kanzurehi mindspillage.00:36
* mindspillage waves00:36
kanzurehave you considered re-attaching your skull cap so as to stop the spilling00:36
mindspillageAs I'm not Jewish I'm afraid it would give people the wrong idea...00:37
mindspillageAnyhow, metaphorical spillage doesn't create much mess.00:38
kanzureok ok00:38
kanzureso, I have a legalese question for you00:38
mindspillageOk...00:38
kanzuredo you know anything about science patrons?00:38
mindspillageNot called by that phrase...00:40
kanzurewhat?00:40
kanzureis there another way to say that?00:40
mindspillage(I mean, I might think of foundations giving grants as "patrons" but I've never heard of someone referring to "science patrons".)00:40
kanzureI mean private individuals, not foundations00:40
mindspillageThen I think of angel investors...00:41
kanzureoh, that might be a neat way to do it00:41
kanzureok, thanks.00:41
mindspillageWhat do you want to know about them?00:41
kanzurewhether or not I'll be shot by lawyers for having somebody that gives me funding to do dangerous, reckless self-experimentation00:42
mindspillageNah, probably not. The funder's lawyer might want to shoot him. :-)00:44
kanzurefenn: create-fp complains that I am passing it too many parameters when I pass it everything in the constructor's parameter list filled out. blah.00:47

kanzuremake the bet more specific and you're on02:54
kanzurei.e., what time frame02:54
kanzuredo you bet that it will happen within a day? two days?02:54

kanzurean interesting sequencing project might be to collect DNA from professors on a university campus, either through forensics or by knocking on their office door09:15

kanzure"10:28
kanzureDoes the organization of a genome (i.e., which genes are in which location) influence viability? is there some selective advantage to pushing everything related to, say, neurons, in a stretch of the genome?11:18
kanzureor do we not see that in genomes?11:19

-!- nsh [n=nsh@host86-141-178-190.range86-141.btcentralplus.com] has joined #hplusroadmap11:43
kanzureso why haven't we seen AFM cantilever mass-based DNA sequencing? by hanging DNA from the cantilever tip, recording the force, and then selectively cleaving a single nucleotide from the strand, you should be able to detect the difference in the force of the DNA.11:59
kanzure(there is DNA mass spec sequencing, but not by AFM)11:59
kanzureit's common to attach DNA to beads.12:01
kanzurehm. oh. you don't necessarily have to have it hanging the entire time. you just lower it (like string/rope) and let it rest on the ground. you need a z-axis approach mechanism that has the resolution of a few angstroms though :(12:05
cis-actionhey kanzure.12:11
cis-actionWith regards to metagenomics, I've been confounded by a a cloning step that is required to purify and segregate different amplicons from the pcr mix - if I'm going to do sanger sequencing, I can't figure out how to go from pcr on a genomic pool to pure DNA samples of identical DNAs in different tubes12:14
cis-actionI think polony sequencing might get around this, but I don't know how expensive it is.12:15
kanzureuh, what about electrophoresis to separate the strands?12:28
nshkanz, that seems like a painfully difficult way to sequence12:37

kanzurensh: sequencing tends to be painfully difficult apparently12:38
nshyeah, but i can't imagine many techniques less amenable to parallelisation than AFM...12:39
nshthose things cost a lot of moneys12:39
nshbrb, dinner12:40
kanzurensh: I don't think AFM costs as much as you think it does :)12:41
* nsh adds it to his amazon wishlist then13:01
kanzuredid you see the CAD files and instructions for building one?13:05

genehackerand save the ones I like the best14:01
kanzureyou could set it to open them up outside of the browser14:02
kanzureand then you don't have tons of multi-MB PDFs clogging up your browser memory14:02
