Let’s see if I can break the blog.

Well, as Kat mentioned over at the SAB, I am now activated, Word-Press-enabled, and ready to jump into this whole Life Science Tools of the Trade thing, joining my virtual colleagues hbogerd and hwiegand.

As some of you know, I’m a Blogger kind of person so far, so this post is as much about introducing myself as it is about seeing whether I can work out how WordPress works. So far, so good, nothing’s caught fire yet. I will doubtless be posting many erudite comments on the technologies we all use (or more likely, those that fail us miserably), but in the meantime I’l leave you with a teaser: yes, we have a next-generation DNA sequencer; no, it doesn’t work as well as advertised; and we just finished our first client project, a ChIP-sequencing experiment, after seven months of trouble-shooting since delivery. That’s about average, folks.

    Thanks, both. Now, if only I could log in to comment on Alethea’s blog… that functionality seems to be broken again :(

    Welcome, indeed. I wasn’t able to do it the other way around, either, but today I could. Looking forward to hearing about your ChIP-sequencing experiment using next-gen sequencing - VERY much. And with all the warts on, so we know what we might be getting into.
