生命情報が莫大なデータを占有するのは、マクロな事象とミクロな原理との境界面で、データを意味のある主体として電子信号に記銘する知性という秩序行動の、それを内包する生命システムへの自己繰り込みから生成されるランダム構造の顕現の一面を投影しているのかもしれない。




□ What, exactly, is a paradox?: パラドックスとは実際にはどういう事なのか?
http://oxford.ly/rxS7Sb #philosophy
Quine (1966) offered his classic characterization of the notion of paradox, a taxonomy for paradoxical arguments and some vocabulary for discussing them. In this article, I shall generalize Quine’s taxonomy and defend a simpler characterization. The simpler characterization will have the virtue or the flaw (as might be) of making paradox a matter of degree.

□ Distinct Genetic Architectures for Male and Female Inflorescence Traits of Maize
 :トウモロコシの雄蕊と雌蕊の花序の差異を決定する遺伝子構造

>> http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pgen.1002383
We compared the genetic architecture of thirteen maize morphological traits in a large population of recombinant inbred lines. Four traits from the male inflorescence (tassel) and three traits from the female inflorescence (ear) were measured and studied using linkage and genome-wide association analyses and compared to three flowering and three leaf traits previously studied in the same population.

Effects from joint linkage (top) and GWAS (bottom) analyses are grouped by trait categories and scaled as in Figure 2.
花序を特徴づけるQTL及びSNP頻度(Joint LinkageとGWASのKolmogorov-Smirnov検定による)
Inflorescence traits have larger effects than flowering or leaf traits across a range of QTL and SNP frequencies (Figure 3; Kolmogorov-Smirnov test p<10-16 for joint linkage and GWAS), and ear traits have larger effects than tassel effects (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test p = 0.004 for joint linkage and p<10-15 for GWAS). </font>





BlasBenito:
Scientific Software Development Is Not an Oxymoron (PLOS Computational Biology) j.mp/vH2hBn
We are starting with the premise that scientific software development brings together different cultures. A “certified technology stack” might mean a robust n-tiered architecture to some and an expensive waste of resources to others. We want to avoid fanning controversy over interdisciplinary science [4,5] and misunderstandings inherent at the interface between engineering and science.

□ Solving Uganda’s budget puzzle: OpenSpending & Publish What You Fund’s Uganda Visualisations Featured in the Guardian. shar.es/oY3Dc (Open Knowledge Foundation)
Even in countries where national budgets are relatively easy to access and analyse, aid spends are all too often the crucial, missing pieces of the puzzle, creating huge headaches for governments and civil society groups eager to make sure precious resources are wisely spent.


Part of the challenge is that developing countries, on average, receive aid from an increasing number of donors. While in the past a country might receive aid from two or three, now it more likely has to deal with dozens, each with different sets of priorities and different ways of allocating and reporting aid.

ウガンダだけでなく、アフリカ全域で進められているOpen Access事業とか、開発国で実験段階にあるインフラソリューションを、途上国のガバナンスの整理や予算の透明化、福祉サービスに臨床的に応用していくという試みは、旧態然としたシステムに閉塞する先進国との明暗を分ける可能性もある

IT業界では、優秀な研究・技術者がネットや勉強会などでプレゼンスを示していて、それが企業の技術レベルの高さの評判になっている事実がある。バイオもそうなるべき。営業さんの顔しか見えず、優秀な技術者の顔がみえない企業は、低価格なうえ技術開発も持っているBGIなどに淘汰されているだろう


切実。日本のゲノムシーケンス市場って対競争的商業基盤に乏しく、理研等に代表される著名機関・企業への受託解析が主要シーン。Complete GenomicsやBGIの安価で良質なマスプロに対しアドバンテージがあるとは言い難い。ハード部分で追いつけないなら、人材と連携にベットするしか

a novel approach?NOISeq?that differs from existing methods in that it is data-adaptive and nonparametric. Our results reveal that most existing methodologies suffer from a strong dependency on sequencing depth for their differential expression calls and that this results in a considerable number of false positives that increases as the number of reads grows.

EBI's metagenomics site is launched! Your feedback on the new beta site is welcomed. Take a look: bit.ly/scm0pa
Metagenomics is the study of all genomes present in any given environment without the need for prior individual identification or amplification. For example, in its simplest form, a metagenomic study might be the direct sequence results of DNA extracted from a bucket of sea water.

The EBI Metagenomics service is an automated pipeline for the analysis and archiving of metagenomic data that aims to provide insights into the functional and metabolic potential of a sample. You can freely browse all the public data in the repository.

Through a new grant funding opportunity, NHLBI will provide up to $1.5 million per year for researchers who sift through the data generated by the Grand Opportunities Exome Sequencing Project (GO ESP).

The GO ESP effort sequenced 7,500 samples from well-phenotyped populations to discover all the variations in exons and to provide the largest exome dataset for studying heart, lung, and blood diseases. Genotype data and detailed sequencing and phenotype data from the project also is being made available, and NHBLI plans to fund genomic investigators, statisticians, and biologists who will identify rare or lower frequency variants from these sets that may be related to diseases.
