Roundup of links to interesting reads from the last couple of weeks.

I recently sketched out some notes on random placement of genomic intervals. Here I show a more concrete implementation

In doing so, I found some issues with my EndNote references library that had gone unnoticed before since they were tucked away in the reference list. One of the issues involved citation of a paper with a single consortium author, designated …

I've seen plenty of great seminars in grad school but I've also experienced my fair share of seminars that were...less than phenomenal. The content of the talk was interesting, and the speaker's presentation was engaging, but there were a couple of things on top …

I gave a group meeting today on my iLocus work, and got some good feedback from the group.

We submitted a genome paper to Genome Biology over the weekend. I'm going through our repository and tidying things up, and I realized I have not had a chance to record my notes on several of the supplemental tables providing a comparison of genome features across seven species. I'll go ahead and do so here.

My first research blog was a self-hosted Wordpress blog run from an Ubuntu server in our lab. I was initially enamored by the supposed control and flexibility this gave me, but when I changed institutions a year or so later I was not quite as enamored with the work that went into migrating the content, nor the time I spent …
