Bio::Blogs 19 is fast approaching, hot on the heels of Bio::Blogs 18 which was hosted by Michael Barton. I'll be hosting this one over at O'Really? and publishing it at the beginning of March, so send any interesting stuff to bioblogs /ate/ gmail.com. The broad theme of this issue of BioBlogs will be the relationship between Biology and Engineering, following on from this interview published on Edge.org "Engineering and Biology": A Talk with Drew Endy.

Here it is, complete with PDF (760 KB). Tired now. Enjoy.

It's almost time for the monthly compendium of bioinformatics-oriented material from the blogosphere that we call Bio::Blogs. I'll be hosting this month so send your submissions to the usual bioblogs <at> gmail <dot> com. Remember, you can send one of your own posts or recommend someone else's.

The official publishing date is August 1st (Wednesday), but I may delay until Friday 3rd, depending on other commitments this week.

Updated: Friday 3rd it is, so there's still time to get those submissions in!

Welcome to the 12th edition of Bio::Blogs, a monthly blog journal covering bioinformatic related blog posts. This month officially marks 1 full year that Bio::Blogs has been running (we skipped a month along the way). In the last couple of months Bio::Blogs has been sticking around Nodalpoint but I was hoping that other people could now give it a try at hosting this in their blogs. Also, maybe we could find a different (and easier) way of voting for blog posts to include. I was wondering if we could somehow get feeds like the stared Google reader items or link blogs or social bookmarking feeds from several different people together to come up with an automatic selection from the individual filtering done by everyone.

The PDF version of this month is a bit late so I might update this post once I get around to doing it or I might just skip it this month (depending on time availability).

Welcome to the 11th edition of Bio::Blogs, a monthly round-up of bioinformatics related blog posts (with some additional -omics and open science flavors). The PDF version for this month can be found here for offline reading. For the curious, the previous PDFs for Bio::Blogs #8,#9 and #10 have been downloaded 50, 83 and 100 times respectively. This edition has two special sections. The first one is dedicated to tips and tricks for bioinformatics and it is hosted separately in Bioinformatics Zen. Thanks to Michael Barton for having the idea and for organizing it. The second section is dedicated to personalized medicine, mostly because there were many posts about it during this last month. Both of these have separate PDF versions. The one on personalized medicine can be downloaded here. The PDF for the tips and trips section is available from Bioinformatics Zen (it looks awesome).

As we near the end of the month I will be collecting posts for Bio::Blogs #11. I am posting this reminder a little sooner than usual because this month Michael Barton from Bioinformatics Zen volunteered to edit and host a separate special section dedicated to tips for computational biologists. Anyone can participate in this section as well by sending some sentences with your own tips to him by email (mail at bioinformaticszen.com). This section will be posted on his blog and the main Bio::Blogs issue will be posted here in Nodalpoint, both on the 1st of June. Submissions for Bio::Blogs#11 can be sent to bioblogs at gmail.

In two days I will try to put together the monthly round-up of bioinformatic related blog posts here at Nodalpoint. Anybody can help by submitting links to blog posts they found interesting during the last month to bioblogs at gmail. As in the previous months I will make a an offline PDF version if the authors give permission to re-use the blog post, so please say so on the email if it is your own content. Previous editions of Bio::Blogs can be found in here.

Bio::BlogsUpdate: Pedro posts on blog round-ups (aka carnivals), morphing into blog journals.

Just in case you have been busy like me or maybe just new to Bio::Blogs, Pedro has once again done some sterling editorial work and posted the Ninth Edition of Bio::Blogs. Apart from this months edition, the are a few good comments on the last edition regarding relevance of blogs and blog carnivals to bioinformatics. I don't want to see Bio::Blogs (and all Pedro's hard work) vanish into the aether, so I'm happy to see nodalpoint become a semi-permanent host of a monthly blog round up under the Bio::Blogs banner. Any further thoughts on the future Bio::Blogs ?

Bio::Blogs is a monthly bioinformatics and computational biology blog carnival.

Update: The 8th edition has now been posted, enjoy !

Pedro has announced the final call for submission for the 8th edition of Bio::Blogs. Send links to your favorite bioinformatics blog posts to bioblogs[at]gmail[dot]com. For this edition Pedro will be compiling a PDF copy of the submissions for offline reading.
