Janelia Journal Club #2

in science on 6 July 2011

Summary

The second presentation that Alyson and I gave during the Janelia Undergrad program, it was a brilliant paper that used Hidden Markov models to build a predictive algorithm that could tell you what chromatin states you were in.

bioc218: predicting co-translational pausing with neural networks
14 may 2013 | science
Wanted to share my final paper for bioc218, a computational biology class i t[...]ook this winter 2013. We were tasked with choosing a particular technique, algorithm, or any material discussed in the class and exploring it in more detail. Neural networks seemed particularly interesting—and not just because i'm a neuroscientist. I wanted to use machine learning algorithms to improve predictions for the project i am working on in Judith Frydman's lab.

citizenship, war and social networks
09 september 2012 | essay
Scott Adams recently wrote about citizenship and how the Internet [...]will bring the fall of territory-based national governments, and by extension wars. In this post I briefly highlight where he errs and give reasons why country divides will only grow sharper in the coming decades, in part due to competition for dwindling water, oil and other resources along with increasingly fraught intranational civil relations.

book review: the power broker
17 september 2015 | books
As has been stated many times, Robert Caro has written a tome that will show you in minute detail how a man manipulated the law, people, an[...]d money to obtain, use, and abuse power in quest to reshape NYC. It is absorbing, thrilling, informative, and much more. Read this book.

bash scripting: youtube downloading macro
17 may 2013 | programming
<p> Once again, the command line is the root of all that is good in the world. This time, it has helped improve on a long[...]-standing issue for me: what is the easiest way to get a copy of all the <a href='http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmku2swCXQpqWAZSscjV4h9bcLennVcif' target='_blank'>luscious melodies</a> i hear on youtube? Courtesy of <a href='http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/' target='_blank'>youtube-dl</a>, a nifty little command line utility, this problem has been solved. However, every once in awhile it throws errors and i wanted a wrapper bash script to take care of this and some other processing. I'll briefly go over the code. </p>
