I know some of you enjoy looking at data and seeing if you can figure out what's going on.
For this Friday's puzzler, I'm going to send you to FinchTalk, our company blog, to take a look at lots of data from a resequencing experiment that was done to look for SNPs and count alleles. The graph is at the end of the post.
The graph shows data from 4608 reads (sequenced from both strands, forward and reverse). And there are some interesting patterns. Can you figure them out?

Since people know I work for Google, I get lots of mail from folks with odd questions, or with complaints about some Google policy, or questions about the way that Google does some particular thing. Obviously, I can't answer questions about Google…
Over at Faraday's Cage, Cherish has a very nice post on Fourier series, following on an earlier post on Fourier transforms in the Transformers movie. She gives a nice definition of the process in the earlier post:
A Fourier Transform takes a signal and looks at the waves and then shows us the…
Genome Web's Daily Scan noted an interesting blog post today from John D. Halamka, one of the people to get his genome sequenced through the personal genome project.
I was interested to see his post since Genome Web wrote that he was discussing data standards and we have been writing quite a bit,…
A few days ago I posted about selection and population structure. The basic idea is to imagine demes, breeding populations, and consider how variation in the standard parameters such as selection coefficient and migration might affect the overall frequencies of the alleles. The paper, Fixation…
