Biology/Bioinfo History
This is the central dogma of molecular biology.
What is DNA -> RNA -> Protein?
A hydrogen atom says it has lost an electron. When asked if it's sure, the atom replies, “Yeah, I'm ___.
What is positive?
This measure of center is generally unaffected by a single extreme outlier.
What is the median?
A unique identifier assigned to a database record is commonly called this.
What is an accession number?
What's the crispiest tech out there?
What is CRISPR-Cas9?
The total cost of the Human Genome Project.
What is $3 billion?
A biologist broke up with a physicist because, despite their shared love of science, they just couldn't find this between them.
What is chemistry?
Draw a violin/bean plot.
What’s your drawing like?
Unlike raw experimental data, information checked and interpreted by experts is described using this term.
What is curated data?
What Python library is bear-ly a challenge to learn?
What is pandas?
The reason the short arm of a chromosome is called the “p arm”, and the long one is called the “q arm”
What is... p stands for petite (French for short), and q is just the next letter in the alphabet
Plants dislike this branch of mathematics because it gives them something they already have underground.
What are square roots?
There are 10 people in a room. The number of unique pairs that can be formed is this.
What is 45?
This database property means that storing the same biological sequence multiple times is minimized.
What is non-redundancy?
If you ship your pipelines in these containers, you'll have a whale of a time.
What is Docker?
The researcher who initially showed Rosalind Franklin’s DNA helix images to James Watson.
Who is Maurice Wilkins?
What do you do with sick chemists? What do you do if they die?
What is Helium and Barium?
mystery(n):
if n == 0:
return 1
return n * mystery(n-1)
Output for mystery (5).
What is 120?
This is the largest database in the world.
What is the International Nucleotide Sequence Database Collaboration (INSDC)?
This loyal little sequencer who says "Bello!" and does your bidding in the palm of your hand.
What is the MinION?
The short-lived club that Charles Darwin co-founded in Cambridge.
What is the the Glutton Club; goal to eat “birds and beasts before to unknown to the human palate”?
BONUS: The species of bird that effectively ended the club's meetings.
Biologists especially enjoy traveling because it helps them become more of this.
What is cultured?
9 + 10?
What’s 21?
Combining information from separate databases using identifiers shared between records is often called this process.
What is database integration/data integration?
Why are biology conferences so awkward?
What is "Too many people trying to bond".
