| April 06, 2012 | Mapping transcription factor binding sites |
The Marc Facciotti lab at UC Davis published A workflow for genome-wide mapping of archaeal transcription factors with ChIP-seq. This paper demonstrates a novel ChIP-seq workflow for mapping genome-wide binding sites of natively expressed transcription factors in archaea. Gaggle software features prominently. |

| November 23, 2011 | Niche adaptation by expansion and reprogramming of general transcription factors |
Experimental analysis of TFB family proteins in a halophilic archaeon reveals complex environment-dependent fitness contributions. Gene conversion events among these proteins can generate novel niche adaptation capabilities, a process that may have contributed to archaeal adaptation to extreme environments. |

| July 15, 2011 | GaggleBridge: collaborative data analysis |
Florian Battke, Stephan Symons, Alexander Herbig and Kay Nieselt at the University of Tuebingen published a paper on their GaggleBridge software. GaggleBridge transparently extends Gaggle to allow data exchange between users at different geographic locations using network communication. GaggleBridge can automatically set up SSH tunnels to traverse firewalls while adding security features. GaggleBridge is available as open-source software at http://it.inf.uni-tuebingen.de/gb. |

| June 13, 2011 | The Gaggle Systems Bioinformatics Workshop 2011 |
The Institute for Systems Biology hosted a workshop focusing on interoperability between bioinformatics software tools, bringing together over 40 software developers and scientists for discussion and collaboration. The format was one day of talks, followed on the second day, by a hackathon, a forum for coding, discussion, informal presentations and collaboration. Thanks to all who participated! Visit the workshop site for more information. |

| May 09, 2011 | The Big Science Challenge With Biofuel: A Chat with ISB’s Nitin Baliga |
Talk to any biofuels entrepreneur, and you are likely to hear a passionate riff on why their technology trumps all the up-and-comers. Some, like San Diego-based Sapphire Energy, say you’ve got to harness free sunlight and the magic of photosynthesis, to grow oil-rich algae in open ponds at the scale of modern agriculture.
