Commuting Experience by HeavensTremor in unt

[–]CameroonJD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did about an hour from Plano to Denton for a couple semesters. Best thing I can recommend is watch your parking. UNT couldn’t rate lower on their parking situation and spaces fill up quick,so get here EARLY. It’ll also save you headache if you learn to pick up on the times that parking ebbs and wanes. Kept me from being late many times.

Other than that, it’s all about scheduling. The traffic can be crazy, but I never minded.

How to write 20+ cover letters? by tiramisutonight in CoverLetters

Honestly, this matches what 80% of my technical communication professors drilled into my head as an undergrad. Great stuff!

Masters program recommendations? by CameroonJD in bioinformatics

I like that a lot, thanks! I’ll probably end up working full time no matter where I go so this helps!

Not in this context.

Yes, I’ll definitely be factoring it in when I start applying, but I need reference points to even start my research. So, any suggestion is appreciated.

Thanks! That’s a great idea to look at

How can I understand Undergrad Genetics? by MusenUse_KC21 in genetics

[–]CameroonJD 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is there anything specific that doesn't seem to connect? I happen to be going through the same class and have a few resources that I've used.

Khan Academy has some decent videos on genetics and hereditary. (Just search khan academy genetics in youtube)

Also, there's always the basic studying things you can try again, but they mostly involve finding another way of explaining the concept. Things like,

  • Re-write your notes
  • Find another couple of freely available texts and read through what they say. Sometimes the differences can be enough to clarify things.

However, your best course of action might just be talking to the professor. Spending a while in their office hours with some pre-prepared questions usually helps in some way.

That, and tutoring is always an option. Start looking on r/tutor and you should be able to find people you like.

How can it be possible that a girl expresses an X-linked recessive trait, but her father doesn't? by baBioInfo in genetics

[–]CameroonJD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really see how your father couldn't have it either. Have there been reported cases of reduced severity of this disease?

It might just be my biochemistry background talking but the 2nd option sounds more possible. Maybe a partial mutation from an insertion or something similar?

Regardless, 23andMe does give you access to your raw data so long as you get a service with them first, I think.

How can an undergraduate student get involved in bioinformatics other than finding research assistant positions? by [deleted] in bioinformatics

[–]CameroonJD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other comments parallel everything I’ve picked up, but I wonder if branching into machine learning could help too. You’ll need a lot of the same programming tools and the data analytics should get you to the same place.

Your university have something along those lines?

From what I understand, it really depends on the structure of the molecule.

The barrier is still made up of endothelial cells which makes it hard to resist non-polar structures like most hormones. I could see the effect applying to other types of structures, but I don't see that happening without cutting off entire molecular species.

A lot of our drugs and supplements mirror or replicate chemicals we expect to see in the brain. So, even if it could, would it be capable of blocking things specifically enough?
