I've got far too many tabs open in my browser window, and I gotta blog them ASAP so that I can clean up the ol' computer. Here are a few things I've been meaning to blog, in list form:
- Nature Genetics has published an issue devoted to structural variation in genomes. There appears to be a bias toward human genomes, but it's cool nonetheless. Also, I'm pretty sure all the articles are FREE ACCESS.
- The most recent issue of Molecular Ecology has a bunch of articles on the genetics of speciation. There's also an article on the genetics of pigmentation variation in Drosophila melanogaster.
- Peter Andolfatto and pals have published a good review on detecting natural selection in genomes. This article, along with this one by Rasmus Nielsen, should be required reading for anyone interested in population genetics.

John Dupuis has been writing Confessions of a Science Librarian since the time blogging software was really physically soft, being made of clay and shaped like a tablet. We finally got to meet face-to-face at the Science Blogging Conference last month - a meeting long overdue until then.

I came across this excellent article by Jerry Coyne, which is part book review, part defense of natural selection. I recommend it highly. But, in reading the article, I wondered why people are so threatened by natural selection. Because that's not the philosophically challenging part. Unless…
Ask and ye shall receive. In a recent post on eugenics, I claimed that the connection between early 20th century genetics and early 21st century genetic engineering was weak. I asked if anyone thought I was wrong, and in no time I got a comment from Razib at Gene Expression.
He suggests that I'm…
