Only the owner and designated collaborators can view it. We offer private data in the cloud (S3) and are rolling out on-premise in case you want to run Quilt on your own infrastructure, in which case you control blob storage. Does that answ

Which languages are most interesting to you? We wrote the client with an eye towards supporting R and Scala. A PR or FR on GitHub would be ideal. We also have a Slack channel where we can support you if you want to tackle adding language bi

Typo fixed. Thanks :)

GH sign up would be useful. If you email us I will ping you when we add it: feedback at quiltdata dot io.

Agreed. We're considering doing more along these lines, such as generating the Hive DDL. So you would like to browse the schema, e.g. under Contents?

Ah, that would be useful. In the meantime our docs are browsable without JS https://docs.quiltdata.com/ . The articles linked at the bottom of the docs landing page are also legible without JS. Unfortunately the docs menu is

Hi, I'm one of the founders of Quilt Data (YCW16). We built Quilt to bring package management to data. The goal is to create a community of versioned, reusable building blocks of data, so that analysts can spend more time analyzing and

Nary a consideration of the possibility that poverty and cheating were correlated. "Equality" is euphemism for "the world how I arbitrarily want it--facts be damned."

Author here. Questions about data engineering, versioning data, or why you shouldn't use git to store data? :) Ask away. You can also file feature requests or PRs against our GitHub repo https://github.com/quiltdata&#x2

Hi Cassie. Did you feel like you had extra leverage to negotiate equity as employee number one? If so, and if I may ask, did you?

yeah, i'm not planning to "shoot originals" of DNA any time soon. just article headers at the macro-molecular scale :) after your comment i carefully examined every detail of the picture (not just the handedness) and, as a ch

i'd start with the basics of cell biology, gene expression, and Cas-9 (wikipedia would work), then go right into "High throughput functional genomics using CRISPR–Cas9" and work backwards from the paper to fill in the gaps in

thanks for catching that. we swapped out the stock image for a shot of the author's lab. perhaps not as pretty, but certainly not as misleading :) this is not the first time i have been bitten by stock photography. i'm concluding

Hi. In this post we discuss CRISPR as a kind of "GPS for the genome" that allows scientists to explore protein, RNA, and DNA interactions in intergenic regions. This is a cutting edge application of CRISPR. We ran through all of t

that is in part what this discovery is about: how to read out and disentangle the solution from superposition. the roots of the answer to your question are in "shor's algorithm," which is the original proposal for factoring i

the rate of progress seems in fact astoundingly slow. if gene sequencing is outstripping moore's law, quantum computing is underperforming it by a mile. this quantum computer did the same 3 x 5 = 15 factorization that was done ~15 year

really "incestuous"? firebase is/was a YC company, too. it's sad when cronyism trumps reason.

painful. though more an indictment of parse than BaaS. the firebases of the world seem to work better. 20/20 hindsight, when should you have gotten off of parse and why didn't it happen?

for most applications i hypothesize that the cost of writing and maintaining your own backend will far outstrip the cost of the occasional migration. if anything, the pressure is towards frontend:backend isolation, not away from BaaS. (in t

there is also CRISPRa (one of two non-cutting CRISPRs), which can be used to activate and enhance output (incl. transcription) from a select region of the genome = a form of println.

Hi HN. I'm one of the founders of Quilt Data. We've started a blog series on how to run CRISPR experiments. Let us know what you'd like to see in future parts of the series.

"DESIGN JOBS FOR JUST 99 BUCKS PER MONTH" sounds like you're paying designers $99/month :) Seems you mean "We do your design tasks for 99 bucks per month"
