford Genetics Assistant Professor Gavin Sherlock. SAM is a powerful tool for evaluating the statistical significance microarray gene expression data. The tool is provided by Stanford Professor of Statistics Robert Tibshirani. TGD is the main repository of genome data from Tetrahymena thermophila. Its principal investigator is Stanford Genetics Professor J. Michael Cherry. TAIR is the main repository of genome data from Arabidopsis thaliana. It is curated by personnel form Stanford's Department of Plant Biology. Using microarray data, BioProspector examines the upstream region of genes in the same gene expression pattern group, looking for regulatory sequence motifs. It was developed by Stanford Biochemistry Professor Douglas L. Brutlag. A powerful tool for microarray and genome data analysis, BioProspector examines the upstream region of genes in the same gene expression pattern group, looking for regulatory sequence motifs. It was developed by a team that includes a number of Stanford researchers. Using combined tiling array and comparative genomics data, CisGenome was developed by a team that includes Stanford Professor of Statistics Wing Wong. This resource is restriced to holders of a SUNet ID. StepMiner was developed by a team that includes Stanford Professor of Statistics Robert Tibshirani, Stanford Associate Professor of Radiology Sylvia K. Plevritis, and Stanford Professor of Computer Science David L. Dill.
