What does it mean to live a good life? Philosophers have written about this questions for thousands of years, and very often we find surprisingly up-to-date answers and suggestions in texts as old as 2000 years.

Just wanted to make you aware that the deadline on Sep 15 for the chemical information mining postdoc position in my group is approaching quickly. For more information on the position, please refer to http://www.steinbeck-molecular.de/steinblog/index.php/2011/07/10/opening-for-a-postdoc-in-my-group/.
We now have an opening for a postdoc position in my group in collaboration with the group of Dietrich Rebholz-Schuhmann at the EBI. The position is funded for three years by the EIPOD scheme at EMBL. The proposed work combines methods from image recognition (OSRA, Filippov2009), cheminformatics (CDK ,Steinbeck2003), chemometrics (Gkoutos2003) and text-mining (OSCAR3, Corbett2006, Tiago2009) to […]
ChEBI release 80 is now available puttygen , with 25,518 fully annotated at the highest 3* level. We have an old friend as our entity of the month this time: The Electron.
I know this title is going to bore the hell out of most of you. We had this religious fight about Linux, Windows and Mac OS and other OS’s for the last 20 years and longer 🙂 I’m right now sitting in a conference, like almost every week, and right now, as in many cases […]
Rafael Alcantara in my group, together with our collaborators at the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics, has released version 69 of our enzyme nomenclature database IntEnz and version 22 of our biochemical reaction database Rhea. News: 11 new sub-subclasses and 49 EC numbers have been added to the enzyme classification. Over sixteen thousand unique reaction identifiers. […]
Chemical Entities of Biological Interest (ChEBI) is one of the free, yet fully curated databases in Chemistry. It is developed by my team at the European Bioinformatics Institute in Hinxton, Cambridge, UK. As of 09 May 2011 we now have ChEBI release 79 online, with 25,238 fully annotated three star level molecular entities. The term ‘molecular entity’ […]
We have an open position for an interdisciplinary postdoctoral fellow as part of the EMBL Interdisciplinary Postdoc (EIPOD) scheme. The successful candidate will work in my group (cheminformatics and metabolism) in collaboration with the text mining group headed by Dietrich Rebholz-Schuhmann.We are going to exploit text mining, image recognition and cheminformatics to extract chemical knowledge […]
