I amused myself by constructing a genetics "buzzword bingo" list.</p> <ol> <li>Slide showing a signaling pathway with >= 15 proteins named</li> <li>Messing with this gene causes cancer</li> <li>Anything involving stem cells</li> <li>Microarray data</li> <li>High throughput / deep sequencing</li> <li>RNAi</li> <li>Animal model vaguely resembling a human disease</li> <li>GWAS</li> <li>Messing with this gene makes this tissue/organ look funny</li> <li>Epigenetics</li> <li>Mass spec data</li> <li>FACS</li> <li>Evolution</li> <li>A photo that makes you lose your appetite</li> <li>Apoptosis is mentioned</li> <li>HAIRBALL (aka. "<a href="http://images.google.com/images?q=+interaction+network">interaction network</a>")</li> <li>Anything related to sex (eg. chromosomes)</li> <li>RNA splicing</li> <li>Bacteria</li> <li>Yeast</li> <li>Plant</li> <li>Worm</li> <li>Fly</li> <li>Fish</li> <li>Mammal</li> </ol> <p>Although silly, I found this actually helped keep me paying attention to talks. I applied it to the last session and almost got a BINGO, but Norbert Perrimon's signaling pathway slide only had 13 proteins. So close!</p> Thu, 28 May 2009 02:55:00 -0400 urn:uuid:426d1088-012d-4c9e-85ce-1fa2fb86d0d4 Madeleine Ball http://www.madprime.org/articles/2009/05/28/harvard-genetics-retreat-2009 genetics harvard biology
