The Tolls of Bridge Building: Part IV, Mysterious Malformations
Following a short hiatus on the sample un-improvement job which may or may not have been halted by vr-pipe inadvertently knocking over a storage node at the Sanger Institute, our 837 non-33 jobs burst back in to life only to fall at the final hurdle of the first pipeline of the vr-pipe workflow. Despite my […]
The Tolls of Bridge Building: Part III, Sample (Un)Improvement
Previously, on Samposium: I finally had the 870 lanelets required for the sample improvement process. But in this post, I explain how my deep-seated paranoia in the quality of my data just wasn’t enough to prevent what happened next. I submitted my 870 bridged BAMs to vr-pipe, happy to essentially be rid of having to […]
The Tolls of Bridge Building: Part II, Construction
Last time on Samposium, I gave a more detailed look at the project I’m working on and an overview of what has been done so far. We have 870 lanelets to pre-process and improve into samples. In this post, I explain how the project has turned into a dangerous construction site. While trying to anticipate […]
The Tolls of Bridge Building: Part I, Background

Sanger Sequel
In a change to scheduled programming, days after touching down from my holiday (which needs a post of its own) I moved1 to spend the next few weeks back at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridgeshire. I interned here previously in 2012 and it’s still like working at a science-orientated Google thanks to the […]
The Story so Far: Part I, A Toy Dataset
In this somewhat long and long overdue post; I’ll attempt to explain the work done so far and an overview of the many issues encountered along the way and an insight in to why doing science is much harder than it ought to be. This post got a little longer than anticipated, so I’ve sharded […]
