PinnedA quick recapIn a series of posts, I used some sampling schemes to preprocess large biological sequences. Particularly the SARS Cov2 sequences, mainly due to their availability from the NCBI SARS Cov2 resources site. I used two representation schemes, a frequency-based and a graph-based scheme. In the frequency-based, the sequences were divided…Covid 195 min read
1 day agoMember-onlyThe missing pieceI remember when I was a child I like to take things apart, disassemble them, and look at what was inside. Most of the first attempts ended very badly, as I was not aware that you can disassemble something without breaking it. The discovery of the screwdriver was then my…Opinion3 min read
Sep 21Member-onlyAdding new functionalities to blender with anacondaBlender offers a high-quality tool for 3D processing and such functionalities can be used for data visualization. Out of the box, blender offers NumPy a standard library for numerical analysis. However, with the growing ecosystem of data science tools, NumPy is not enough to analyze data. Thus being able to…Data Visualization3 min read
Sep 13Avoid abrupt changes in solar radiationThe logic behind the phrase Avoiding abrupt changes in solar radiation has been a phrase used at the end of several posts. To show the importance and correlation between solar radiation and SARS Cov2. Nonetheless, as time passes and continues to work with SARS-Cov2-related data I’m starting to think that this simple phrase is no…Covid 198 min read
Aug 15Does COVID-19 susceptibility is driven by genetic mimicry?The main idea behind Cyclical components inside SARS Cov 2 sequence hint at a deterministic pattern inside the sequence. This characteristic must be driven by some deterministic factors. Those factors could be the environment, host, or host adaptations to the environment. By following some of those variables SARS Cov-2 is able to adapt and…Biology9 min read
Aug 12Lessons of nomad civilizations and where to find them.Consider the following scenario. A spaceship travels thousands of kilometers looking for a new place to settle. Eventually, the spaceship arrives at a suitable location. The occupants of the ship start to colonize and exploit the available natural resources. …Essay4 min read
Jul 25Mixed time scales in different processes inside the COVID-19 pandemic.The interaction between SARS-Cov-2 and the host occurs at different time scales and time frames. Population wise the interaction occurs by the expulsion of viral particles from infected individuals. During this process, the viral particles travel distances equal to a million times their size. This results in the infection of…Machine Learning8 min read
Jul 22Member-onlyWorking with what you have.I don’t know if it’s a common belief, but at least I have heard the same from many sources. Or I even believed this by myself. Before starting to work a little bit more with deep learning I was always taught that if I had a better computer I will…Ideas2 min read
