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…

Does mammography save lives? A new study shows that this is a harder question than you might think
Mammography is a topic that, as a breast surgeon, I can't get away from. It's a useful tool that those of us who treat breast cancer patients have used for over 30 years to detect breast cancer in asymptomatic women and thus (or so we hope) decrease their risk of dying of breast cancer through early intervention. We have always known, however, that mammography is an imperfect tool. Oddly enough,…
