More genetics than genomics, but a cool introduction [1]! There's a lot of subtlety in genomics analysis, and learning about all of it is a deep dive into chemistry, biology, and statistics, as well as a lot of literature search. One

Usually the grad student does most of the work, but the ideas and direction comes from the supervisor. It's normal that the supervisor funds, directs and communicates the work that's being done. More often than not, the supervis

My constitutional knowledge on the German constitution is a bit rusty, but I guess you hit the nail on the head when you say: 'Naturally, the allies had to agree'. The Allies were the ones that required these conferences and appr

I find it interesting how Japan and Germany both have a constitution that was essentially written by Americans after the second world war. But there is a big difference in civil liberties between these countries. E.G. If the police charge y

These drugs will be registered as an orphan drug, it's a rare disease this guy is writing about, his sheet estimates 200 living individuals in the US. These days, many if not most drugs are registered that way. The author assumes an or

Perhaps it's just too dangerous to do it at night. You have hardly any visibility in low level flying. The pilot may not be insured in this time (it's likely very expensive), or the pilot is not licenced to fly helicopters at low

Actually, I’m not implying that. What I’m implying is that this department uses images of public figures for them to give good examples of individuals. As said in my previous comment, Depardieu is a well known public figure, and he allows t

I don't see the point of disdain, Depardieu is a relatively well known Russian citizen and also a French public figure, so if you want someone from outside of the EU visa agreements, perhaps it's a good example of an individual li

I guess I'm part of academia in the Netherlands, doing a PhD and teaching students. I have seen students who 'game' the system, but our job is not on the line if we refuse to play ball. This is likely only so because our univ

Unlikely: google has a 2017 revenue of 109.65 Billion US dollars. that's up to 5 % (conversion rates guessed) of it's total REVENUE. This will hurt their profits even more. A fine of this magnitude really makes the difference betw

This sounds a lot like regulatory capture [1]. It's becoming more and more clear that the institutions that were / are(?) great at ensuring the safety of the public have been undermined by special interest. For a really striking e

From the pdf "3 Worstsort: the final solution" Reminds me of a German statistics professor that taught me the basics of contemporary statistics. This guy would often say "final solution" with a thick German accent, which

I think there is one reason why western governments are opposed to Huawei systems in their communications networks. Western governments have historically had more trust in the US being a partner they can rely on, which is not the case (yet)

Your comment is a very nice example of whataboutism. Let's remain on topic about two crashes, with very similar characteristic, with two brand new aircraft of the same model. This is unheard of in this day and age of stellar aircraft s

China is hardly starving, though. I think we're (The world as a whole) blindly running into a state of boundless surveillance. In former East Germany, many people did not mind being watched by the StaSi initially. But it became so perv

Is there something special about the software in new Boeings? Dual engine failure is nothing to sneeze at, and should never happen. Airbus also had its fair share of software errors in history, but if we count the recent Lion air crash as s

I disagree. Acts that you do can be powerful and dangerous therefore your acts should be within the law. This includes your speech. If the law inhibits your free speech too much, you should target the law, and not free speech. If you can ki

This proposal is very bad. But luckily it is only a proposal. The council and parliament will still vote for this, before it becomes European law. Both bodies will likely oppose, and the proposal will be significantly amended. I honestly d

I agree, the comparison with CRAM is in the whitepaper of MPEG-G. But the author of the blog has some more recent posts, where he is very skeptical of the claims made with respect to the CRAM format. It's worth the read.

Probably that certain base sequences are more likely to occur together than random. If you account for this, it'll help in your compression.

Slightly off topic, but after reading a couple of pages from the pamphlet I don't think I'm going to change to a lisp like language anytime soon. My choice of language is between Python and R. I'm in a position where I can fr

To be fair, the predictive power of many different polygenic risk models is very low. (Source: doing a PhD in Genetics atm.) So this does not really surprise me. Usually about 50% of variance can be explained by genetics, and 50% by environ
