I opened a bookshop – and discovered what really matters in life 📚 tomjrowley for ipaperviews
Tom Rowley recently opened Backstory, an independent bookshop in south-west London
The singer, Simeon Hammond Dallas, who stood with her guitar in an alcove between bookcases lit up for the evening with fairy lights, beamed. Watching all this from behind the counter, so did I. Watching the gig on Saturday night, I smiled as I recalled all of this. Here we all were, nearly 30 years after Amazon sold its first book, perched on cushions and blankets in a sold-out music night in a new independent bookshop, hearing words of all kinds come to life. It was a joyous, vital evening – and we even sold a few books.
that the number of independent bookshops in the UK and Ireland has hit a 10-year high. There are now well over a thousand, including 105 that have opened their doors since the Covid-19 pandemic began.– is one of them. Since none of the five booksellers, including me, had ever worked in a bookshop before, we planned to open last October with a “soft launch” to give us a few quiet weeks to get familiar with ordering systems and how to use the coffee machine. It was anything but.

OpenGenomeBrowser: a versatile, dataset-independent and scalable web platform for genome data management and comparative genomics - BMC GenomicsBackground As the amount of genomic data continues to grow, there is an increasing need for systematic ways to organize, explore, compare, analyze and share this data. Despite this, there is a lack of suitable platforms to meet this need. Results OpenGenomeBrowser is a self-hostable, open-source platform to manage access to genomic data and drastically simplifying comparative genomics analyses. It enables users to interactively generate phylogenetic trees, compare gene loci, browse biochemical pathways, perform gene trait matching, create dot plots, execute BLAST searches, and access the data. It features a flexible user management system, and its modular folder structure enables the organization of genomic data and metadata, and to automate analyses. We tested OpenGenomeBrowser with bacterial, archaeal and yeast genomes. We provide a docker container to make installation and hosting simple. The source code, documentation, tutorials for OpenGenomeBrowser are available at opengenomebrowser.github.io and a demo server is freely accessible at opengenomebrowser.bioinformatics.unibe.ch . Conclusions To our knowledge, OpenGenomeBrowser is the first self-hostable, database-independent comparative genome browser. It drastically simplifies commonly used bioinformatics workflows and enables convenient as well as fast data exploration.
