Great. Now make an app that does the opposite :)

Google still lets you do free site search.

Here's an example: http://octopress.org/

* Parkinsons found only to be 24% heritable using genes known to be associated with Parkinson and also not taking into account epigenetics

I don't understand. Google showed you how to use BLAST?

Yes exactly, they held my hand through the whole copy/paste process.

If you use Homebrew, you can install blast (brew install blast). However, it takes forever to compile :)

Any specific advantages? I'll try to check it out.

I can attest to this.

"Why that f*ing hipster gets laid more than you."

I lost interest after reading this blog post. What does it have to do with socks? Does having weird socks make someone a hipster? Does pretending to be a hipster get someone laid and wearing weird socks somehow enables this?

No, it just works differently for women.

Not really. What if I don't want to meet a guy. Its super heteronormative and more about finding men a women to date rather than helping anybody find their match.

I am a grad student in Bioinformatics, and I have my BS in Biology.

I'd say that the field is limited by computer science, not biology. Especially in the high-throughput sequencing field. Currently, the acceleration of DNA sequencing data production is out-pacing Moore's law. It costs more to analyze DNA sequences than to generate them. Also, for some reason, CS people don't seem to be that attracted to bioinformatics.

So, I'd suggest stating focused on CS and Statistics. The biology that you would need to learn in order to understand current hard problems is easy to pick up.

Have you looked at Counsyl?

I forgot to mention: people in academia are accustomed to having their data analyzed for free. Now that that's no longer feasible: they're learning how to pay for it ;)
