A useful introduction to the ideas is in Nathaniel's PyCon 2018 talk on trio [1], where he live-codes a solution to a concurrency-spaghetti problem. [1] https://www.youtube.com/wat…

For folks interested in understanding the subject of junk DNA a bit better, there's an upcoming book [1] that might be worth checking out. The authors blog seems also to be interes…

I also found the quality & proliferation of data pipeline tools to be baffling. Somehow always more painful to put these together than it seemed like it ought to be. At one point w…

The term junk DNA triggers a lot of confused discussion (on HN and everywhere else), and I suspect a part of that is our getting defensive about the idea of our DNA containing "jun…

The choice of Go for this is interesting. Having worked with Python & BioPython for bioinformatics problems I've found that there was a good deal of complexity around eking out per…

While new discoveries of biological function are fascinating, I don't think it follows that we are overturning the idea of junk DNA (however the phrase was coined). More likely we …

If you are interested in network visualization you might consider Cytoscape.js. It's being used e.g. in bioinformatics (visualizing networks of interacting genes, interactively ins…
