A quick note for bioinformaticians in the audience: Neil Saunders has an excellent post on parsing (i.e. processing a file to retrieve specific sections of interest). Neil's hints are a useful introduction for beginners, but also provide some handy reminders for long-time programmers.

I write about the genetic and evolutionary basis of human variation, and the companies trying to sell you information about your genome.
Daniel also blogs about personal genomics at Genomes Unzipped.
