Which mutation are you talking about?

I have found that the post meeting notes written by at least two persons then consolidated and improved by others really do help. Recordings while better than nothing would have to have transcripts in order to be usable. Hard to watch hour

In any Excel sheet everything is mixed up: you got raw data, calculated values, formulas, formatting, plots etc. With a Jupyter notebook you have these well separated, and there is a little chance that someone somehow changed the font in on

IMHO instead of ramming a square peg into a round hole one may think of switching from Excel to i.e. Jupyter notebook(s). Keep the raw data separate from the calculations/visualizations and get a more trackable environment. You may al

Even with plain text CSV files one can detect that a given cell was changed, have md5 checksums of files, etc. In a day to day use where users often share their edits using emails just figuring out which is the correct and most recent copy

If one has to write a program to check if a user did not screw up cut and paste from one sheet/column/whatever it would be IMHO easier to just skip Excel, user and just write a script automating error prone C&P in Excel. If so

I guess the subject in question was not put in a prison cell where 800 kcal was handled through a controlled opening? The 130kg person burning just 800kcal/day is something highly suspicious. I am not sure if would be enough to lie in

While we do burn some extra calories rebuilding muscles after say long session of cardio your numbers (at least for running) for 70kg person are OK. There may be also an appetite suppressing effect of exhausting training sessions. There is

The subject did sleep at their homes, which means the noise level was not controlled, and it seams not even measured (no noise word in the article). The effect may be real, but I would like to see it corroborated in a more controlled enviro

Stringing up a pipe with a mix of awk, tr, sed, cut, sort, uniq etc. is certainly not more readable than a Python script with comments not invoking any of these but using Python's data structures, or even data frames/SQL.

Air heat pumps obviously are way less effective when the temps outside are negative. The ground heat pumps work better, but the installation costs are the barrier. The silly thing is that even on a sunny winter day an air pump uses a fairl

We have such a thing (some Mitsubishi model I will check later on if needed\) at home in Catalonia. Works OK, but the house despite being well isolated in general has a weak spot: dark external blinds. Without some external shading these wa

I second that. Without taking notes/diagramming no mere mortal can handle nested 9 levels just in the brain. And somehow I doubt that the OP colleagues are doing just that either. The diff between people being stuck and progressing is

Compression of FASTQ files can be greatly improved by sorting/clustering the reads. I use clumpify from BBMap for that. The bad: clumpify does not support zstd at this point.

In many areas planting new trees without a stable source of already scarce water may be pointless. So, yes, desalination on a large scale will sooner or later would be necessary. At the same time idea of "provide more water, skip the

by elmolino89 4y ago
From German Wikipedia the albedo of water changes a lot with the angle. Oceans already are "dark" when hit by sunlight at +45degs angles. So it may not be that important.

270B trees @22kg/year, right? You cut them down each year and replant, or assume that there are no trees locking up 22kg CO2/year for more than 1 year?

Not if you got the plastic using fossil fuels and extra energy. Which is the case for most of the non-degradable plastic. Add to it that we are nowhere close to replace various types of plastics with materials obtained from non-fossil fuel

Yes, moors would help. I remember that during some floods in Europe one of the ideas floating around was to construct large polders which will be flooded as needed. No clue if catching up flood waters that would be enough to turn such polde

Yes and no. Meaning: depositing fertilizer close to the shore in shallow waters causes toxic algal blooms and suffocates everything. One needs deep, cold waters so the sinking organic matter is not decomposing rapidly. And yes, if the winds

Sure. Some genes were retired because there was not enough support. Earlier Ensembl versions used older genome assembly. Which means: some genes "jumped" from one chromosome to another, or got properly stitched residing before par

The thing is we do not live in ordinary times. Last summer temperatures made many established trees in the cities close to getting killed. Anything with less developed root system and without regular, generous watering probably fared worse.

While using the software packages released last week may not be the greatest idea, I am leery of any research paper using 10 years old genome assembly, Ensembl annotation release in the 40ish (we are at #105 ) or clearly outdated program ve

bgzf has a clear advantage when it comes to sorted BED/VCF/GTF formats, especially if one does index these. But frankly I have no idea if it may improve IO times for the fastq files when read by say bwa or another mapper. Do you

Apart from tuning up the compression you may gain a lot by clustering reads in FASTQ files using clumpify from BBMap: https://jgi.doe.gov/data-and-tools/software-tools/bbtools/bb... You may also filter out du
