Migale Bioinformatics Facility
Due to recent developments in the COVID-19 epidemic, all facility staff is now teleworking. Some of us with children at home. We are commited to keep the platform running and answer to your requests as quickly as possible. Please excuse in advance any delay that may occur.
The facility shutdown initially planned at the end of the month (March 30th) is postponed at an unknown date.
A collaboration with the MICALIS institute and NBO team has led to the publication of an article entitled: "First step of odorant detection in the olfactory epithelium and olfactory preferences differ according to the microbiota profile in mice"
The highlights are:

From December 2 to 6, Mahendra Mariadassou, Cédric Midoux and Olivier Rué went to Roscoff to give a training course dedicated to the analysis of amplicon metagenomic data. This training was jointly organised by IFREMER and the ABIMS bioinformatics platform.
The 25 participants were trained in FROGS (bioinformatics and bistatistics) and dada2 under Galaxy environment.
Various presentations on metabarcoding were given by Olivier Chapleur (IRSTEA, Antony), Raffaele Siano (IFREMER, Brest), Marjorie Couton (Biological Station, Roscoff) and Angélique Gobet (IFREMER, Palavas).
A new article for the ProteoRE project (Proteomics Research Environment) with our colleagues from the EdyP laboratory in Grenoble and with an IFB funding.
In this work we propose a Galaxy workflow to select blood biomarkers for early cancer diagnosis in the case of pancreatic cancer.
Migale's 20th newsletter, Migazette, is now available.
The new Galaxy portal is now accessible at galaxy.migale.inra.fr. You can now connect to it with your migale account.
This migration allowed us to update the configuration of the portal and thus follow the new best practices recommended by the Galaxy community. This revision concerns the configuration of web services, the automatic installation of tools and their dependencies (via bioconda).
Mouhamadou Ba has just been recruited as a permanent engineer in the Migale platfom. He joined the team on October 2019 to develop text-mining services for bioinformatics.
A short self-introduction of Ba
Due to the current health crisis, the planned shutdown from 30 March to 2 April has been postponed indefinitely.
Thank you for your understanding,
