By Steve, on October 15th, 2013  A very warm welcome to Alex Chen and Josh Maher, who have just joined the lab as grad students. Alex will be working on the Hox specificity project and Alex will be extending the Joy of Sox into other insect species.
Hope you have fun guys!
By Steve, on September 17th, 2013  Alfonso Martinez-Arias has disseminated a copy of the spoof journal Cool (get it here) that has been pinned to my office wall for well over 20 years. 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 July 31st, 2013  David and Sang’s work with our Colleagues at Fred Hutchinson & Pregenen in Seattle, engineering homing endonucleases to recognise new target sequences, is now available from PLoS ONE. Great job everyone.
By Steve, on June 9th, 2013  Many congratulations to our PartII project student Max Fitz-James on winning the Thoday Prize for the best Genetics student this year. Good luck with your impending PhD in Edinburgh Max.
By Steve, on March 27th, 2013  Papers (& full library) now on Mendeley. Profile at http://www.mendeley.com/profiles/steve-russell/
By Steve, on March 22nd, 2013  We done to Sarah’s PartII project student Max Fitz-James, he generated some pilot DNAse-seq data from melanogaster and yakuba embryos. Around 12 million mapped reads from the IonTorrent generated ~ 1.5 billion bases of sequence. Not so bad for an 8-week project.
By Steve, on February 4th, 2013  The addition of mbv finally tips the iTunes library over the 30,000 tracks barrier – my obsessive music collecting (definite sad old man syndrome) has accumulated 92 days worth of music at an average rate 0f 2 tracks a day since I bought my first record in 1975 (Pink Floyd – A Nice Pair). Estimated cost in excess of £20 grand, estimated value – priceless.
By Steve, on January 21st, 2013  I have been tardy in updating the SysBio centre iTunes library, consequently there is about 5 days of new music that’s just been added. I’m liking The Lost Tapes, a series of CAN tracks from 68-77, and well worth a listen. This spurred me to get digital copies of my old vinyl so plenty more CAN. Other stuff includes Errors, Eat Lights Become Lights, Gnod, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Neil Young & the Horse (Psychedelic Pill – excellent), Richard Hawley (standing at the ski’s Edge – very good), PAWS (a young Glasgow band on FatCat records) Psychedelic Horseshit, Odonis Odonis, Crocodiles, King Creosote, Scott Walker & loads more. Your sure to find something worth listing to!
By Steve, on January 19th, 2013  Our paper describing improvement performance of the Homing Endonuclease strategy in Drosophila is out now in PLoS ONE. Great job by Sang David along with the two undergrad project students, Ruth and Eleanor who contributed to the work.
By Steve, on January 5th, 2013  Ten weeks from first submission to publication is a very impressive performance from BMC Dev Biol. This included decent, well considered reviews and a rapid re-review.
Identifying targets of the Sox domain protein Dichaete in the Drosophila CNS via targeted expression of dominant negative proteins. (BMC Dev Biol) is work by Shih-Pei and Jelena exploring tissue-specific Dichaete phenotypes & gene expression responses.
