Convert Markdown file to PDF file on Mac (2)
Previously I used markdown-pdf. But I found another tool to convert GitHub style PDF mdpdf [1].
And I would prefer it.

mdpdf
Install
$ npm install mdpdf $ which mdpdf /Users/jun.aruga/node_modules/.bin/mdpdf
Usage
$ mdpdf README.md
README.pdf is created on the same directory with README.md.
Atom plugin markdown-pdf
This tool is also cool. The Atom [2] plugin [3] to convert markdown to PDF.
Install markdown-pdf plugin from Atom editor. Then select menu: Packages -> Markdown to PDF -> Convert in a markdown file.

Genome (base pair) size and gene number by Organism
As I installed Trinity RNA Seq tool, I want to do de novo sequencing to something.
Genome size is base pair (= bp) size, not gene number.
As to check the behavior of Trinity, small genome size (base pairs) is better.
I found this NCBI's page to check genome size for each organism by sorting the genome size.
- Genome List - Genome - NCBI: Size is the size of bp.
- Genome size - Wikipedia: In the graph "tree of life with genome sizes as outer bars", "genome size" is actually used as "gene number". That's confusing.
"Mycoplasma genitalium" [1] genome size is 0.58 Mbp = 580,000 bp. It's very small. And it is used for Craig Ventor's minimal cell [2][3] It looks good to dig the detail by Trinity.
By the way, I found Japanese article about the genome size for each organism with photos. This web site looks very good to know biology.
