You’re welcome.

If you can figure out how they’re able to infer significance from samples without replicates let me know. I think they’re using the variance in expression of all the genes in an RNAseq run, but it isn’t entirely clear.

Your comment about the tcl/tk just saved me from throwing my computer out the window. Now, if only I can figure out what DEGseq is doing.

James,

I just fixed this. Should be working correctly now.

Nick,

I have calculated some data using your website for SMOGD, but am encountering difficulty when trying to “download” the results.

After I download one table , I cannot download any others unless I refresh the page, or resubmit the data for (re)calculation. my suspicion is that it may be due to similar/identical url designations for each table.

Thanks, a very useful program.

Yi-Jang,
Sorry for the excessive delay. I didn’t actually get your message until yesterday afternoon.

part a.) the solutions manual is off by two basepairs.

part b.) “…I don’t know how I could extrapolate the information of the proportion of XYY males being higher in the study than in the general population to make an ethical argument for or against screening babies..”

Excellent point. Talk about this! Is it legitimate to extrapolate? Why or why not? Don’t worry, there are NO right answers to this question.

Hi Nick,
I realize that I’m being geeky, but I have a crazy weekend next week so I wanted to get my stuff out of the way first. I have a few questions about the problems assigned for this week.
Firstly, in 6.27, the complementary base pairing that they give in the solution manual is completely skewed! None of the explanations that they give seem to have CG, TA pairing.
And for part II of the homework, for question 1 (its actually #3 of the social and ethical questions, p114), I don’t know how I could extrapolate the information of the proportion of XYY males being higher in the study than in the general population to make an ethical argument for or against screening babies. I don’t need an answer, but just a hint as to how I could go about using this information.

thanks!

Hi, I sent you an email with a rather long question. I can post it here, too, if you want.
Thanks,
