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"
