TechBlog: Interactive figures, a mea culpa

For the 1 February issue of Nature magazine, I wrote a Toolbox article on interactive figures. Unlike static PDFs or JPEGs, these figures allow users to explore the underlying data and code used to create them, for instance to zoom in on a crowded region of interest, or to probe the robustness of a computational model.  Read more

TechBlog: 'Carbon rainbow' enables highly multiplexed microscopy

Fluorescence microscopy has transformed the life sciences. By attaching fluorescent dyes or proteins to cellular structures, researchers can image fine cellular morphology; track molecular localization, motion, and dynamics; and more. But fluorescence microscopy also presents significant obstacles. One of those is multiplexing.  Read more

TechBlog: MODs get a unified search portal

For decades, the research communities surrounding the major model organisms have each had an online place to call home. There was the SGD, MGD, and RGD — the Saccharomyces, mouse, and rat genome databases, respectively; FlyBase and WormBase for Drosophila and C. elegans; and ZFIN, the Zebrafish Information Network.  Read more

TechBlog: Timothée Poisot: Data science for the rest of us

Timothée Poisot recently travelled to London for MozFest 2017, “The world’s leading festival for the open Internet movement.” There, the quantitative and computational ecologist at the University of Montréal in Canada ran a session entitled “Scientific computing for the terabyte-less.” Here, he tells Naturejobs why life science research needn’t necessarily follow the Big Data model.  Read more
