From now on, I no longer will be in X. I have migrated to bluesky.

We have some posts in the making, so do check our blog today and in the future!

In the advanced data analysis unit @GIMM_Institute , we have discussed sharing our experiences in checking, filtering and analysing data (omic and otherwise). So we decided to create a blog!

We are also proud to present our first blogpost, regarding machine IDs, runs and fastqs!

Final impactful thought:
"As “statistical significance” is used less, statistical thinking will be used more."

#Statistics #pvalues

[André Barros @abolerbarros]

Moving away from p-values: an editorial that is a interesting subject on the matter:

"Researchers will be free to communicate all their findings in all their glorious uncertainty, knowing their work is to be judged by the quality and effective communication of their science, and not by their p-values."

It takes a vector (can be a row or a column of a data-frame) and transforms the non-date entries into dates, while keeping the others as is!

[André Barros @abolerbarros]

Have you ever faced a problem when working with dates in R, specifically when Excel decides your date is a number?

Worry no more! We at the Advanced Data Analysis Unit @GIMM_Institute have developed a function to work around this problem:

Students at Stanford have built alphaXiv, an open discussion forum for arXiv papers. Think of it as 𝕏 for research.

4) The scientific method also applies to computational results: proper controls and negating all alternative hypotheses are just as important in computational biology as in bench experiments.

First script in the repository is a bash script for subsampling FASTQ files and aligning them using Salmon. The goal is designed to determine the strandness of the data (mostly helpful when there is no information about this).

[André Barros @abolerbarros]

As a part of the Advanced Data Analysis Unit of @GIMM_Institute, I have worked with some transcriptomic datasets.

Considering I have faced different data types, scenarios and analysis requirements, I have decided to create a github repository for RNASeq analysis.

[André Barros @abolerbarros]

This will integrate scripts, ideas, considerations, etc. I have faced and/or developed throughout my course in my facility.
