Around the Blogs
This week, around the blogs is a bit heavy on the science posts, and light on the meta-science. First though, by way of Jake at Pure Pedantry, is an attractive visual demonstration of the cell cycle, from Sakaue-Sawano et al.:

Genomes & Junk DNA - Larry Moran blogs a lot about, well, junk in your genome, and he’s added a few more posts recently.
Hot a on ? action! - Learn about Yeast sex.
