The Ion Channel Inverse Problem: Neuroinformatics Meets Biophysics

Ion channels are the building blocks of the information processing capability of neurons: any realistic computational model of a neuron must include reliable and effective ion channel components.

Laboratory Information Management Software for genotyping workflows: applications in high throughput crop genotyping.

With the advances in DNA sequencer-based technologies, it has become possible to automate several steps of the genotyping process leading to increased throughput. To efficiently handle the large amounts of genotypic data generated and help with quality control, there is a strong need for a software system that can help with the tracking of samples and capture and management of data at different steps of the process.

Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) -- User Requirements: No Surprises is Key to Success

Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) are by nature complex to design and build. They can be successfully applied across almost every facet of lab work, or once built, unfortunately, turn out to be essentially worthless.
 LIMS Bug

The Tragedy of Bugglet

An ode to all of those that must suffer the slings and arrows of the not so perfect world of LIMS. It does not matter whether your software is large or small, old or young, it is guaranteed to have the ubiquitous Bugglet.

A possible answer to improving software quality

I think some of you will be able to relate to this. If you have one of these in your house you will understand how quality would improve significantly if they were in charge of software quality.
