Friday SNPpets

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…

  • Arrogance will get you everywhere – Including hot water: “Venter’s unfamiliar quotations” (old but amusing from BioTechniques – I’m catching up on some reading…) [Jennifer]
  • Boy, this is a song we hear over and over….and it’s a drag: RT @iGenomics: RT @pjacock: AT #ISMB: Lots of funding for data generation, some for #bioinformatics tool development, almost none for training. But needed [Mary]
  • RT @eurogene: wld be interested to read feedback on this: Microsoft offers scientists data analytics tool http://cnet.co/nqCzRg [Mary]
  • How research directions are actually chosen: RT @szintri: Sad but true: @phdcomics http://bit.ly/nORjtb . I’m just lucky my advisor wants me to research such exciting things! [Mary]
  • RT @ewanbirney: Gotcha’s in genomics. 10 mistakes you don’t have to repeat (unless you really want to!) http://bit.ly/oN2mBk [Mary]
  • Interesting conversation on bioinformatics poster design–be sure to link to the original post about the poster too: RT @DoctorZen: Review and critique of a lovely conference poster by @bioinformatics: http://bit.ly/r0AyZl New at Better Posters! [Mary]
  • Speaking of posters, 10k Genome project offers tweets about a nice one in which they are mentioned [edited]: RT @Genome10K: Genome 10K Project on Poster.pdf sponsored by BGI and Science AAAS (application/pdf Object): http://bit.ly/p6qCCB [Mary]
  • Incredibly easy to create my profile here, and I was surprised that Google Scholar had my collection despite various forms of my name (with/without full first name, initials, etc): RT @szintri: Google Scholar now has profiles that auto-identifie your new publications, track citations, and calculate H-index: http://googlescholar.blogspot.com/2011/07/google-scholar-citations.html [Mary]

Hi Mary,
Just want to clarify that the poster mentioned by the Genome 10K Project Tweet is not owned by G10K, but was mentioned on the poster, which is sponsored by BGI and produced by Science AAAS. So sorry for the confusing Tweet! RF
