AT THE CONVERGENCE OF EVOLUTION AND GENETICS

About evolgen

side_view_toon_small.JPG 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.

Genomics:

Watson's Genome

The genome sequence of one of the co-discovers of the structure of DNA gets published.

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...

This is the Future of Eukaryotic Genome Sequencing

As I have mentioned before, de novo sequencing of whole eukaryotic genomes may be a thing of the past (or, at least, these whole genome projects won't be getting very much more common). Instead, I proposed that people would use...

Not all next-gen sequencing technologies are created equal

Can solexa handle A/T rich regions?

Genomics and DNA Barcoding

One locus, many species? Many loci, one species? Why choose?

Judson on Junk and Genome Size

What are genomic fossils?

Charlesworth on Lynch

Is sexual reproduction, not relaxed constraint in small populations, to blame for genomic complexity in eukaryotes?

Jonathan Eisen at the Advances in Genome Biology and Technology Meeting

He live blogged it, and I link to him.

How Easy is it to Write About Junk DNA?

A bunch of haters getting it all wrong.

Gene Chips and Conspiracy Theories

They discover your genetic code!

Francis Collins Should not be Pres. Science Advisor

Nisbet is wrong, Collins is unqualified.

Genetics Links

A cool search tool and some good genetics blogging.

Geese, Ganders, and Genomes

Sex-biased genes and sex chromosomes.

Sequencing, Mapping, and Chips!

These terms get new definitions, thanks to sloppy press offices.

Are Transcription Factors Enriched in Every Dataset?

Is it just me or does every analysis that looks for over-represented gene ontology (GO) terms turn up transcription factors? It doesn't matter if the study is looking for genes under positive selection or something else. It just seems like...

Make that 12 Drosophila Genomes

The 12 Drosophila Genomes Project papers are trickling out.
