Yi Ding, a Clinical Center postdoc, and Dr. Medha Bhagwat, the NIH Library Bioinformatics Support Program Coordinator, discuss how a library tutorial with Medha was instrumental in Ding's successful cloning of a gene promoter sequence.
The NIH Library's Bioinformatics Support Program was developed to provide researchers with powerful tools to analyze and understand the biological significance of a variety of data. The program is conducted by an expert bioinformatics trainer, Dr. Medha Bhagwat, and consists of the following:
"Bhagwat is especially helpful to researchers, because she was a bench scientist and she knows what scientists need. She knows computers, writes scripts, and extracts data from databases."
