Here we go again: World Cup begins and, as any other big sports event, on line TV from your country is blocked if you’re abroad. And it’s not the only restrictions that limit your freedom, including your chance to be a European citizen. There are technical solutions that allows one to overcome the sharks and you’ll discover them in this post. Although there is quite more than that.

…Perché invece, domanda retorica, il legislatore non si occupa di mettere mano a questa ridicola contraddizione dei ginecoloci anti-abortisiti? Perché non si dibatte circa i pericoli per la salute, derivanti dal fatto che questa è in mano a certi personaggi? A persone, cioè, che aderiscono a sette clericali e pretendono, per altro per ipocrite ragioni di carriera, di mischiare la scienza medica con le mistificazioni superstiziose?

Per esempio, qualcuno si è mai chiesto che cosa succede ad una ragazza e alla sua vita…

Vincono loro, i soliti noti. Questa banda di fetenti magnoni, che finge il conflitto, lo scontro durissimo, che gioca a chi è morale e chi no. E poi fai un giro per Roma e li ritrovi tutti assieme, belli pasciuti, che ci fottono allegramente, non solo in senso metaforico. L’articolo che segue spiega chiaramente la sistematica distruzione,

After a long time me and other brilliant guys from the NET Project team have been working, finally we have released a public version of the BioiInvestigation index and binaries for local installation! (Sources coming soon, just give us time to clean up/document etc.).

What is it?

The BII project provides an infrastructure for storage ‘n retrieval of multi-omics experiments (we call them studies), i.e.: studies which of typical design is: prepare a sample and take out different measurements on it, such as microarray data, proteomics, 2D-gels, sequencing etc. We aim at keeping together the meta-data about these experiments (experiment design, sample characteristics and preparation), as well as leveraging on existing omic-specific repositories and format (e.g.: ArrayExpress + MAGETAB, PRIDE + PRIDEML).

How does it work?

We cover the whole pipeline consisting of prepare-submission/submit/search-stored-information. Submissions can be crafted by means of the ISATAB format, a tabular, spreadsheet-based format, which is a compromise between the need for an (end)user-friendly format and the need for something decently structured and formal (a similar approach was followed for the definition of MAGETAB). Things are further eased by the ISAcreator, a graphical Java tool that works similarly to Excel (or OpenOffice Calc, I don’t like to mention MS only…), with the difference that ISAcreator has many more nice ISATAB-specific features. For instance, one of the most interesting things is that it connects to ontology servers (OLS or Bioportal) and allows you to select the right annotation terms for your submission.
