From thomas.f.hahn2 at gmail.com Sun Jan 4 04:39:59 2015 From: thomas.f.hahn2 at gmail.com (thomas hahn) Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2015 21:39:59 -0600 Subject: [Chicago] Help with finding tutors for Python, Linux, R, Perl, Octave, MATLAB and/or Cytoscape for yeast microarray analysis, next generation sequencing and constructing gene interaction networks Message-ID: *Help with finding tutors for Python, Linux, R, Perl, Octave, MATLAB and/or Cytoscape for yeast microarray analysis, next generation sequencing and constructing gene interaction networks* Hi I am a visually impaired bioinformatics graduate student using microarray data for my master?s thesis aimed at deciphering the mechanism by which the yeast wild type can suppress the rise of free reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by caloric restriction (CR) but the Atg15 and Erg6 knockout mutant cannot. Since my remaining vision is very limited I need very high magnification. But that makes my visual field very small. Therefore I need somebody to teach me how to use these programming environments, especially for microarray analysis, next generation sequencing and constructing gene and pathway interaction networks. This is very difficult for me to figure out without assistance because Zoomtext, my magnification and text to speech software, on which I am depending because I am almost blind, has problems reading out aloud many programming related websites to me. And even those websites it can read, it can only read sequentially from left to right and then from top to bottom. Unfortunately, this way of acquiring, finding, selecting and processing new information and answering questions is too tiresome, exhausting, ineffective and especially way too time consuming for graduating with a PhD in bioinformatics before my funding runs out despite being severely limited by my visual disability. I would also need help with writing a good literature review and applying the described techniques to my own yeast Affimetrix microarray dataset because I cannot see well enough to find all relevant publications on my own. Some examples for specific tasks I urgently need help with are: 1. Analyzing and comparing the three publically available microarray datasets that can be accessed at: A. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE41860 B. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE38635 C. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE9217 2. Learning how to use the Affymetrics microarray analysis software for the Yeast 2 chip, which can be found at http://www.affymetrix.com/support/technical/libraryfilesmain.affx 3. For Cytoscape I need somebody, who can teach me how to execute the tutorials at the following links because due to my very limited vision field I cannot see tutorial and program interface simultaneously. A. http://opentutorials.cgl.ucsf.edu/index.php/Tutorial:Introduction_to_Cytoscape_3.1-part2#Importing_and_Exploring_Your_Data B. http://opentutorials.cgl.ucsf.edu/index.php/Tutorial:Filtering_and_Editing_in_Cytoscape_3 C. http://cytoscape.org/manual/Cytoscape2_8Manual.html#Import%20Fixed-Format%20Network%20Files D. http://wiki.cytoscape.org/Cytoscape_User_Manual/Network_Formats 4. Learning how to use the TopGo R package to perform statistical analysis on GO enrichments. Since I am legally blind the rehab agency is giving me money to pay tutors for this purpose. Could you please help me getting in touch regarding this with anybody, who could potentially be interested in teaching me one on one thus saving me time for acquiring new information and skills, which I need to finish my thesis on time, so that I can remain eligible for funding to continue in my bioinformatics PhD program despite being almost blind? The tutoring can be done remotely via TeamViewer 5 and Skype. Hence, it does not matter where my tutors are physically located. Currently I have tutors in Croatia and UK. But since they both work full time jobs while working on their PhD dissertation they only have very limited time to teach me online. Could you therefore please forward this request for help to anybody, who could potentially be interested or, who could connect me to somebody, who might be, because my graduation and career depend on it? Who else would you recommend me to contact regarding this? Where else could I post this because I am in urgent need for help? Could you please contact me directly via email at Thomas.F.Hahn2 at gmail.com and/or Skype at tfh002 because my text to speech software has problems to read out this website aloud to me? I thank you very much in advance for your thoughts, ideas, suggestions, recommendations, time, help, efforts and support.

Personal challenges aside, nearly all the results revealed positive experiences. Non-24 sounds horrible, Randy--just googled. Health problems will always interfere one's ability to perform. I had emergency back surgery this year and that certainly effected my ability to write code, train for the next Olympics, and world domination might be unreachable at this point. If something like this goes wrong with the program, I hope you guys reached out to the 'T', our mentorhsip program director, so your mentor (tee) could be given someone who was able to participate. Be sure you ask yourself before time if you really have the bandwidth. The program would typically take 1 hour a week; however, coordinating, getting there, and staying well, are sometimes harder than it seems. We will have another mentorship program soon. I do suggest if you sign up you take it serious. If life gets the way, please reach out so that you are not having a negative impact on the person you are paired with or the program as a whole.

It is rather more a synchronazation and formatting problem. For the most part I just do not bother to even try to communicate with folks who have no ability to hear what I am saying. This past week I sent an obit to a funeral home who told me the file was corrupted. The file was just fine. It was just Free Libre's format so Windoows ( so not Open ) thought it corrupt. The online format of Coursera and Charles Severance has been totally refreshing to this Non-24 person.

Your words are greatly appreciated. When I was younger, non-24 was not known much less treatable. Because I am almost always at a time in my "day" than others I have always seemed a little off. Being up 36 hours before going to a 5am meeting or getting up in the middle of my "night" to go to a night class. Big Iron and 24 hour data centers were the perfect place for me. Companies loved me because I could stick to a problem that required 48 hours of dilegence or I could turn around a run that erred off at 3 am. When taking a Coursera Course the content is often left available until the course is offered again so I can sign up for it then work through it though not having the assignments count. Then I can sign up for it again and turn the assignments in on time. As I grew older doing things outside of my what my body wants to do became impossible but the treatments and meds in general now keep me close to a 24 hour schedule about 75% of the time. I too look forward to Wednesday and especially to seeing Valentina's progress.

Shout out to O'Reilly Media for sponsoring the prizes! But we can do better than the best and we will! Drumroll please: ChiPy is happy to announce the start of the ChiPy Python Mentorship Program 2015! Please sign up to be a Mentor/Mentee - http://bit.ly/1zy1hSW before February 12th, 2015. So if you are looking for some help to get started with Python programming or want to do data science with Python, or web development with Python or just take a deep dive into the guts of Python - sign up as a Mentee. If you have had some experience with Python and are eager to help others by sharing what you have learned - become a Mentor! Based on what I have heard from our participants the last time, both mentor and mentees had a very enriching experience learning from each other. The program will run for three months from Feb 15th, 2015 to May 15th, 2015. At the end of it, the M/M pairs will present their work like last night and the most achieving M/M pair will take away the glory of the Best M/M Pair!

The app I intend to write is basically be a math blog with some interactive demos leveraging numpy/scipy. Well, that and anything else that my interests wander towards. To that end, I was wondering if the group could offer any opinions on free sites to host python web apps and an appropriate web frame work to use. At this point, I'm leaning towards Python Anywhere, as they are obviously Python centric. But, if there others hosts I should consider, please let me know. For a web frame work, both Bottle and Flask seem nice enough and look easy to start with. Are there big distinctions between the two? Does Flask's dependance on external libraries cause any odd implementation practices? Does one have a much larger following than the other? Will I learn more by using one or the other? Thanks in advance for your advice, Aaron From wirth.jason at gmail.com Sun Jan 25 23:17:20 2015 From: wirth.jason at gmail.com (Jason Wirth) Date: Sun, 25 Jan 2015 16:17:20 -0600 Subject: [Chicago] Opinions on Python Anywhere and Python Web Frameworks In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Aaron, I give 2 thumbs up for Python Anywhere (I'm a paying customer). There is a free hacker account if you just want to demo it. Library and framework support is great -- it's easy to set up and get going with multiple frameworks so you can try them out and pick the one that suits you best. They also support for Numpy, IPython and the scientific stuff which could be important if you run a math blog. As far as interactivity, they power the interactive demo on Python.org.) They provide a ".pythonanywhere" but you need to bring a domain to the party to run multiple apps. Also, I think they have about 10 minutes of downtime to reboot servers every once in a while -- probably not a deal breaker for you, but could be for some who require guaranteed 100% uptime. If you want to publish a math blog on a static host look at using Pelican as a static site generator and IPython notebooks. Jake uses that to publish his SKLearn stuff. (See this as an example: https://jakevdp.github.io/blog/2013/12/01/kernel-density-estimation/) Best, Jason -- Jason Wirth 213.986.5809 wirth.jason at gmail.com On Sun, Jan 25, 2015 at 3:43 PM, Aaron Elmquist wrote: > Hello Everyone, > > I've been learning Python for a bit now and I'd like to try writing a > small web application for fun.

Add to that list for old legacy IBM programmers how to add packages using linux. I have obviously gotten some things in the wrong place. I have individually gotten the second list of imports. I think it possible a lot of individual modules though did not load during these processes or in loading statsmodels. Here in the attachmentsis the current state of my fun in Pycharm. I think I need some day long workshops in making linux and Pycharm work for me. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
