Was kind of sad this year having a “retreat” in a slightly different building in the same city. I amused myself by constructing a genetics “buzzword bingo” list.
- Slide showing a signaling pathway with >= 15 proteins named
- Messing with this gene causes cancer
- Anything involving stem cells
- Microarray data
- High throughput / deep sequencing
- RNAi
- Animal model vaguely resembling a human disease
- GWAS
- Messing with this gene makes this tissue/organ look funny
- Epigenetics
- Mass spec data
- FACS
- Evolution
- A photo that makes you lose your appetite
- Apoptosis is mentioned
- HAIRBALL (aka. “interaction network“)
- Anything related to sex (eg. chromosomes)
- RNA splicing
- Bacteria
- Yeast
- Plant
- Worm
- Fly
- Fish
- Mammal
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!
