Armchair Biology: September 2011
http://armchairbiology.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
A science blog, by a scientist, mostly about computational biology and plant science, but a little rambly in places. Thursday, 8 September 2011. A Pile of Sheets. In which a niggle with Excel files is easily crushed into nothingness. If you have a Mac. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Really - just really - listen to the bioinformatician for once. Throwing your hands up in the air and fixing your problems with Emacs. A Pile of Sheets. The Martian: Andy Weir.

Armchair Biology: What's The Points?
http://armchairbiology.blogspot.com/2014/07/whats-points.html
A science blog, by a scientist, mostly about computational biology and plant science, but a little rambly in places. Sunday, 27 July 2014. In which I talk about points for wins, losses, and draws in rugby league, and how framing of quantitative data is important. This week saw the announcement of major changes to the way that the top levels of rugby league in the UK would operate. Is that Super League (SL) and the Championship (C) currently offer different points for winning, drawing, or losing a game:.

Armchair Biology: KEGGWatch, part III
http://armchairbiology.blogspot.com/2013/02/keggwatch-part-iii.html
A science blog, by a scientist, mostly about computational biology and plant science, but a little rambly in places. Friday, 1 February 2013. KEGGWatch, part III. In which I finally get around to sharing some code, and give some examples of downloading and modifying KEGG pathway maps. As you may have seen in parts I. I've been thinking about writing some Python code to grab, parse, modify, and visualise KGML files. Tl;dr - I wrote it, and it's up here. The module has four main files, KGML parser.py.

Armchair Biology: A Nice New Paradox
http://armchairbiology.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-nice-new-paradox.html
A science blog, by a scientist, mostly about computational biology and plant science, but a little rambly in places. Wednesday, 13 February 2013. A Nice New Paradox. In which I work through a popular statistical puzzle/paradox (with potential implications for interpretation of large data studies). With example code. I like mathematical puzzles, but I don't. The other week, a statistical puzzle on The Skeptics' Guide To The Universe. The parent has at least one boy, they must. I'm going to ruin the puzzle...

Armchair Biology: April 2012
http://armchairbiology.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
A science blog, by a scientist, mostly about computational biology and plant science, but a little rambly in places. Sunday, 22 April 2012. What is this 'effector' thing, anyway? In which I opine about the definition of (plant) pathogen effectors. Links to this post. Not a facelift, just a bit of Botox. In which I decide that even I cant face reading blogposts in the old template style, so make a change. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

A science blog, by a scientist, mostly about computational biology and plant science, but a little rambly in places. Wednesday, 25 July 2012. 23 And Me and Me: Part 3. In which I get a nice surprise. Links to this post. Thursday, 19 July 2012. On Reciprocal Best BLAST Hits. In which I narrowly avoid a rant. Reciprocal best BLAST hits can improve the quality of your searching, and are a good way to find candidate orthologues. Theres evidence and everything. Links to this post. Wednesday, 18 July 2012.

A science blog, by a scientist, mostly about computational biology and plant science, but a little rambly in places. Sunday, 23 September 2012. The Colours, Man!

Armchair Biology: A Nice New Paradox Redux: Paredux
http://armchairbiology.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-nice-new-paradox-redux-paredux_10.html
A science blog, by a scientist, mostly about computational biology and plant science, but a little rambly in places. Sunday, 10 March 2013. A Nice New Paradox Redux: Paredux. In which I admit to a mistake. It looks like I was a little too smug about my own pedantry in my last post about the Tuesday Boy. Paradox: I wasn't pedantic enough. The things you don't see are as important as the things you see. I have two children. One is a boy. What is the probability I have two boys? Boy, boy}: The parent must s...
