The Deadly Genomes is a visualization of the size and structure of genomes of viruses and bacteria that are agents of prevalent human diseases. Their genomes are visualized as a path, and each organism is spaced on the poster according to the incidence and mortality of the disease.

December 2009 saw the 10th Anniversary of the Genome Sciences Center. Some commemorative swag was handed out, among which was a stainless steel water bottle with the following image.

The image contains a barcode called QR Code (learn more) which encodes the names of all current employees at the Center.

Lexical analysis of 2008 US Presidential and Vice-Presidential Debates indicates that the speech patterns between candidates (especially those paired in a debate) are extremely similar and that the complexity of vice-presidential candidates is lower than presidential candidates (uniqueness is lower, repetition is higher).

Palin has the longest sentences, Biden repeats himself the most and has the smallest vocabulary, while patterns for Obama and McCain are eerily similar.

The bioinformatics Perl workshop offers courses to help you learn Perl and apply it to your work. We have courses on introductory Perl, intermediate Perl, and others. Learn how to use map, grep and sort more efficiently or how to perform data analysis at the command line. The workshop is open to the public (given at the GSC 570 W 7th location) and all slides from each lecture are available online.
