It will also change the process from the perspective of an author. If you are not fully sure about the impact of your publication, you might start submitting it to the journal with the highest possible impact. And, after a rejection, contin

One should point out that there were several previous large-scale initiatives to characterize human tissues and cells on a molecular level. For example, GTeX [1] provides gene expression profiles from 54 tissues. However, thanks to single-c

I was wondering that, too. But: > Shapiro said that she had already completed a key first step in the project — fully sequencing the dodo’s genome from ancient DNA — based on genetic material extracted from dodo remains in Denmark. >

Note that there is already an application that helps people identify, based on DNA analysis, who they should NOT date (Islendiga-App). However, I cannot imagine that the opposite would provide any practical nor useful application.

If you have re-sequencing data of model species (which applies to >80% of generated sequencing data), the storage issue is often solved using CRAM/BAM formats. The FASTQ can be reconstructed if unmapped reads are stored in the file.

The best fit is probaly the Oxford Nanopore MinION. However, it would still be good to have a range of lab equipment available.

A while back I built a linux box for bioinformatics and was happy with the performance [1]. You might need to look for suitable main boards to support your RAM requirements, though. [1] https://www.ecseq.com/blog/2020&#

Emacs - getting better since 40+ years. Ripgrep - Fast & exactly the results I need. Google Chat (!) - simple and just works.

Wow. I am a customer myself and like the service. Yet, I am surprised by the size of this investment, as it doesn't look like a venture case to me. Wishing Alan and his team the best.

I can confirm this. We work a lot with hospitals. When we want to let them try our services behind ngrok domains, they are often blocked. Unfortunately.

If you are coming from the computer science angle, I can recommend "Computational Molecular Biology: An Algorithmic Approach" by Pavel Pevzner.

I have a practical example to explain what, at first glance, doesn't seem to add up. Many genomics analysis contain a step to clean up DNA sequences. For this "Read Trimming" step there exist no fewer than 40 open source tool

Great post - which contains the answer to many of the questions raised in this thread. I am working in this area as well. There is "next to zero demand for tool development" because there are great open source tools. Only in rare

1. There is a large corpus of scientific publications. 2. Thanks to scihub et al, it is possible to download them en masse. 3. It is now feasible to train good language models on a large text corpus. 4. Wouldn't it be interesting to se
