Web-based Genome Analysis

27 Mar 2015 @ 11:48amA colleague pointed me to a site with some BAM and VCF analysis tools, real-time and over the web. It’s fun to use, and might make for some good instructional content.

Radiology Tutorial
By Terry
18 Mar 2015 @ 2:45pmWe have been interested in developing training tools for various diseases (inherited eye diseases, deafness, cancer, and others). Here is a nice site that provides "radiology tutorials." Nice example of using images, image annotation, and wiki-style background information.
The site is here:

Chrome's Unsafe Ports
By bn-admin
17 Mar 2015 @ 11:15amSo apparently Chrome maintains a list of "unsafe" ports (or maybe a list of safe ones). I did not know this... and got a minor headache from it.
I was trying to setup a new printer remotely on one of my workstations that currently is configured to allow access to CUPS only locally on port 631 (default setup). That's easy enough, I'll just use SSH's port forwarding to allow my connection to appear local to cups:
Denyhosts 2.6 (< 6.el5) Misses a Large Number of Attacks
By Steve
27 Feb 2015 @ 3:31pmUPDATE (2015/03/09)
There was a release of denyhosts that finally fixes this bug! (Maybe the RHEL EPEL maintenance crew read my blog post, haha). So as long as you patch through 2.6-6.el5 (or equivalent if you are running a newer version of CentOS/RHEL/etc) then you will not have this issue. Thanks EPEL team!

So, I hesitate to call this a vulnerability, but it definitely is a critical issue.
