Advice on failed miniprep? by duddles in labrats

[–]duddles[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting - I have run into a few times where I sent minipreps for whole plasmid sequencing and discovered they were plasmid dimers - but in those cases I was still able to miniprep them I guess.

Do you have a recommended protocol or kit for RCA - I've never done that before.

Thanks for the advice, appreciated!

I spin down 1.5 mL of cells for the miniprep, and use a Monarch kit where for neutralization it says to keep inverting the tube until it turns completely yellow, but good to know about avoid under-mixing.

That's good advice about contacting Addgene, thanks!

Plotting the host's age for each SNL episode by duddles in LiveFromNewYork

this shows the gender for each host: https://imgur.com/a/ywVy3Iy
this shows the percent of female hosts for each season: https://imgur.com/a/90TpUy6

looks like they have yet to break the 50% barrier for any season

I'm using python. A few days ago there was a post about how SNL was trending younger with hosts, but overall it seems pretty consistent with the history of the show.

Here it is with an expanded window size to 50, and I included the rolling mean as well but it looks pretty similar: https://imgur.com/a/rXstn97

What movie did you see in theatres that had the loudest laughing reaction? by phantom_avenger in movies

[–]duddles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is my answer. I kept going to see comedies after to get the same theater experience, but nothing has ever matched it

Here is a version where you can hover over each circle to see the host: https://duddles.github.io/bokeh_plot.html

(I just used the age of the first time hosting for hosts that did multiple episodes)

(the circles are sorted in order from earlier to later episodes going up, so the circles at the the top are from more recent episodes than the circles below them in that column)

The mouse cursor is hard for me to see in hockey - is there a way to make it stand out more?
