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…

Both SteelyKid's kindergarten and the snow-day day-care program that the kids go to were closed today, which kind of threw a wrench in things. But it's also kind of fun, as I got to spend some time playing outside with SteelyKid on her play set in the snow. The "featured image" above is a cell-phone snap from this, and I got three short video clips of her going down the slide. Of course, it's…
Pouches, pockets and sacs in the heads, necks and chests of mammals, part IV: reindeer and a whole slew of others
I really must get this series on pouches, sacs and pockets finished. Last time, we looked at baleen whales (and then I got distracted by Caperea): in these animals, a large, inflatable laryngeal sac is used in producing loud, resonating noises (though roles in gas storage or the mechanics of exhalation have also been suggested). Another ventrally located laryngeal sac is present in the…
Ask Ethan: Why can't I see Mercury without a telescope? (Synopsis)
"I long ago abandoned the notion of a life without storms, or a world without dry and killing seasons. Life is too complicated, too constantly changing, to be anything but what it is. And I am, by nature, too mercurial to be anything but deeply wary of the grave unnaturalness involved in any attempt to exert too much control over essentially uncontrollable forces." -Kay Redfield Jamison Under…
