Writers write, painters paint, genomics researchers… wait patiently for algorithm pipelines to finish processing NGS data, only to spend as much time visualizing results? As long-time researchers and bioinformaticians, we’re well aware that in NGS data analysis, every...

With a large number of companies and universities taking extensive measures to curb the spread of COVID-19, many employees are now working remotely. A range of software tools help remote teams seamlessly manage messages, meetings, and projects. Slack for messaging,...

FASTQ files. Except they’re not “just” files, not “just” data. They’re the culmination of countless hours of running experiments, library preparation, sequencing, etc. You spent all this time gathering data — probably more time than you would have liked — so by the...

When auditing goes wrong Is your genomics team keeping track of the open source tools it’s using? What about software version numbers and the parameters being set? Genome reference files, usage logs, the custom scripts bioinformaticians are deploying? If you’re not...

If you ask the Basepair team what makes them excited to work at Basepair, they’d probably say that it’s the knowledge that they’re creating solutions that make research faster and accessible for more scientists. But what makes the team especially excited is when they...

We talk to bioinformaticians at research cores and pharma companies every day. One of the biggest changes we’ve seen in the last couple years is the growing popularity of single cell sequencing. And while it’s too early to call single cell RNA-seq ubiquitous, no doubt...
