Hi all,
-- I recently wrote my undergraduate thesis on RNA secondary structure prediction algorithms. In the process I've become intimately familiar with the algorithms and code bases behind Unafold and RNAstructure, which I have been told comprise 90% of the market share of RNA structure prediction software. My thesis is located here, if you are interested.
However, I was a physics and computer science student, and I have minimal (no) training in biology. This meant that most of the time while I was writing my thesis I was in great want of background knowledge and motivation. I was often asked why my research was important, but I could never give a strong answer. When I asked my advisor for motivations behind our work, he did not answer to my satisfaction. So I thought, what better way to learn than DIYbio?
So are there ways I could help this community? What would be the best path for me to get started, in a way that my background would be the most relevant?
Mike
