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.

Publishing Original Research on Blogs - Part 1
Category: Admin • Genomics • Molecular Evolution • Science Education
This is a repost (with some edits) of an introduction to publishing original research on blogs -- a series I am reintroducing. The original entry can be found here. In April of last year, Bora pushed the idea of publishing...

Multicellular Eukaryotic Genomes are Teh Suck
Category: Genomics • Molecular Evolution • Science News
The human genome is one big, bloated motherfucker. It's almost all non-protein-coding DNA. The same is true for many other eukaryotic genomes. Sure, some of it has a function. But a whole lot of it is just junk.

Publishing Original Research on Blogs -- Revisited
Category: Admin • Genomics • Molecular Evolution • Science Education • Vanity
Over a year ago I threatened to perform some original research and publish it on my blog. I got as far as writing an introduction to the project, but I never actually posted any data. Well, the project is back!

Is there anything Copy Number Variation cannot do?
Category: Drosophila • Evolution • Molecular Evolution
Carl Zimmer has a post covering three recent papers on gene duplication: one on amylase variation in humans, one on whole genome duplication in yeast, and one on duplications of genes in the Drosophila arizonae reproductive tract. In all three...

The Future of Eukaryotic Genome Sequencing Is Here
Category: Genomics • Phylogenetics
Remember when I said that the near future of eukaryotic genome sequence would involve sequencing EST libraries (collections of mRNA, or transcribed genes) rather than de novo sequencing of whole genomes? Well, I did, even if you don't remember....
