Raymond McCauleyBackerWoohoo!Mar 26, 20151- KT PickardResearcherThank you for your support & also for the RT on Twitter!Mar 29, 20150
PietroBackerHi KT, great project. Pleased to see that pledges have already reached 100% of your initial budget. I was wondering if at this stage you could say something more about how you would use any additional $$ that might come in. Thanks!Mar 25, 20150- KT PickardResearcherHi Pietro, I will be adding a stretch goal shortly. Additional $$ will be used for publication fees in an open access journal. Keep your eye out for an updated Lab Note!Mar 25, 20150
- PietroBackerGreat! I totally agree that your research should be published open access (although PeerJ will charge $100 per author only, and Plos one $1350 per paper). Also consider uploading draft to a pre-print server (e.g. biorxiv): I've seen very interesting discussion develop from there.Just putting this on the table: cheaper publishing might allow a second 'trio' to be sequenced(?)Mar 26, 20151
- KT PickardResearcherWhen I first wrote about open access publishing in 2012, I found the average publishing cost was $2,500 (see http://www.jopm.org/opinion/commentary/2012/07/18/the-impact-of-open-access-and-social-media-on-scientific-research/). Also, I have found that getting accepted to PeerJ or PLOS ONE can be very challenging for non-academic researchers. If we are accepted to a lower-cost, peer-reviewed open access journal, we will use the additional funds for more analysis time using VarSeq. Thank you for your comments!Mar 28, 20150
KT8I think you can request for a fee waiver in PlosOne. Just explain your situation (which I think is very valid) and they might grant you a waiver.Jun 30, 20150- KT PickardResearcherThank you, Kt8, I didn't know about the possibility of a fee waiver in PLOS ONE. Our preliminary findings are encouraging (see this Lab Note: https://experiment.com/u/dIeFDw). If they hold up, we will publish results later this year.Jun 30, 20150
Oscar JasklowskiBackerAwesome work, KT! Do you have any good reading to get up to speed on family trio sequencing? I'm really curious about 1) how it's been used, and 2) how the insights differ from sequencing when you look at a bigger population. Any resources you have would be much appreciated!!Mar 24, 20150- KT PickardResearcherHi Oscar, I just added a Lab Note that introduces family trio sequencing: https://experiment.com/u/oSMmAApr 18, 20150
Georgia CoxBackerAs a family therapist, I am very excited by your project and inspired by your family's collaboration. Looking forward to following your research.Mar 24, 20150- KT PickardResearcherThank you, Georgia!Mar 25, 20150
