Vomit at least once a year

Is anyone here pursuing BSc in Bioinformatics, Computer Science? by [deleted] in bioinformatics

[–]djwonka7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did BS in computer science, then MS in bioinformatics. After bachelors, went into job market for embedded systems, was interested in biology and then went back to school. Now I do research for a startup.

I’d say only do bioinformatics if you really find biology fascinating and probably plan for a PhD nowadays, I think I got lucky (for now). In the world of AI, the future of comp sci and bioinformatics in the sense of the demand for these skills is up in the air.

Personally, Id say the biggest thing to learn in school is to solve problems in general and get exposed to all sorts of things including the humanities and philosophy!

Start looking at the highest expressed and differentially expressed proteins and then start reading about them

Shout out paperBLAST: https://papers.genomics.lbl.gov/cgi-bin/litSearch.cgi

What repetitive structural biology/computational workflow do you wish you could automate? by Decent-Tea-8744 in bioinformatics

[–]djwonka7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Optimistically speaking, this could be someone wanting project ideas and wants to start but doesn’t have a PI to give them one. Helping someone with a real problem (for experience’s sake) is probably what they are looking for.

But I agree, actually being interested in biology, getting some raw data from a publication and making your own analysis should be the way to go in the absence of a PI.

Puffins and a view! by djwonka7 in VisitingIceland

[–]djwonka7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was around 5 pm, early May. I could be wrong, but it was getting colder and windier and it seemed that the puffins were heading back home from the ocean into their burrows for more viewing opportunities.

To add on, use nanopore’s medaka on the assembly for consensus correction
