At long last I am on another publication for the years of slave grad work I completed. TAG published A Universal Core Genetic Map for Rice last month in their online edition. Hopefully it will make it into a print copy at some point. I identified the 18k+ SSR loci and built a system for [...]
On August 30, 2009 I had the privilege of giving the weekly sermon for CCPC.

I will still be in the clinical informatics realm, but now supporting a company whose primary focus is on AIDS trials in Africa and breast cancer in the US. In several respects this is [...]
Well, it looks like the Decision I posted about on Sat Aug 16 2008 might not have been the best decision. I decided to stay under the promise that I would extend the system I had worked on for 2 years to work for all the studies at the center. I guess the adage “a [...]
