At the end of June, I submitted a manuscript to The Fifth Georgia Tech International Conference on Bioinformatics. The conference is publishing select manuscripts in a special edition of Bioinformatics.
I learned today that my manuscript has been accepted for publication pending revisions. I have to revise the paper based on the reviewer’s suggestions and return it to the editors by August 6th.
The paper is entitled “DNA Assembly with Gaps (Dawg): Simulating Sequence Evolution” and describes an application, Dawg, that I have developed over the last year. The application produces simulated data sets of aligned nucleotided sequences using phylogenies and evolutionary models.
Since the term “DNA Assembly” is popular in another context which involves gaps, I may rename it eventually to something different, say “DNA Alteration with Gaps.” I am really surprised that no one has complained about this.
Dawg????????????? Did you really expect me to let that just slide by without making fun of you?? I think that was an unrealistic expectation! Is there a version of ethnocentrism that relates to one’s educational institution?
It’s your institution also.
