Over at GNXP Classic Ikwa points to some papers from the PLOS One project, which facilitates public feedback in the peer review process. Ikwa has a full list of papers, but I'll list the ones that he highlighted as of particular interest:

  • Melanesian mtDNA Complexity
  • Meta-Analysis in Genome-Wide Association Datasets: Strategies and Application in Parkinson Disease
  • Expression Signature Predicts Human Breast Cancer Prognosis
  • Catechol-O-Methyltransferase Gene Polymorphism Modifies the Effect of Coffee Intake on Incidence of Acute Coronary Events
  • Transcriptional Changes Common to Human Cocaine, Cannabis and Phencyclidine Abuse
  • Heterozygote Advantage for Fecundity
  • Invasion and Persistence of a Selfish Gene in the Cnidaria
  • Genetic Influences on Exercise Participation in 37.051 Twin Pairs from Seven Countries
  • The Evolution of Mammalian Gene Families
  • Selection for Heterozygosity Gives Hope to a Wild Population of Inbred Wolves

There are a several more good papers since that list was compiled. These two rice paper certainly deserve attention:

  • Single Feature Polymorphism Discovery in Rice
  • Global Identification and Characterization of Transcriptionally Active Regions in the Rice Genome

and my personal favourite:

  • Transient Receptor Potential Ion Channels Control Thermoregulatory Behaviour in Reptiles

Canada is not a "free society"
March 24, 2010
That's all I have to say to Eric Michael Johnson's post, Ann Coulter, Hate Speech, and Free Societies. OK, seriously, from what I recall Eric is an American, though resident in the forgotten north. American absolutist stances on free speech are not shared by most Western societies, so demanding…

What Does a Faster-Than-Light Object Look Like?
I exchanged a bunch of emails a week or two ago with a journalist who was working on a story involving the possibility of faster-than-light travel. He wanted me to check some statements about the relationship between FTL and causality. FTL creates problems for causality, because if you have an object moving faster than light, there will be pairs of observers who see events involving the FTL…
Happy Valentine's Day from Your Computer
In 2007, my friends at m ss ng peces and I started work on a new Internet-television show called RESET, for the Sundance Channel. The idea was to make a show designed for computers to watch, that could teach them what it was like to be human -- a show that, while ostensibly made for human beings, would also nourish our computers' circuit boards with generous descriptions of the richness of human…
