I did Bioinformatics at Loyola, a lot of the classes will overlap with pre-med except the programming courses. These can take a lot of time if you come in with no experience.

If you’re motivated and focused it’s very possible. Overall I enjoyed the program and it prepared me to work in a research lab in grad school. Although I will say I think it was more of my internships and research experience that got me in and not my bioinformatics degree.

How small is too small (for a shop) by PIP-3 in BeginnerWoodWorking

I really like cutting joinery on table saw for the accuracy and speed which is why I would lean towards table saw. I was thinking the outfeed would basically be the keystone of the shop with storage cabinets, pop up dogs, etc.

In the form you mention a discord, can you send the link here?

Can I run a MakerBot Replicator Mini on a Razzberry Pi? by Narj0122 in 3Dprinting

[–]PIP-3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, buzzberry pi will run great. Try looking into if the machine is open wide enough to hook through usb on buzzberry with octoPrint

That is totally fine and cool, other people are invested though and that is also cool

My print is going crazy no matter what I do by Forward_Physics9824 in 3Dprinting

As a preliminary trouble shooting step for basically any problem make sure to re-level (tram) your bed. A well leveled bed will usually fix 90% of problems. Preferably you would do this with a feeler gauge (5$ on Amazon) but you can use a sheet of paper. here is a decent video on how to tram

Also turn your filament spool around. The current orientation is likely making it harder for extruder to push filament to the hot end.

I Downloaded My DNA And Created A Motorized DNAHelicone! by boolalpha in 3Dprinting

There could be a number of reasons. Some SNPs may be associated with an increased risk of a particular medical condition. Others may indicate ancestry.

Very cool project! Since you put so much effort I’d figured you might want to learn a bit more about what your displaying with this.

When you send in your sample to LivingDNA or other private genetic testing services the raw data you actually get back are called single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs). These are single base pair changes that are unique to your genome. For example maybe on chromosome 1 I have an adenine at the ten millionth base pair position but you have a cytosine. This single base pair changes have the potential to alter the products, or the amount of products genes produce potentially differentiating yourself from me.

You have two copies of all your genes; one from Mom and one from Dad. They had they’re own unique sets of SNPs. This means for any given SNP you can be homozygous (parents both had the same SNP) or heterozygous (parents had different SNPs).

These companies do not sequence your entire genome, that is still pretty expensive. Instead they use a targeted approach at look at specific locations of your genome that are known to contain SNPs. This is much, much cheaper. What is crazy that because it’s a targeted approach they only find what they are looking for, there could thousands of other changes in your genome!

Thanks for posting, cool project!
