Meet the 2019-2020 IDSC Fellows on Thursday 1/30/2020

November 9, 2019August 4, 2023

The vision of the IDSC Fellows Program is to inspire a new generation of leaders in computational science to cross the traditional boundaries between disciplines, by equipping them with new cross-disciplinary skills and experience. The Program does this by offering mentorship outside the students’ area of expertise. “IDSC Fellow” is a prestigious designation awarded to two undergraduate students and two graduate students per year. Join us on Thursday, January 30, 2:00-4:00 PM, for the 2019-2020 IDSC Fellows’ project launch presentations. Read more “Meet the 2019-2020 IDSC Fellows on Thursday 1/30/2020” →

LINCS Data Portal 2.0 Update with New Functionalities

November 6, 2019August 8, 2025

In this first major update of the LINCS Data Portal, substantial changes in both the data architecture, and the user interface, are being introduced to enable a deeper exploration of the LINCS data, and to support new integrative and analytical capabilities for both computational and non-computational researchers. The cornerstone of this update has been the decision to reprocess all high-level LINCS datasets and make them accessible at the data-point level enabling users to directly access and download any subset of signatures across the entire library independent from the originating source, project or assay. Access to the individual signatures also enables the newly implemented signature search functionality, which utilizes the iLINCS platform to identify conditions that mimic or reverse gene set queries, and a newly designed query interface enables global metadata search with autosuggest across all annotations associated with perturbations, model systems, and signatures.
