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.:
Our Random World – Looking at data to distinguish between random and probabilistic modes of transcriptional initiation.
Anthropomicrobiology – How much do you know about the microbes that live in you?
MicroRNAs: a picture may emerge – Trying to interpret puzzling data from recent papers.
Early Metastasis – Discussion of some evidence that metastasis isn’t necessarily a very late event in cancer development.
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.
Reconstruction of Ancestral Proteins – Work backwards on the tree of life.
An Integrin is Identified as a Co-Receptor for HIV – Remember HIV?
Why do Bacteria Filament? – A nice review of a microbial behavior.
He Wnt that way – And a nice review on Wnt Signaling.
