Dr. Hemme will be presenting a short talk on the current state of the Core and what factors will influence the future of the Core. Specifically, we will discuss current […]
Continue reading "MIC Virtual Open House"Sequencing Update Winter 2023 It has been a year and a half since the merger of the URI Genomics and Sequencing Center (GSC) with the RI-INBRE Bioinformatics Core to form the RI-INBRE Molecular Informatics Core (MIC), we have closely monitored usage to ensure that we are providing sufficient services to our customers. Our two primary […]
Continue reading "Sequencing Update"Methotrexate is a folate inhibitor that targets the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) enzyme, resulting in interference with nucleotide synthesis and cellular repair. For this reason, methotrexate is used as an anti-cancer drug. The goal of this app is to demonstrate the activity of methotrexate when interacting with DHFR in a virtual environment that requires the user […]
Continue reading "Methotrexate VR"Aspirin is one of the most well-known pharmaceuticals and its precursor has been used since ancient times as a pain reliever. Along with its well-known pain relief and anti-inflammatory, aspirin is also used as a blood thinner and may reduce the risk of some types of cancer. As our first prototype VR application, we developed […]
