Three rejections in one week!! Am I becoming evil? #PLoS

Dear evolutionary biologists/bioinformaticians around, what's your favorite tool to calculate ds/dn (ka/ks) ratio?

#editorial_adventues Isn't it weird when the author suggests 4 reviewers, and two of them decline: one for conflicts of interest and the other because it's not his area!

Really good review on group A Strep switch to invasiveness http://www.nature.com/nrmicro...

#evergreen11 Currently at the 19th Evergreen Phage Meeting's pre-meeting PhAnToMe workshop, which suddenly converted into a non-phage talk. We won't be able to let people test the tools :(

Why doesn't my ff forward to Twitter anymore?

#IGDM workshop starts with one-slide introduction of each participant. I like putting my career in one slide http://bit.ly/ICiSiGDM

Some one in Ludwig-maximilians-universitaet Muenchen is regularly accessing my CV page. I'm curious on who & why. Any hints?

#Nature's Scientific Reports live... Editorial Board has ZERO members from Egypt http://www.nature.com/srep... #Fail (cf. @PLoS ONE has THREE)

Anybody has access to these paper? http://www.begellhouse.com/journal... and http://www.expert-reviews.com/doi... ? Really need them

The Twitter share button in #PLoS ONE seems to be broken

Interesting... This page "http://alchemytechniques.biz/" has a chunk plagiarized from http://amzn.to/g2ZN2U (or vice versa, albeit unlikely)

Is http://www.ideaconnection.com/ spam?

My talk is supposed to be in 10 min, but there's already about 20 min lag, and they're even calling for a break #MemphisSummit

#MemphisSummit Keynote6: The family-of-4 story created a media buzz http://discovermagazine.com/2011...

#MemphisSummit Keynote6: family with two rare genetic diseases > Miller Syndrome (limb malformation) AND ciliary dyskenesis (lung disease)

#MemphisSummit Keynote6: Sequenced a family with a recessive disease at Complete Genomics (http://www.completegenomics.com ) then did the analysis

#MemphisSummit Keynote6: will talk about genome sequencing of a family of 4 members

#MemphisSummit Keynote6: "Genetics in the age of sequencing: converging on complexity" by David Galas, Institute for Systems Biology

#MemphisSummit Brad Silver: after identifying the functional gene targets via literature, we start to extract coding SNPs from dbSNP --> use mixture of common and rare variants

#MemphisSummit Brad Silver: we still can identify the unknown using the known genes in literature

AGAIN! #MemphisSummit Brad Silver: Warfarin biomarkers

#MemphisSummit Brad Silver: Matrix of weighted words -> identify implied (unknown) relationships

#MemphisSummit Brad Silver: Artificial intelligence here is latent semantic indexing used in Computable Genomix applications. We thought, why not use our tool to do science

#MemphisSummit Brad Silver: identify biomarkers for exponentially less time and money

#MemphisSummit Brad Silver: We take a top-down approach. Start with 1.5 million abstracts -> develop targeted genotyping assays based on functional pathways

#MemphisSummit literature already has lot of info, why analyze it AFTER the experiments?

#MemphisSummit Brad Silver from Computable Genomix is talking about using artificially intelligence for targeted genotyping (i.e., designing better GWAS)

#MemphisSummit short talk about cross-species genomics

#MemphisSummit Keynote4: codeine-induced drug mortality is another area that needed pharmacogenomic analysis
