    Complete bioinformatics newbie here...hello

    So, as the title implies, I am a complete greenhorn when it comes to bioinformatics and have much to learn. I am also just learning how to use the terminal on a MAC. I am a brand new graduate student here at the University of Kentucky and am working on Sea Lamprey genomics and development.

    I will probably be posting a lot of softball questions in these forums out of desperation so please keep that in mind when I make posts that seem "too easy". Other than that I am determined to master everything I need to know to do bioinformatics and to learn all that I can. Hello!

    Spend a few hours here to get the basics of unix/file systems under your belt. Would be useful for the rest of your working life :-)

          Nine Things a Sample Prep Scientist Thinks About Before Sequencing
          by SEQadmin2


          I’m not a sequencing expert. I’m a purification scientist who uses NGS to evaluate workflows my group develops. With this perspective, we think about the sample first and the NGS workflow second. The sequencer is an exceptionally honest reporter, but it can only report on what you give it, so whether you get clean, interpretable data from an NGS workflow is largely determined before you begin.

          Here are nine questions we think about, in roughly the order they matter, before...

          From Collection to Sequencing: Why Sample Preparation and Preservation Define Sequencing Data
          by SEQadmin2


          Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.


          The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
