Hi Everybody!

[starvinggradstudent]

Hello! I'm new here. I'm a grad student pursuing a degree in infectious disease. I am mainly a bench scientist doing whole genome sequencing. I'm good on the wet chemistry angle, but I will be lurking and asking questions here on the bioinformatics necessary to assembly, annotate, and analyze/compare the genomes. I appreciate the help and I look forward to learning from all of you!

Edit: From my short time lurking I can see that "pipette jockey" will be my apropriate title, since that describes me to a T. I can generate data, but my quest to learn how to analyze it begins today!

Good luck.... Sadly I miss the starving grad student days. It never seemed like much fun but in retrospect it was a great experience.
