ABSTRACT

Spreadsheets are widely used software tools for data entry, storage, analysis, and visualization. Focusing on the data entry and storage aspects, this article offers practical recommendations for organizing spreadsheet data to reduce errors and ease later analyses. The basic principles are: be consistent, write dates like YYYY-MM-DD, do not leave any cells empty, put just one thing in a cell, organize the data as a single rectangle (with subjects as rows and variables as columns, and with a single header row), create a data dictionary, do not include calculations in the raw data files, do not use font color or highlighting as data, choose good names for things, make backups, use data validation to avoid data entry errors, and save the data in plain text files.

On Rare Disease Day, we highlight the global impact of rare conditions. More than 6,000 rare diseases have been identified, together affecting 300 million people worldwide. Among them are inherited retinal diseases (IRDs), which affect about 1 in 3,000 people.

The second #ESHG2025 day has started, but I truly do not want to leave without yesterday's highlights. PL2.2 - An interesting story about Huntington disease, the adult age-of-onset and a possibly window to treatment/prevention phenotype. Amazing news for families with this disease. ✨

As 'DC5' of @progret2024.bsky.social you leverage long-read sequencing approaches to gain more insight into 3D genomes of human retina, RPE, iPSC-ROs and iPSC-RPE. This will advance our understanding of difficult-to-interpret non-coding variants and SVs in retinal diseases. #LRS #3Dgenome ##SV #IRD
