AT THE CONVERGENCE OF EVOLUTION AND GENETICS
About evolgen
We talk about molecular population and evolutionary GENETICS and GENOMICS. You know, the caliper measurement of a gene's evolvability in moles.
Eschewing obfuscation ever since Morgan.

What Makes a Conference Good?
Category: Academia
There's a fun article in Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology on what distinguishes a good scientific meeting from a not so good one. The author advocates attending small meetings or workshops (under 100 people), which is tough for a young...

Long Branch Attraction and the Branching Order of Deuterostomes
Category: Phylogenetics
You, me, your pet dog, and any other animal with a backbone are deuterostomes. So are sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. During early development you, me, and echinoderms (sea stars et al) are a round ball of cells....

Copy Number Polymorphism
Category: Molecular Evolution
I have a little bit of an infatuation with copy number polymorphism (CNP), which describes the fact that individuals within a population can differ from each other in gene content. Some genes, such as olfactory receptors (ORs), have many different...

The Frink Tank has jumped the shark and joined the ScienceBlogs evil empire. If you like your science with a dash of humor (and dick jokes) check them out. Another blog, Stoat, has come on board. This one's new to...

What to do with Your Negative Results
Category: Biology
My advisor received an email from a fairly prominent geneticist regarding some results published by Dobzhansky over fifty years ago. The geneticist had done some back of the envelope calculations and noticed some trends that had been overlooked for a...

Evolution Wiki
Category: Evolution
I have always been disappointed by the EvoWiki -- I found that I could get better information on evolutionary biology from the regular Wikipedia. Now some folks have organized the evolution content on Wikipedia into navigation templates. I have not...

It Beats Pairs Figure Skating
Category: Sports
