I have published research works in the fields of granular matter physics, network science, machine learning, user interfaces and bioinformatics. But above all I like to create useful systems. I enjoy the process of designing and implementing web based services that stand the test of time. My current project that I dedicate most my time to is an e-book on genomic data analysis:
- The Biostar Handbook - it is modeled by the content on this site and is a comprehensive guide for beginning bioinformaticians.
I am the maintainer of this site:
- Biostar Q&A platform more of a jack-of-all-trades: lead developer, interface designer, database manager, sys admin, dev-ops etc. whatever needs to be done.
Currently I work as a Professor of Bioinformatics at Penn State. Within that position I serve in various roles:
- Director of the Bioinformatics Consulting Center at Penn State
- Bioinformatics instructor
- Researcher and tool developer GeneTrack, and a few others

Answer:
A: Multiple alignment software
... An important detail that should be mentioned here is that none of the alignments you present there are inherently "good" or "bad"
Alignment algorithms maximize a score. The result (if implemented correctly) is the alignment that produces the maximal score. The score is built from the rewards and pe ...

... The clusterprofiler seems like a quite sophisticated tool - a bit overcomplicated in that it is not clear what data goes into it, so one has devote quite the effort to get their data in the right shape and form - but after that looks like it does quite a bit

Answer:
A: Create a gold standard
... Here is a relevant publication: [Is it time to change the reference genome][1]?
In a nutshell, my takeaway is that "gold standard" is not the right nomenclature. We should be thinking about a consensus sequence where every base is a major allele.

... Hello https://www.biostars.org/u/11714/ - your suggestion to list additional learning resources after each chapter is excellent.
We will add that over the next semester.
On new chapters, it is a bit of a challenge to figure out what to cover next. PacBio, single-cell RNA-Seq and metagenomics are a ...
