Register Now for Webinar: Unlock Rapid Analyses Across the Whole PDB Using BinaryCIF
09/29 
Register for the November 4 Webinar to future-proof your data analysis with BinaryCIFAs macromolecular structures available through the Protein Data Bank (PDB) archive continue to grow in complexity and size, traditional text data formats like PDBx/mmCIF and the legacy PDB file format are becoming increasingly inefficient for transfer and parsing. To support scalable data analysis, binary formats and compression techniques are now essential.
Join our one-hour workshop to future-proof your data analysis with BinaryCIF, a fully interchangeable yet drastically more efficient flavor of the PDBx/mmCIF format. BinaryCIF not only boosts storage efficiency, but also substantially improves parsing speed, making it ideal for large-scale analyses. BinaryCIF is supported by resources such as RCSB PDB, PDBe, and AlphaFold DB.

Who Should Attend and Key Takeaways
This webinar will benefit bioinformaticians, data scientists, and structural biologists who want to
- Understand the basics of the PDBx/mmCIF schema
- Access BinaryCIF files and related APIs on RCSB.org
- Programmatically consume BinaryCIF data and convert between formats
- Compute archive-wide statistics across the entire PDB
- Gain hands-on experience with our Python parser
This webinar is part of the ISCBacademy series.
