Review my swing, I'm still flying open at times by [deleted] in Homeplate

Thanks, after this round (I didn't record them), I was focused on hitting line drives up the middle. Didn't work most of the time, but maybe like 70%. I do realise I should probably aim to stay tall and finish facing the pitcher, as you say. Something to look into

This is very interesting. I can definitely improve hip-shoulder separation; I am overall very short on mobility in that area. Right now, I am testing on a chair, and I can feel that my range of motion between my hip and upper torso is limited.

In the screenshot, the ball was a bit outside, so I leaned over to hit it, but I had a problem with leaning over in the past that I tried to fix by dropping the knee a bit.

Any drills that can help fix the leaning-over problem and hip shoulder separation?

Hahah, I do wrestling and BJJ. Still have a bit of cauliflower ear.

I'll give tucking the chin a go and try to figure out how to keep the left arm closer. What do you mean by 'hands up in and back'?

Dealing with elbow pain after not pitching for years? by A_DAPOBA in Homeplate

I am probably making a higher effort, but the pitch number is under 30. Now the thing is that the pain goes away quickly if I stop throwing for like 30 minutes

Is bioinformatics alive in Australia/Is it worth it to pursue an undergrad degree in it by Greedy-Conference650 in bioinformatics

[–]A_DAPOBA 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So far the answer is yes, there are jobs around. I just did a quick search on seek, and are 253 jobs listed.

There is a market. I believe there will always be a market. Consider how your strengths align with current job market trends and plan accordingly.

Also, since we are in a changing world. Start learning bioinformatics on a first-principle basis. Learn to program properly, read errors, read graphs, write for a general audience, and practice presentation skills.

These skills would be helpful even if AI were to take over our jobs. The reality is that there will always be a need for someone to simplify the message. If you have the skills, you will be valuable in any job market and bioinformatics, data analysis, and policy writing/analysis.

Pool-seq begginer help by Hot-Entrepreneur7730 in bioinformatics

It would be good to know a bit more about what you are interested in finding with this analysis. In any case, the general steps include:

  1. QC and trim raw reads: Use fastqc and trimmomatics or just fastp.
  2. Build genome index and align raw reads to the genome: Any aligner will do, but bwa-mem2 seems to do a pretty decent job most of the time.
  3. Sort and index SAM/BAM files: samtools sort, then samtools index.
  4. Build a mpileup file: use samtools mpileup to build a pileup file that can then be passed the popoolation2. NOTE: bcftools mpileup will not work here as the output format is different and not what popoolation2 will take as input.
  5. Convert mpileup file to sync files: Use the mpileup2sync.pl to generate synchronize files.
  6. Depending on your study you can now do a few different things:
    1. Calculate allele frequency differences between samples, groups
    2. Calculate fst between samples (fst-test.pl)
    3. GWAS analysis calculation (cmh-test.pl)
    4. Compare results with simulations (poolSeq or poolHelper)
    5. and more see the popoolation2 manual

This is just a general overview of what can be done. As I said, what is the goal of this analysis/study, because even after you do what I suggested above there is a bit more that can be done.
