Selected from the list of keywords reported by Google Webmaster tools for the period of January to April 2013.

I have verified these from within the US, but the results may be region specific:

  1. birney graur http://www.google.com/search?q=birney+graur
  2. phd bioinformatics salary https://www.google.com/search?q=phd+bioinformatics+salary
  3. forward strand https://www.google.com/search?q=forward+strand
  4. blast java https://www.google.com/search?q=blast+java
  5. makefile generate shell script https://www.google.com/search?q=makefile+generate+shell+script
  6. unphased genotypes https://www.google.com/search?q=unphased+genotypes
  7. vcf to fasta https://www.google.com/search?q=vcf+to+fasta
  8. wget sra https://www.google.com/search?q=wget+sra
  9. what is snp calling https://www.google.com/search?q=what+is+snp+calling
  10. ucsc api https://www.google.com/search?q=ucsc+api

And a few more unexpected results

  1. de bruijn pronunciation https://www.google.com/search?q=de+bruijn+pronunciation
  2. which regular expression below matches an entire sequence that is either valid dna or valid rna? http://www.google.com/search?q=which+regular+expression+below+matches+an+entire+sequence+that+is+either+valid+dna+or+valid+rna%3F

Heh. "de bruijn pronunciation"--but the pronunciation of FASTA discussion made me laugh more.

Let me link to that, this one right? How do you pronounce "fastq" ?

Yeah. In my head I was imagining the Brits and the Australians and the Americans in a bar arguing about FASTA.

Beware that the results are likely filterbubbled, not only by region but also search habits.

well these are aggregated by Google so they should reflect the search habits of someone likely to be interested in Biostar. They also happen to work for me, with the exception of the makefile query that produces a second hit rather than first.
