The length limits also forces authors to increase the complexity of their figures to cram as much data into the limited space as possible. I've seen papers with figures that have 10+ graphs all squished into a half page figure. EDIT:

I wonder if that would be cheaper in the long term than the typical NFS plus off site tape backups and/or cloud backup used by the places I have worked. I suspect it would become a logistical nightmare to store and keep track of thousa

There are lots of other tumours that are just as deadly as pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Steve Jobs died of a pancreatic neuroendocrine Tumour. It should not be grouped with pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The former is approximately 7-8% of all pa

With the Novaseq X the cost is approximately $200 a genome. One the current challenges is storing the hundreds of gigabytes of data per genome.

A lot of big research is funded through philanthropy. For example, surgeons and medical oncologist can receive some large donations from their patients.

Parse biosciences and companies have developed methods to perform TCR sequencing without the microfluidics and it will be interesting to see how well it performs. These methods are all based on permeabilizing the cell and keeping it intact

As an interesting aside the UMAP method used to create one of the images in the article is very contentious in the field. There are arguments that the dimension reduction does not show anything useful [1], but is still frequently used in th

I have been playing a MUD sporadically for almost 25 years. It's desolate now which is sad. However, someone occassionaly logs on from years ago and it's great fun. MUDs were my first exposure to a C-like language (LPC) and are wh

There is another nice multi-core gzip based library called BGZF[1]. It is commonly used in bioinformatics. BGZF has the added advantage that it is block compressed with built in indexing method to permit seeking in compressed files. [1] ht

Most of my favorite MMORPG memories are with AC, despite playing WoW for many more years. There was something about the way skills were done and how your character could feel truly powerful. I learned to program because of that game so I

I think some places do have post doc unions and it is sometimes combined with graduate student unions. However, in the places I have been it sadly does not exist.

In addition to terrible compensation, I think another common issue for a post-doc is that they are not afforded the same protections as a graduate student. In the places I have worked the grad students are usually protected by the universit

I am hoping to get some experience with probalistic modelling, maximum likelihood etc. I work in bioinformatics and spent most of my time on algorithms development but probability/stats/ML are becoming the norm now. I find it hard

Thanks for the reply I will definitely go check it out. I don't mind putting in the time and effort and a solution manual will definitely help.

I agree with you about WFA. I was just very impressed when the striped SW first came out when I was still a fledgling PhD student.

These are really helpful too. Another reply to my question suggests a course that looks really good too.

Thanks these are really great. That's a course I wish my CS program had.

I am always amazed at the algorithms re-implemented using SIMD. One of my favorites is the Striped Smith-Waterman approach used for sequence alignment. Does anyone have any good resources on learning to use SIMD? I've found it heard

A lot of institutes are also pressuring their PIs to not only produce novel work but also highly translatable and patentable work. I know of some institutes that want to preview any work a PI wants to publish or speak about in a public venu
