Just wanted to let everyone one about the exciting feild of computation biology or Bioinformatics. Those who are intersted to know more about the evolution and how organism have evolved should look up some of the material published on the pubmed.
Intelligent design is the main keyword.
I also just wanted to summerize what went on today at the seminar I attented at SF State. Basically, here are the keywords that I pickup today.
Openjournal.org ( which is currently not up yet) it's a database for Scientists to publish their work and have their peers review them. there seems to be problems associated with the editors of the high profile journals such as science and nature, where they throw out papers without having the specialty in the field. so, some smart people are trying to develope a kind of database where PDF version of the papers are published and accessed by the reviewer's of your choice. Of course, this database will have many check system in place. For Example, you can peer review based on your records of work, as well as your education and etc. It will resemble a social networking site such as facebook but only for professionals.

Hello To everyone
We will be shifting gears toward new themes in our blog. There will be a link soon which will direct you to the site. The goal is to create a community where people could share their knowledge in almost every topic. Its the power of information that gives us the ability to make better decisions for our future so we need to organize this mass of info to something that is understandable for everyone so it can serve its purpose.
Please Stay tuned.
Please Stay tuned.

Hi all,
Just a reminder that we have a (completely optional!) lecture tonight. Topics I'll try to cover include SNP genotyping (as in, how do they figure out which SNPs you have?), some cloning, and the use of enhancer traps, a technique we briefly discussed in the material on Fbx15. Again, the lecture is optional, and will not affect your grade. I will not have the final exams to pass back... if you want your final exam returned, I will pass them back in the second week of the 355 course I run in the summer. Semester grades should be complete by this Friday.
A few other things... Some have asked for good sources of information on biology. I would recommend sciencedaily.com, which does an excellent job of explaining complicated research findings in a comprehensible way.
I would also suggest a subscription to Science magazine, one of the preeminent science journals in the world. The magazine provides both original research papers and multiple reviews that are accessible to "non-experts".
https://pubs.aaas.org/org_membership/new_member_setup.asp
An undergraduate subscription is $75 a year, only $1.50 per weekly issue... less than half the cost of a venti latte at Starbucks.
Finally, if you haven't registered to vote in the fall, it is VERY easy to do... the form, which takes five minutes to complete, is online.

The only way that issues which are important to you will be addressed is if you VOTE. Go register! Do it! :)
Have a great summer,
