“The genome is a blueprint of an organism. In order to manipulate cell cultures or measure things like gene expression, you need to know the genome of the species — it makes more research possible.” Yury V Bukhman #Sequencing #FearlessScience morgridge.org/story/all-crea…

really love when authors do things like explain equations in-line with colors etc... just makes papers so much easier to read.

Second, the implementations of basic analysis functions in Seurat and Scanpy, are completely discordant. Consider, e.g. the differences in DE p-values from the standard Wilcoxon test. 👀

It's crazy that these programs are the foundation for an entire subfield of biology. 4/

Here is a video of my Nile rat genome talk for the Rat Omics Consortium: drive.google.com/drive/u/0/fold…

I have been invited to give a talk about the Nile rat genome at the Festival of Genomics in Boston on October 5. See festivalofgenomics.com/boston/en/page…

Huh, my blog post on Shannon's Source Coding Theorem wound up on the front page of Hacker News!

How's everyone doing?

I'm excited to be able to finally bring you new episodes of the bioinformatics chat, hopefully as early as this month! In case you've unsubscribed, be sure to re-subscribe not to miss them.
