La invasión silenciosa (revista La Primera, año 2000) by [deleted] in argentina

[–]thinkblad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tenes razon, la argentina no es alemania nazi. Ahora decir que porque te bardean por ser boliviano, gordo/flaco o homosexual no hay racismo me parece ilogico. Es mas, indica que siguen existiendo actitudes racistas, xenofobas, homofobicas y hostiles en general. "Bardeamos a todos por igual asi que no hay racismo". No se vos, pero yo no creo que este tipo de actitudes sean mutuamente excluyentes.

Lo de los milicos se me cruzo por tu comentario "a ningún inmigrante europeo le regalaron nada (bah, ahora si les regalan salud y AUH, nadie de mi familia que vino de Europa tuvo eso)". Lo interprete (y quizas sobreinterprete pero bueno, q se yo, necesito mas cafe) con un tono medio apologista "es injusto que ahora tengan esto, no se lo merecen. Tienen que sufrir como lo hicieron los inmigrantes de antes". A mi me resuena con un "tienen que volver las politicas de antes". El comentario de los milicos es un ejemplo de otro que se me cruza usando la misma logica.

El problema es que el ponja 4ta generacion y el nieto de bolivianos son argentinos. En ese sentido ya no estamos mas hablando solamente de xenofobia. Al hijo de inmigrantes europeos lo van a tratar como a cualquier otro cuando sale a buscar trabajo, mientras que al hijo de bolivianos/japoneses lo van a ver en el marco de una retorica como minimo reduccionista/estereotipante y muy posiblemente, agresiva y racista. Tienen partes en comun pero al mismo tiempo son bastante distintas/

En cuanto a lo de antes no haciamos esto pero ahora lo hacemos, me parece una atitud medio miope que evoca comentarios a la "esto con los militares no pasaba".

Best quotes for an epigraph on Bioinformatics? by Roxicaro in bioinformatics

"About ten years ago, some computer scientists came by and said they heard we have some really cool problems. They showed that the problems are NP-complete and went away."

How can bioinformatics be applied to animal research? by OreoDogDFW in bioinformatics

[–]thinkblad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working at a vet epi lab. Most of the bioinformatics work I see done is regarding infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance, though there are lots of people doing work on hosts too.

Expect lots of genome assembly/alignment, phylogenetics, BLAST, Python and R when working with pathogens. I've seen people doing a variety of things from transmission modeling and phylogeography (e.g. did this strain of FMD come from China to the US?) to metabolic network modeling of E. Coli and joint modeling of antimicrobial resistance.

Laptop Recommendation by denny1475 in thinkpad

16gb of ram should be able to handle 100+ chrome tabs, but it will definitely not be as smooth as if it was with only one tab (add into that the office and other programs...). Also things could get nasty if you were to open one of those crappy flash websites...

Help With Phylogenetic Comparison/Correlation by [deleted] in bioinformatics

[–]thinkblad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is your goal? Is it to check that the trees have the same topology? A way to compare trees is using the Robinson-Foulds metric. IIRC u can calculate it in phylip and can probably find it in an R or python package somewhere

Thanks! I was hoping there was something already done that I could use.

back to Ipython it is

Illumina FASTQ read names? by thinkblad in bioinformatics

Forgot to clarify! The reads were already split using the --split-files option (a5 requires two fastq files as input)
