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.

Tune in on April 11th to hear about the latest enhancements in Movie Making for cryoEM using ChimeraX. Tom Goddard, Programmer/Analyst at the UCSF Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics, will join us to give the presentation.
Movie Making for cryoEM using ChimeraX
Tuesday, April 11th EDT
Tom Goddard
Programmer/Analyst
UCSF Resource for Biocomputing, Visualization, and Informatics
Host: Jason Key
Learn how to make movies showing how molecular structures fit in cryoEM maps using ChimeraX, the next generation version of the UCSF Chimera visualization program. We will make movies that show morphing, ambient occlusion lighting, and density near each fit residue, and will discuss ChimeraX virtual reality capabilities,including 360 degree stereoscopic movie recording.
