Bioinformatics tools extracted from a typical mammalian genome project
From the post:
In this extended blog post, I describe my efforts to extract the information about bioinformatics-related items from a recent genome sequencing paper, and the larger issues this raises in the field. It’s long, and it’s something of a hybrid between a blog post and a paper format, just to give it some structure for my own organization. A copy of this will also be posted at FigShare with the full data set. Huge thanks to the gibbon genome project team for a terrific paper and extensively-documented collection of their processes and resources. The issues I wanted to highlight are about the access to bioinformatics tools in general and are not specific to this project at all, but are about the field.

A must read if you are interested in useful preservation of research and data. The paper focuses on needed improvements in bioinformatics but the issues raised are common to all fields.
How well does your field perform when compared to bioinformatics?
