I’m pretty proud of some parts of my workflow: electronic lab notebook, reproducibility, open data files, (semi-obsessive) automated data backups etc etc. But pride often comes before a fall. I had a bad experience this week where I thought I had lost some important phylogenetic data files (I found them eventually), and I’m writing this…

How can we ensure the persistence of analysis software?
I’ve been thinking about sustainable and accessible archiving of bioinformatics software, I’m pretty scandalized at the current state of affairs, and had a bit of a complain about it before. I thought I’d post some links to other people’s ideas and talk a bit about the situation and action that is needed right now. Casey Bergman…
Reproducible research in phylogenetics
I’ve been reading a lot recently about reproducible research (RR) in bioinformatics on several blogs, and Google+ and Twitter. The idea is that it is important that someone is easily able to reproduce* your results (and even figures) from your publication using your provided code and data. I’ve been thinking that this is a movement…
