  A New Step In Evolution [The Loom] One of the most important experiments in evolution is going on right now in a laboratory in Michigan State University. A dozen flasks full of E. coli are sloshing around on a gently rocking table. The bacteria in those flasks has been evolving since 1988...

  What's encoded in your genome [The Daily Transcript] So in previous posts I've written: How to think about biology , Life is full of machines and Life and information . I guess I'm on some philosophy of Biological study kick. Now I'll put the pieces of the puzzle and talk about what those proteins...

  Inferring Demographic History Using Multiple Loci [evolgen] One of the drums I beat around here pertains to inferring demographic history using molecular markers (i.e., DNA data). I've been known to go off on people who make claims about ancestral population sizes based on studies of a single locus or gene...
