From thomas.f.hahn2 at gmail.com Sun Jan 4 04:54:28 2015 From: thomas.f.hahn2 at gmail.com (thomas hahn) Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2015 21:54:28 -0600 Subject: [Python Edinburgh] 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.

I have a few announcements to make: # New Website (behind the scenes) Over the holiday, I redeveloped the website in Django, so we can put details of our events on there. I haven't yet replaced www.pythonedinburgh.org with it, but hopefully that will happen later this week. # Code of Conduct We now have a code of conduct for our events. It's not controversial - it says be polite to other members, and respect their wishes if they ask you to stop doing something. It also makes it clear who to talk to if something horrible happens at one of our events (hopefully it never will). Preview at: https://mighty-inlet-4698.herokuapp.com/pages/code-of-conduct/ # New Events We're a lot bigger than we used to be, and it's becoming apparent that we need to do more than chat in the pub once a month. It was great to see members self-organise project workshops last month. So: ## Project Workshops (approx every 2 weeks) This is an opportunity to work on your own project, surrounded by other developers who may be able to help you (or may need your help!). The first one is next Monday evening at Appleton Tower. I'll get the event up on the website once I've confirmed it with Douglas Houston. The format and frequency are a bit experimental at the moment, so don't be surprised if they change around a bit. ## Rotating Events (monthly) The monthly slot on the 4th Tuesday of each month will become a rotating slot, hosting one of Pub Meetup, Tech Talks, or Code Dojo. Upcoming are: * January: Pub Meetup (as usual) * February: Tech Talks (one or two talks about Python programming) * March: Code Dojo (the same format as the dojos we've hosted up until now) ***** Thank you everyone for making 2014 as successful as it was. I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens this year! --Mark -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

As you correctly guessed, "linear" has a technical meaning here, which I'd explain in my talk. I don't think there's anything stopping you from using GAs to solve a linear optimization problem, but linearity means that more efficient algorithms are available, like the simplex algorithm Adriano alluded to. My tentative outline was - explain what's meant by "linear optimization problem", and give some examples, - walk through the process of solving a couple with Python and cvxopt, - if time permits, sketch how some of the solver algorithms work. My hope is that at some point in the future you'll be wrestling with some tricky problem, and then say "Wait! This can be rephrased as a linear optimization! I know how to do this!"

A laptop and some sort of Python interpreter would be a start. Just to be clear everyone - this is a self-learning experience where everyone gets together and helps each other on their own chosen problems. I'm not going to be standing at the front giving a lecture or walking you through the steps of an exercise. As I said at the start, I'm as much a beginner as anyone and if I'm the only "mentor" coming then we'd all better be ready to teach ourselves. So it would be a good idea to get clear in your mind what your chosen problem is and what tools you will need to bring to work on it.

Unless we se a big sign we should head for the 8th Floor? We should bring a laptop and a python book if we have one. We should think about a problem we would like to solve(or perhaps one we have solved to show to others). We should preinstall a python interpreter and maybe a IDE, if we can. Then we make it up as we go along? Cheers Glenn ________________________________ From: Edinburgh [mailto:edinburgh-bounces+glenn.bald=forestry.gsi.gov.uk at python.org] On Behalf Of Douglas Houston Sent: 12 January 2015 10:58 To: Python Edinburgh Subject: Re: [Python Edinburgh] Python Workshop/Support group Edinburgh I suppose it depends on what your chosen problem is. A laptop and some sort of Python interpreter would be a start. Just to be clear everyone - this is a self-learning experience where everyone gets together and helps each other on their own chosen problems. I'm not going to be standing at the front giving a lecture or walking you through the steps of an exercise. As I said at the start, I'm as much a beginner as anyone and if I'm the only "mentor" coming then we'd all better be ready to teach ourselves. So it would be a good idea to get clear in your mind what your chosen problem is and what tools you will need to bring to work on it.

However, beyond that, there are a number of technical recruitment agencies up here - I was put in touch with FanDuel through the recruitment agency "Harvey Nash", so it's probably worth getting in touch with them and any others with your CV. I can't give you any advise on visas, but hopefully someone else can. Good luck with the job hunt! Tom On 15 January 2015 at 21:13, Santiago Basulto wrote: > Hello guys.

I need your help. Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi Santiago! Pythonista from Brazil that relocated to Scotland. I can't help with the info about the visa. I came here because my wife got a PhD offer. Here there's some info about getting a tech visa: https://www.gov.uk/tier-1-exceptional-talent/eligibility The python scene is good in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Not so much elsewhere AFAIK (Please prove me wrong!) I've started the Python Dundee group but so far I've seen very few python jobs there. It is a lovely country!

If you haven't been before, it's a friendly social gathering for people who are interested in Python at any level. Use it as an opportunity to get tips about jobs, solutions to problems, or just to talk about things you're interested in! There will be printouts of the Python logo on the table to help any newcomers to find us. This will be our last pub meetup until April, as we will be running talks next month, and a code dojo in March. Hope to see you there! --Mark [1]: http://www.thepottingshededinburgh.co.uk/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
