BoxPlotR: a web tool for generation of box plots

September 21, 2014

They published a paper on a web tool to generate box plots !! http://www.nature.com/nmeth/journal/v11/n2/full/nmeth.2811.html QT:{{”
Despite the obvious advantages of the box plot for simultaneous representation of data set and statistical parameters, this method is not in common use, in part because few available software tools allow the facile generation of box plots. For example, the standard spreadsheet tool Excel is unable to generate box plots.

M.S. and J.W. conceived of the box plot tool

Single-Cell RNA-Seq Reveals Dynamic, Random Monoallelic Gene Expression in Mammalian Cells

August 9, 2014

QT:{{”
We discovered abundant (12 to 24%) monoallelic expression of autosomal genes and that expression of the two alleles occurs independently. The monoallelic expression appeared random and dynamic because there was considerable variation among closely related embryonic cells. “}}

‘Kardashian index’ in science

July 30, 2014

A great article discussing the major issue of hyped social media presence:

“Social media makes it very easy for people to build a seemingly impressive persona by essentially ‘shouting louder’ than others. Having an opinion on something does not make one an expert.”

Allele-specific expression at single cell resolution

January 19, 2014

QT:{{”
We discovered abundant (12 to 24%) monoallelic expression of autosomal genes and that expression of the two alleles occurs independently. The monoallelic expression appeared random and dynamic because there was considerable variation among closely related embryonic cells. Similar patterns of monoallelic expression were observed in mature cells. Our allelic expression analysis also demonstrates the de novo inactivation of the paternal X chromosome.
