Yet even more cross-posty goodness!

If anyone's interested, I've put up a new blog post at Life Science Tools of the Trade. Nothing earth-shattering, just some musings the complexity of high-throughput DNA sequencing data analysis, and the need for clean and clear visualization tools for the end user.

We'll be returning you to the regularly-scheduled wafflings about car racing, as soon as the weather warms up. In the meantime, the Canadian International AutoShow is coming, at the end of February. Stay tuned for the inevitable flood of photos.

Cross Post - Shakespeare and DNA, part II

Hadrian's Wall, 1998

Hadrian's wall. Although Roman, it has about as much to do with Julius Caesar as it does with either Shakespeare, or genome assembly.

Another cross-post to point you over to the Occam's Typewriter Irregulars blog, where I try to explain "genome assembly" the process of putting many fragments of DNA sequence together to make an entire genome sequence. All of this aided by using bits of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

The post is right here: Genome Assembly - a primer for the Shakespeare fan
