I can not run a blast search on NCBI, the link https://t.co/J8DkNyd8CJ seems to be broken. Is this the first sign of data base breakdown or just a temporary glitch? Or there is a new web address I do not know yet?
I know that publication databases are not correct. This time two of my publications have been removed from my entry from Web of Science, one I can see: https://t.co/p93Q7Xsvti . I have no idea why this is the case.
@AdrianoAguzzi I would cluster the dots by kmeans on the graph, group the clusters and look for patterns. I am not sure a straight line is useful (the variation looks like a lot (but I only know what your y axis is)),
@AdrianoAguzzi Bill looks like a large language model that digested the entire scientific literature and even understands different genes with the same name.
@AdrianoAguzzi Gene ontologies are the best way to get a clear description of data. It requires continuous improvements, one gene at a time. Without it there would be even more chaos.
@AdrianoAguzzi The blackboard seems to be too small for the history… Kang et al Nature 1987 ? (Every Cologne Institute for Genetics student of the time knows).
@AdrianoAguzzi Moving to bioinformatics gives you a lot of opportunities. A powerful laptop is all you need. There is so much unexplored data available.
