That's not really a silly question :) Drugs act on proteins which are little machines in the body, the instructions of which are encoded in our genome. The slight variations in our genetic code leads to some proteins having slight vari

Is there something like this for Python, other than iPython notebooks? edit: just found a couple if anyone is interested ( https://github.com/AndreasHeger/CGATReport , http://mpastell.com/pweave/ ,

You still can! You just can't ask them to interpret the results for you. 23andMe will still give you access to your raw genetic variant data, they just won't tell you what it "means", simply because what they say might b

Anybody have experience moving from AWS to Google Cloud? If so, did you have any surprises in terms of difficulty or cost?

Looks like we're getting pretty close to solving the sequencing problem... the next massive challenge is in using genetic code to actually understand health. If you're an engineer looking for some meaningful work, SolveBio wants t

I have a site called TwitterAudit (twitteraudit.com) that started as a side project. We just started making a bit of money on it from paid re-audits. The site gets about 40k uniques/month. There are about 150k registered users and abou

I've used those notebooks too! Now I use Muji notebooks. They are pretty nice http://www.muji.us/store/stationery/notebooks/recycled-paper...

I find a notebook and pen works best for me :) Otherwise I save markdown files to dropbox.

One of my side projects (www.twitteraudit.com) happens to get the most traffic of anything I've ever built on my own :) It gets 50k+ uniques per month and all the traffic has grown organically (mostly via tweets and blog posts). It&#x2

It's relatively simple actually. It just what's called a "codon map" to map "codons" (3 letter sequences) to amino acids (the building blocks of proteins), just as ribosomes do in cells. Here's a codon map

You don't actually ever need to explicitly specify the controller in Angular views. Usually in angular apps, the controller is specified by the routing provider (in JS), along with the view (template path). In small examples (ie when not us
