We just posted a new preprint (well, ok, a few weeks back)! The preprint title is "Crossing the streams: a framework for streaming analysis of short DNA sequencing reads", by Qingpeng Zhang, Sherine Awad, and myself. Note that like our other recent papers, this paper is 100% reproducible, with all …

The other day I was contacted by someone whose student wants to attend the MSU NGS course in 2015, because they are interested in learning how to data integration with (among other things) metagenome data. My response was "we don't cover that in the course", which isn't very helpful ;).
So …

On March 19th and 20th, the Center for Open Science hosted a small meeting in Charlottesville, VA, convened by COS and co-organized by Kaitlin Thaney (Mozilla Science Lab) and Titus Brown (UC Davis). People working across the open science ecosystem attended, including publishers, infrastructure non-profits, public policy experts, community builders …

On a recent west coast speaking junket where I spoke at OSU, OHSU, and VanBUG (Brown PNW '15!), I put together a new talk that tried to connect our past work on scaling metagenome assembly with our future work on driving data sharing and data integration. As you can maybe …

I'm returning from a small, excellent meeting on "Open Source, Open Science", held at the Center for Open Science in Charlottesville, VA. We'll post a brief meeting report soon, but I wanted to share my particular highlights --
First, I got a chance to really dig into what the Center for …

Two weeks ago, I ran a workshop at UC Davis on mRNAseq analysis for semi-model organisms, which focused on building new gene models ab initio -- with a reference genome. This was a milestone for me - the first time I taught a workshop at UC Davis as a professor there! My …

I've been putting together a streaming API for khmer that would let us use generators to do sequence analysis, and I'd be interested in thoughts on how to do it in a good Pythonic way.
Some background: a while back, Alex Jironkin asked us for high level APIs, which turned …
