I could totally make a post here, couldn't I? -
Why yes, it still exists.
I see my last entry is about a year old at this point. [sigh] Maybe I'll get back to writing the bioinformatics series after MileHiCon. -
Because people are stupid
So I see LJ has a new interface that looks like a mash-up of FB/G+/Ello/WTF and the pointless "portal" sites that never seem to go away. So far we can use the old interface; wonder how long that will last. If they try to force everyone onto the new style, I suspect there will be nothing keeping us holdouts here, at all. [sigh] -
Bioinformatics: sequences and stuff
Pinning down exactly where bioinformatics got its start is tricky business--you could make a good argument that it goes back a century or so, to Fisher's pioneering work in population genetics--but in the modern sense, it mainly goes back to gene sequencing, which started in the 1970s and has been happening faster ever since. Think about how much ( Read more... ) -
Bioinformatics: what is all this, anyway?
At a few people's requests, I'm going to try to start writing semi-regularly about what I do. I can't promise how often I'll post, but I will do my best. Questions are welcome.
Okay. My capsule definition of bioinformatics is "the computational analysis of biological data." The Wikipedia article is also a pretty good place to start. But both ( Read more... ) -
So this Ello thing everyone is talking about ...
If only there were a social network with an easy-to-use interface, lots of customizability, fine-grained filtering for posts, and no particular policy on usernames.
If only. -
The exciting life of the bioinformaticist.
Babysitting my computer while it crunches lots of numbers to try to find the one datum that's giving it fits may qualify as SCIENCE, but it sure doesn't feel like it. :/ I really want to get back to doing something with the results of all the number-crunching, you know?

My first reaction on seeing the headline ...
