Color palettes in R (wrt ggplot2)

I just found an outstanding rundown of color issues in R (with a nod to ggplot2) on cookbook-r.com.

Mostly just a collection of resources from around the web.

I really like their colorblind friendly palette:

cbPalette <- span=""> c("#999999", "#E69F00", "#56B4E9", "#009E73", "#F0E442", "#0072B2", "#D55E00", "#CC79A7")

Which is better than the ggplot2 defaults:

Bowtie2 Version 2.2.0 released -- HUGE news!

 How big is this news?  Well, bigger than 4 GB, that's for sure.

A while back I brought up this issue on BioStars.

From the Bowtie2 news page:

Version 2.2.0 - February 10, 2014

• Improved index querying efficiency using "population count" instructions available since SSE4.2
• Added support for large and small indexes, removing 4-billion-nucleotide barrier. Bowtie 2 can now be used with reference genomes of any size.
• Fixed bug that could cause bowtie2-build to crash when reference length is close to 4 billion.
• Added a CL: string to the @PG SAM header to preserve information about the aligner binary and paramteres.
• Fixed bug that could cause bowtie2-build to crash when reference length is close to 4 billion.
• No longer releasing 32-bit binaries. Simplified manual and Makefile accordingly.
• Credits to the Intel® enabling team for performance optimizations included in this release. Thank you!
• Phased out CygWin support. MinGW can still be used for Windows building.
• Added the .bat generation for Windows.
• Fixed some issues with some uncommon chars in fasta files.
• Fixed wrappers so bowtie can now be used with symlinks.
