If you use enrichment analysis in your work, and have not been made aware of this before, stop and read this 2016 piece from @metapredict
https://genomebiology.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13059-015-0761-7
Multiple sources of bias confound functional enrichment analysis of global -omics data - Genome Biology

Serious and underappreciated sources of bias mean that extreme caution should be applied when using or interpreting functional enrichment analysis to validate findings from global RNA- or protein-expression analyses.

Hello tweeps, I need your distributed mind: once I read in a paper that kmers with k=7 are the shortest that can be used to describe a genome in a unique way. I cannot find that paper anymore, did I just imagine that? Can you help me? #askforhelp #Bioinformatics #kmer
