Apologies !!!
Apologies for not updating the blog for past few days ,being in final year of p.hd it gets sometimes very difficult to get some time out for blog. Need to finish many experiments in order to get my project in some good shape. Lot of genetic experiments and also invitro stuff are keeping me busy.But will try to write some updates as many interesting things are coming up in the field of evolution and developmental biology. Today we will check some interesting articles and reviews which appeared last week in leading journals.
The journal Bioessays is slowly becoming my favourite as they are coming up with some really nice stuff.As many might know that Bioessays only publishes extensive reviews in the field of Genetics and Evolution written by leading researchers in the field ,which gives the reader a decent view about the topic.This is very useful for topics of which we have little knowledge and want to gain insights. From the latest edition my picks are :
Compagen, a comparative genomics platform for early branching metazoan animals, reveals early origins of genes regulating stem-cell differentiation
Georg Hemmrich, Thomas C.G. Bosch
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/abstract/121411749/ABSTRACT
Pages: 1010-1018
Shaping segments: Hox gene function in the genomic age
Stefanie D. Hueber, Ingrid Lohmann
http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/cgi-bin/abstract/121411718/ABSTRACT
Pages: 965-979
Link to BioEssays
Development Journal ,from the people of The Company of Biologists published a paper from Gerhard Technau’s lab dealing with the roles of Hox genes Ubx and Antp in central nervous system.They show convincing results to demonstrate that Ubx executes the role by counteracting the function of Antp in promoting survival of motoneurons.
There is also some decent stuff for the enthusiasts of pattern formation.Johannes Jaeger, David Irons, and Nick Monk comes with an hyposthesis in current issue:
Regulative feedback in pattern formation: towards a general relativistic theory of positional information Development 2008 135:3175-3183

Thanks for visiting!
Understandable Nagraj… Hope everything is going smooth wrt your research work
I can only wish as you are in a totally different field where I am a biz zero 
I scored the lowest in Biology, History and Hindi during my school days.
Cheers,
Ajith
Yeah things are fine …….research work is going on …….but need to speed up to finish in time…….as this is my last year………thanks very much for ur regular visits and comments…….in spite of not knowing subject…….
