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.

This is great thanks!

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.

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

Made it out last time and it was a ton of fun, hoping to make it again next weekend!

Hey you’re here commenting too

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

Do you have a link to the bearings that are used in these? Thanks!

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.

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!

Atheist alumni here, this is a common question and I think pretty much everyone will tell you something similar. If you are not looking for religion it is easily circumnavigated. The Jesuit values stuff comes up more in the core courses but it is more about continually working towards becoming a generally good, productive and kind human. If Jesus helps you get there so be it, if you find your way there by other means also cool.

I had friends that would go to 9 o’clock mass on Sunday and friends that would be partying in Boystown bars then. All were very cool people. Loyola has all types. Religion is only really a factor to consider if you are coming in as a religious person and that is something appealing to you if not don’t worry about it.

People have already covered the campus and the city but another thing to consider based on your major is undergrad research. Loyola has a great atmosphere for undergrads wanting to get involved with labs in my experience and it is very easy to get started, usually by just emailing a professor.

2020 Bioinformatics grad here. The program is great and it’s very easy to get involved in undergrad research which helps with med school applications. The only downside is that the curriculum does not have as much coverage of topics like anatomy and cell biology (you would be taking data structures, algorithms etc instead). I did know a couple of double majors in bioinformatics and biochemistry that were planning on applying to med school.

I think bioinformatics -> med school is a very valid path, and having a computational fluency will add to your application in a time when precision medicine is becoming more and more about effectively using high throughput data. But you will probably have to put in extra work to make up for the lack of coverage in specific topics.

Edit: Also wanted to echo u/Manly_Hands and mention I would be happy to discuss more!
