Challenges to the Common Dogma
Some 15 years ago, Gane (now Dr. Gane Ka-Shu Wong, Professor and iCORE Chair in Biosystems Informatics, University of Alberta, Canada) and I were staring at a set of plots and scratching our heads, wondering why there was a negative GC-content gradient when we aligned human transcripts from 50 to 30 to the genome. Until we had published several papers on other more interesting issues based on a...

I first met Susan Lindquist in 1994 when I was a postdoc interviewing for a faculty position at the University of Chicago. Wemet for breakfast at a local diner.We talked about our s...
متن کاملEpigenetics, Darwin, and Lamarck

We must all keep learning about inheritance, but attributing modern ideas to early researchers is not helpful, and can be misleading.
متن کاملThe return of Lamarck?
In the last decade researchers have produced immense amounts of genetic data resulting in many sequenced genomes. Although we may now know the DNA sequence in a genome, just as seeing all the letters of a book, deciphering which sequences encode genes, let alone understanding which combination of genes are required to organize life, is like decoding the meaning of a book written in a language n...
