lakmiseiru's Journal: A Little Background About This Bioinformatics Stuff

So you're probably wondering what this means...

For my senior project (senior year of high school, that is), I'm studying the significance of introns ("junk DNA") using bioinformatics (which hopefully you, the reader, have heard of).

I have a system at school running Red Hat 7.2. Sadly (or not, as you please), I have been forced to use an iMac keyboard, but I was able to find a three-button mouse at home... thank goodness. I run most of my jobs in-house, as that saves me data transmission to larger servers via ftp and allows me to run command-line wrapper scripts that I couldn't run on webforms. I've had to install various bioinformatics software packages myself, and this was not always easy... but they all run. For now.

If you're curious about anything else, read on or talk to me.
