Today, I found a bioinformatic job that I have been running for four days is a total failure. I have sensed something wrong at the beginning and even during the procedure, but I did not dig up the reasons. So I ended up wasting four days.
What I learned from this failure? Details and patience. I should have spent more time thinking about the whole procedure, rather than hurried up to run the job. I should have a general idea about the formulas and principles behind the bioinformatics tools. Then I need to evaluate whether it is adaptable to my data. Running the tools is really the last thing that I need to concern about.
