Every once in a while I get a request from various researchers to host data for visualization in the UCSC Genome Browser. After having generated hundreds of links, I've decide to move toward their trackhub system. The downside to this, is the need for a trackDB.txt file, which contains all of the meta information. First, [...]

There are twenty days left to get my ass into half-marathon shape. After a weekend filled with family and friends in Boston, I am ready to make the final push towards the finish line and work off some of the bachelor party beer weight. We have only one truly long run left this coming weekend, [...]
