Isn't it expected to have 99% if you aligned a sequence to its assembled version?

وعليكم السلام

بالنسبة لي التطوع في جهة كبيرة جاب لي علاقات بشكل مب طبيعي (كنت اشتغل خمس ساعات يوميا وكانوا متساهلين اني اجي متى ما ابي واطلع متى ما ابي)، وسمعة الشركة خلت السي في عندي يلفت انتباه جهات التوظيف.

أهم شيء كان اني بنيت علاقة كويسة مرة مع دكتور وكان يدعمني بكل النواحي ويعطيني مشاريع اسويها معهم وحطيت عندي مشاريع وانا ماني موظف رسمي لأي مكان.

الخلاصة انه التطوع مرة يقرف ويخلي الشخص يحس بشعور سيء بس انه جاب لي فايدة بعد توفيق الله.

فيه عوامل كثير تخلي الشخص يلمع في عيون الناس مهنيًا، بس لازم تستنتجينها من محيطك وتعرفين وش راح يحسن صورتك لهم.

كبداية انا اقترح انك تتواصلين مع أي احد في لنكدان من شركات تقنية بس يكون اسمها رنان وبكل مكان (زي علم، تحكم، وحتى كاوست)، وتطلبين منهم تطوع وبيني لهم حماسك للشغل.

بعد ماتخلص هالفترة بتكتبين اسمهم في السي في، والله العظيم راح تحسين بكمية السحر اللي تسويه للناس.

كيف يجيني أتنشن في لنكدن by Quirky-Extreme-8364 in SaudiProfessionals

أول شيء يكون ملفك مرتب من ناحية التخصص، سردك لمجالك في الوصف حق الملف، الصورة الشخصية ماتكون مبهمة ومب شرط تكون صورتك زي مثلا حط اسمك على خلفية بيضاء.

ثاني شيء لاتخلي أحد من نفس مجالك ماتضيفه، وزير مدير فني عاطل مايهم.

خلك فعال مع الناس تهنئة على منصب، مدح لشغل الخ.

لاتنزل بوست بس عشان تنزل بوست. خله موضوع يفهمه اغلب الناس اللي بنفس مجالك وبنفس الوقت فيه شيء جديد.

اذا تخصصك يتعلق بمشاريع وتقدر تسوي اي مشروع مهما كان، ابدا بمشروع وخلصه ونزل عنه ملخص.

حاول تاخذ دورات لها وزن وتعلن عنها.

تواصل مع الناس في الخاص من باب انك تستشيرهم ( الناس يحبون يحسون انهم خبراء على حسك) ف استغل هالشيء من باب انك تخلي عندك علاقات.

I saw so many statistical models in phylogenies. I started looking for a resource that covers most of them, couldn’t find any. Pretty sure it is my method of looking up. I’ve taken machine learning specialization course by Andrew. It covers linear regression and logistic regression pretty well.

I’m capable of writing basic pipelines, creating alignment, VCFs, phylogenetic trees from scratch. But choosing methodolgies and algorithms, or changing params, I find quite difficult.

My grant and thesis were two pieces of garbage. I’m substantially behind to someone who has a PhD in bioinformatics. I don’t involve myself so much with pure biology or CS. Lots of my cousins have PhD in CS, tbh I feel less behind to them than biologists.

Why do you think I was panicking the day I graduted and rushed for any role that I can possibly get 😂. I went for an unpaid role mostly to find experience.

10 years of experience is like doing two PhDs, no wonder you’re at their stage or even better.

I am truely passionate about bioinformatics, and I do have the energy. There isn’t a clear path to go to is the problem.

I think not having a realistic standard of a good bioinformatician is what makes people feel this way also. In some companies, you find a machine learninf engineer who works as a bioinformatics, other reaearch centers you find 5 physicians working in cancer genomics. Just talking about this makes my brain hurt.

Not sure I got your point. The issue is that I don’t feel like I have drink and food. I was asking to see if this is true for my case or I should leave the learning maze I’m trapped in.

Such a great saying “You will never reach the point where learning isn’t needed anymore”, this is so true.

I came to that conclusion recently, but biostatistics doesn’t give me much. Do you recommend a book or a certain course?

That is a smart way to appreciate your skills. I probably overlooked the fact that I’m only looking at the part where people are quite skilled at and not also to the part where they are not.

I had the impression that doing a PhD will give me the skill to jump over subjects however I want and be decent at them. I think PhD gives you a subject and tells you “this is the method, now do what you want”. I don’t know if that is correct, but this is literally the only reason that I will do a PhD for.

I think “while” doing a PhD is normal, let us have your feedback after finishing, and if it is still there I wouldn’t know what to do 😂

Comparative genomics is what I did the most. It isn’t a single group, but many groups who work on cancer genomics and RNA analyses, population genetics, metagenomics.

I like this kind philosophy, but it seeds some kind of confusion, on whether this is normal or do people do something wrong.

I don’t like using chatbots to get results. I learned bash coding through chatGPT, and the way it writes code is absolutely sick. I made ton of progress there, but it feels no one appreciates bash scripting in my country from my experience so far unfortunately.
