I thought about doing a colony counter for the G1 ... point it a plate , click and get a the number of colonies. This could be handy :) - Pedro Beltrao
Mobile versions of commonly-used websites: NCBI databases, BLAST, PDB etc? - Neil Saunders
Like Pedro's idea too. A common complaint about electronic lab notebooks is that people in the lab do not record data at a computer - so why not transmit to the ELN via phone? Better still, have the instruments tweet to the ELN :-) - Neil Saunders
Would there have to be one? (Or am I just narrow-minded here? Hope not...) The colony counter makes sense, but there's no real added value in blast or ncbi on a mobile phone, is there? It'd really have to be an app that leverages the fact that it can be carried around. So maybe as an input portal for your labjournal (notes, photos). - Jan Aerts
Inspired by, but not affiliated with Wikipedia, we are building a searchable, editable, and expandable collection of tunes, melodies, and musical themes. Every entry can be edited by anybody. An entry can contain a bit of sheet music, a MIDI file, textual information about the work and the composer, and last but not least the Parsons Code, a rough description of the melodic contour. - Pierre
Congratulations on completing the port. If you are doing substructure search you might want to check out SUBDUE as well (http://ailab.wsu.edu/subdue/). I wrote a Java calling interface for SUBDUE but I never polished it enough to make it public. - Don Pellegrino
Thanks, but credit goes to Mark for actually making it work :) - Rajarshi Guha
It looks like SUBDUE is for pattern discovery rather than isomorphism. - Rajarshi Guha
Possible, maybe - but limited by the willingness of hospitals to share. - Jere
These guys are all about using aggregating publicly available data sets to achieve better results (or new discoveries) than any one of them alone could. Pretty cool stuff. Disclaimer: they're in my department ;-) - Shirley Wu
nice initial sample size: "Quantitative clinical laboratory data, consisting of 1,104,316 measurements across 656 distinct lab tests. In total,
this data represented 4,844 patients across all ages that were diagnosed with one or more of a set of 12 chronic diseases... - Attila Csordas
