This video is a surreal presentation of a Metabolic Melody by Kevin Ahern (www.davincipress.com/metabmelodies.html for more info). The tune is The Beatle's "Across the Universe." The lyrics and video are by Kevin Ahern and the recording is by David Simmons

The assessment of iron status where infections are common is complicated by the effects of inflammation on iron indicators and in this study we compared approaches that adjust for this influence. Blood was collected in 680 children (aged 6–35 mo) and indicators of iron status [(hemoglobin (Hb), zinc protoporphyrin (ZP), ferritin, transferrin receptor (TfR), and TfR/ferritin index)] and subclinical inflammation [(the acute phase proteins (APP) C-reactive protein (CRP), and a-1-acid...

Neil Miller, Deputy Director of Software Engineering at the National Center for Genome Resources, discusses a monozygotic twin study on June 2, 2010 at the "Sequencing, Finishing, Analysis in the Future" meeting in Santa Fe, NM.

Here we present two new algorithms hosted within the PhyloFacts phylogenomic encyclopedias.

Larry Kedes from the X PRIZE Foundation and the University of Southern California speaks at the "Sequencing, Finishing, Analysis in the Future" meeting in Santa Fe, NM on May 28, 2009.

There is a glaring gap in microbial genome sequence availability – the currently available genome sequences show a highly biased phylogenetic distribution compared to the extent of microbial diversity known today. This bias has resulted in major limitations in our knowledge of microbial genome complexity and our understanding of the evolution, physiology and metabolic capacity of microbes. Although there have been small efforts in sequencing genomes from across the tree of life for...
