I keep it to remind me what science is actually about (and Cool is not!). Alfonso uses it to illustrate some of the things enraging him about the current state of research – his blog is worth a read.
By Steve, on January 31st, 2012%  A fantastic paper from Giacomo Cavalli’s lab – a whole genome Hi-C map of the fly genome develops a model of the way the fly genome is partitioned into regulatory domains in the nucleus. This is a technical tour-de-force that provides a basis for exploring how the genome is partitioned into active and inactive domains in the 3D space of the nucleus.

By Steve, on March 21st, 2011%  I seemed to have missed this with it’s stealth release over the festive season. A fantastic experiment from Pavel Tomancak’s lab. There is a related paper from Diethard Tautz in the same issue.
By Steve, on March 21st, 2011%  The 18th March issue of Cell is devoted to Systems Biology & includes a number of interesting reviews.

By jelena, on July 28th, 2010% A scary and thought-provoking post about the evidence of spin in published academic research. The sort of science not to do.
