> This professor was collecting DNA from the archaeological site, sending it to a lab to be analyzed, and then was receiving the genetic sequences back listed as characters in a digital file (called a FASTQ file). In order to find out what organisms these sequences belonged to they needed to be input into a database to retrieve accession codes.
I did some bioinformatics work back in uni parallelizing the inside-outside algorithm using C and OpenMP for long runs on Solaris machines related to adjusting the weights on a DNA sequence model. Quite fun work.
Small bit of feedback: the font size you're using for the article is absolutely leviathan at 24px on a full desktop browser. The standard recommendation is usually 16-18px.
Nice article.
