This only shows how ignorant on bioinformatic analyses is whoever listed two items on the left. Without effort, I can say... git, bash, python, R-lang, alignment algorithms, UMAP, clustering algorithms, snakemake, nextflow, slurm, amazon web services, google cloud platform, conda, heuristics, more algorithms, deep learning, machine learning, imputing missing values, frequentist statistics, parametric or not, bayesian statistics, mmm.. Ok, point given.

So... A single computer.

Oh, and just to be clear. The whole idea of separating the two fields is plain wrong. There's a lot of workers that do both. And, if there's any worker that only does 1 discipline, it's likely working in a team with at least 1 person doing the other...

good luck aligning 50 x 20mil sequences in a 10 year old laptop

What data are you going to bioinform yourself on, bioinformist?

Is the picture on the right genuine? Asking seriously.

[-] Liz@midwest.social 3 points 2 years ago

No it is not.

No, very much no

Too bad, I like the style

Where do I get a job in bioinformatics? Now that AI hype is on the way out (and I missed it) my best guess is that it will be the next big thing. And unlike LLMs it's actually interesting.
