*does the happy dance*
I've finally released all the documentation and bug fixes for PRIDE that I've been working on all week.
For those of you who might want to have a quick read to see what it is exactly I work on, you can have a gander at the user namual. The more adventurous can also read the implementation documents.
Edit: This just made my day. Email from my boss:
Hi Richard,
Great job, especially on the documentation side!
Best regards,
H.

What is proteomics?
(http://livejournal.com/users/justifyreason)
From Wikipedia:
Proteomics is the large-scale study of the expression, structure. function and interaction of proteins in health and disease. This term was coined to make an analogy with genomics, and while it is often viewed as the “next step”, proteomics is much more complicated than genomics. Most importantly, while the genome is a rather constant entity, the proteome differs from cell to cell and is constantly changing through its biochemical interactions with the genome and the environment. One organism will have radically different protein expression in different parts of its body, in different stages of its life cycle and in different environmental conditions.
The entirety of proteins in existence in an organism throughout its life cycle, or on a smaller scale the entirety of proteins found in a particular cell type under a particular type of stimulation, are referred to as the proteome of the organism or cell type respectively.
With completion of a rough draft of the human genome, many researchers are now looking at how genes and proteins interact to form other proteins. A surprising finding of the Human Genome Project is that there are far fewer protein-coding genes in the human genome than there are proteins in the human proteome (~22,000 genes vs. ~400,000 proteins). The large increase in protein diversity is thought to be due to alternative splicing and post-translational modification of proteins. This discrepancy implies that protein diversity cannot be fully characterized by gene expression analysis alone, making proteomics a useful tool for characterizing cells and tissues of interest.

ah, I get it… not really :-)
still, high five on contributing to the advancement of humanity!

Did Lambuel write the namual? ;D
Good job, bud.

uh…
And all this time I thought it was a special day for some people followed with a parade in the street.
Read part of the User”s manual. Kind of hard to follow for a guy who still is not sure how to save a document in Excel.
Have a good day.
Pop.

glad to see your computer works now.

I already commented a long time ago about the fact that you were working on PRIDE…
(http://livejournal.com/users/eniran)
my memory's going. I'm getting old…
(http://livejournal.com/users/talisker)
Getting?

don't make me sic Katy on you.

She knows better than anyone just how old you are though… ;D
