Notes from the Biomass

Friday morning is my regular time to check the scientific RSS-feeds, skim through Nature and Science and empty my mail folder for eTOCs. Being a blogger handicapped in screen-reading, I print more papers than I could ever read. Here's one that I started reading on the way from the printer and continued through: Jan Ihmels et al describe the large scale changes to gene expression after the genome duplication events in the yeasts and the loss of motif in Saccharomyces. Good stuff, I just hope that the differences they see primarliy are not caused by the different sizes and ways the samples from Candida and Saccharomyces were generated in the first place.
