This week I gave a pub talk on the UCSC Genome Browser. It was the first time I’d tried a more general-public version of this. It was huge fun. And it was great timing to have this example of 5000+ samples from autism families to make the case about how hard it is to visualize all this data we are getting. But I also talked about microbes. I even mentioned to goat genome. The benefits and the trip-wires of misuse of personalized data were covered. We touched on restoration of extinct species. So it was a lot like this post, actually…. But I didn’t have the threat to GINA until today. Alas–I would like to have included that. I can’t believe we’re back there.
Welcome to our Friday feature link collection: SNPpets. During the week we come across a lot of links and reads that we think are interesting, but don’t make it to a blog post. Here they are for your enjoyment…
