How “an average” gene is structured, expressed, and regulated is reasonably well understood. Yet, nulla regula sine exceptione. Here we focus on one of the most fascinating exceptions – the ability of eukaryotic genes to code multiple proteins via the use of the alternative reading frames (ARFs). This phenomenon, previously attributed almost exclusively to viruses, finds an unexpected place in mammalian genomes...

We all know were to download genomic data from. Yet the analysis of these data still requires a good deal of scripting, which is done differently by different groups. This does not have to be so difficult. Galaxy is one-of-the-kind web framework for the analysis of genomic data. Read more about it here...
Windshield genomics and more...
How many bugs do you catch with your windshield when you drive through Pennsylvania? Are they all Diptera or is there a bit of Coleoptera mixed in?
