"These findings join a growing body of evidence that the classic "central dogma" of genetics is incomplete. In the central dogma, chromosomal DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated by the cell into proteins. In recent years, however, scientists have found that not all transcribed RNA molecules become translated into proteins. In fact, studies have shown that whole swathes of the genome are transcribed for unknown reasons."

Heh. siRNAs, snoRNAs, now long ncRNAs. Add to that funky splicing of RNA and proteins and the Central Dogma seems like an oversimplification. I was never taught Central Dogma thinking, and cringed when folks would use it in presentations. Biology is messy and the Central Dogma really doesn't capture it. 🙂

"Utopia Documents links scientific research papers to the data and to the community. It enables publishers to enhance their publications with additional material, interactive graphs and models. It allow the reader to access a wealth of data resources directly from the paper they are viewing, makes private notes and start public conversations."

Yeah. It's happening.

Great map. This guy's good.

Brilliant. Very much aspects of a text service I dreamed up so long ago and was to lazy to ever build.

"And yet, somehow we're left with mainstream media coverage that's often sterile, formulaic, unimaginative. Writing covered with the stench of the intellectual decay that inevitably comes from the meek acceptance of often-arbitrary rules. Science deserves better, and as science blogs rack up ever increasing millions of readers every month, traditional media companies still dragging their feet will need to respond, sooner or later. That, or face irrelevance."

Absolutely brilliant.
