A Little Help from My Friends

How to get the most out of your collaboration with bioinformaticians

  • Don’t expect all things from one person
  • Get your point across
But if you’re interested in a collaboration, Rogic cautions, don’t treat the analysis step as “something a technician does quickly after [biologists] generate the data.”

” Today computational biologists are held in higher regard, but a little more appreciation never hurts. No one wants to feel like a “code monkey or a data monkey,” Shah notes. Give credit where credit is due, says Hardison: “Really, it’s playground rules.”
