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.

Press Releases are Written by Stupid People
PLoS Biology's press releases have taken another step toward being dismissed as "crap" by people who know jack shit about evolution, thanks to a new press release published last week.Posted on April 9, 2008 10:00 AM • 11 Comments
Evidence that Men Think With Their Junk
Us dudes are always accused of thinking with our dicks. Perhaps it's because the genes expressed in our brains are similar to those expressed in our 'nads: Among the 17 tissues, the highest similarity in gene expression patterns was between...Posted on April 8, 2008 3:00 PM • 3 Comments

What's the deal with "virgin birth" (parthenogenesis)?
Not all animals must have sex with another individual to produce perfectly viable offspring. And neither do humans, thanks to technological breakthroughs in artificial insemination. But what about those critters that do not require masturbation and meat basters to...Posted on December 3, 2007 9:00 AM • 9 Comments
Of Geese and Ganders
Brian at Laelaps has written a post entitled "What's good for the gander isn't always good for the goose", in which he describes some examples of sexual dimorphism in charismatic vertebrates. Studying the phenotypes of these traits is interesting, but...Posted on November 23, 2007 8:00 AM • 2 Comments
