RNA-Seq: A brief history - Seven Bridges Genomics. Top Bioinformatics Contributions of 2012 « Homologus. Homolog.us blog is written by professional janitors dedicated to clean up US science.
During lunch breaks and other time off from the job, we discuss bioinformatics. The name 'homolog.us' is not a spelling mistake, but is derived by taking Arabic translation of the 'O' in the original word. Please follow us on twitter – @homolog_us. Dear readers, two weeks back we asked for your suggestions for best bioinformatics innovations of 2012. In addition to topics covered in our blog over the entire year, we received several other good suggestions by email and in the comment section. That was lot of work, but then we faced the dilemma of how to judge between topics as diverse as a very good alignment algorithm and an excellent educational resource in bioinformatics. Please feel free to discuss in the comment section, if you do not agree with our choices or would like to suggest other interesting contributions missed by us.

To stay up to date with our commentaries, please follow us on twitter here Today we are reviewing and cleaning up the blog links at the right sidebar. The following three blogs are the ones most visited by us. Living in an Ivory Basement It is a blog maintained by Titus Brown, a Professor from Michigan State University. Why do we say so? The blog is updated once a week, but many updates have enough value to keep you thinking for weeks. NGS – Stuart Brown The blog is maintained by Stuart Brown, an Associate Professor at NYU School of Medicine. RNA-seq Blog This blog provides daily updates on published algorithms and research results related to RNA-seq. Openhelix. Us. ENCODE leaders published their latest propaganda piece in PNAS - “Defining functional DNA elements in the human genome” and Dan Graur has done fantastic work of tearing it apart.
@ENCODE_NIH in PNAS 2014: In 2012, the Dog Ate Our Lab Notebook and We Had No Laxative to Retrieve It Instead of rewriting his blog post, let us comment on random samples from here and there in the article. —————————————————————Marketing Your Science, LLC We never had honor of writing papers with co-authors from ‘scientific’ organizations like above. That leads to the questions of how much of the PNAS paper is science and how much is ‘advertising’ (i.e. half truths and systematic efforts to hide the negatives)?
—————————————————————Proposed Future plan In the last paragraph, ENCODE tells us what their next ‘big science’ scheme is going to be. The data identify very large numbers of sequence elements of differing sizes and signal strengths. That is downright scary !! On Functional Elements ENCODE clowns wrote -
