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. We also went through all 2012 issues of nine major journals, read the abstracts and shortlisted few more papers that seemed interesting. Additionally, we checked all 2012 posts of four bioinformatics-related blogs we follow to make sure nothing is missed. 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. 1. SEQanswers Home.

The blog is updated once a week, but many updates have enough value to keep you thinking for weeks. NGS – Stuart Brown RNA-seq Blog Openhelix Tree of Life Getting Genetics Done. 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 - Q1.
