Very skeptical of this study. Here's the full text: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-79429-1 . The first thing they did was a proteomic screen of the study participants' blood samples to identify pro

I'm no expert, but my understanding is that the quality of the tool depends a lot on the specific application, and that much domain-specific customization and post-processing can be necessary to do OCR well. So you may get better advic

Ideally research does get reproduced from scratch; I think what people usually mean when they talk about the replication/reproducibility crisis in science is not being able to reproduce an experiment with new samples, independent data

It is. That's why much of the WGS action these days is not is sequencing individuals in the clinic, but rather in large-scale population studies like UK Biobank. These are aimed at identifying interesting genotype-phenotype relationshi

There are a handful of sequencing-based genetic tests that have achieved fairly wide penetration; NIPT and cancer panels are probably the best examples. However, if the question is why whole-genome sequencing has not gained wider clinical u

Francis Collins and Craig Venter certainly got a lot of the publicity, but arguably there are others who were more influential. E.g. Leroy Hood who developed the first automated DNA sequencer, and Mike Hunkapiller who led the commercial dev

Most sequencing methods do use DNA polymerase to effectively copy the DNA while reading out the bases that are being incorporated. However, even when the genome is being replicated in vivo, the polymerase doesn't just copy the entire c

What I took away from MMM was less concrete, actionable suggestions you can implement, and more "things to watch out for" in the development process. Things like the second system effect, and Brooks' Law (adding people to a l
