This is border line academic imperialism. The founders seem to think that software engineering and data science applied to biological data will provide insight that traditional biology has not found. Unneccessary screening from a single d

>Other, more 'exact' sciences seem to not have this problem I'm not sure of this. By 'exact' disciplines I'm assuming you mean disciplines of science more dependent on mathematical proofs. A CACM paper a l

Numerous reports over the past several years have elluded to the 'sixth' extinction. We with this paper, and others there seems to be a lot of evidence that many species are rapidly reaching extinction. There is a well known spec

>Saying other scientists do not do contribute as much (or even at all) is incorrect in my opinion. I did not mean to blanket that other scientists do not contribute. And you might be right, my sentament was certainly fast paced and not

Your making very large leaps and bounds here. And misquoted a lot of what I said. "Founder of quantum mechanics" - I didn't say founder. I said one of the founding members; Planck, de broglie, einstein, von Neumann. I don&

I agree with the reviews from credentialed users. People should put their names on the arguments for or against a paper, and let others evaluate them in return. I like pre-print services, and I wish they would go one step further and allow

Forever ago. Science and Nature are in the top 10 rated impact factors for life science journals. Other than NEJM (top rated), the nature derivatives round out most of the top ten as well (nature genetics, nature reviews, etc...). I thin

Illumina claims they can do $1k/genome using their latest HiSeq X Ten technology. But a miSeq or nextSeq cost more and produce less throughput. The author states ~70GB of data for $3.1k That could be two lanes of a MiSeq or a 1/

The article touches or at least hints to ploidy level. The author talks briefly about being a carrier of a disease. But as you state, it is devoid of the 4D structure leading to the central dogma of molecular biology (DNA->RNA->Prote
