I have in front of me a copy of the book "Nucleotide sequences 1984 Part 1 A compilation from the GenBankTM and EMBL data libraries" published by IRL Press. Wow, what a surreal book for anyone used to dealing with sequence...
Mendeley, Zotero, Papers, Citeulike, and others are all playing the social reference management game. You store your PDFs in their excellent programmes and then you can start to be social; form groups, browse subject categories, subscribe to other people's reference lists....
I've been reading a lot recently about reproducible research (RR) in bioinformatics on several blogs, and Google+ and Twitter. The idea is that it is important that someone is easily able to reproduce* your results (and even figures) from your...
Two 3-year PDRAs are available to study the 'evolutionary genomics of sexual recombination'- how reproductive mode influences genome content and structure. Applications are now closed -please see Research Openings page for other opportunities. ...
Applications for this post are now closed. (A 2-year postdoc is available .. this project will be to use modern DNA techniques to investigate agricultural food webs, focussing especially on the interaction of parasitoid wasps with aphids and leaf miners). I will...
We are applying sensitive DNA barcoding approaches to understand host parasitoid interactions in agricultural systems. We are now able to screen the host species of parasitoid wasps (e.g. aphids) for the presence of parasitoid DNA using rapid PCR techniques. These...
