Science Magazine Special Issue on H5N1 #Links #Microbes

"As a service to the community, AAAS is also making these articles free to the public. "

Would be nice to make ALL of Science available to the public but AAAS is a dinosaur of sorts. Anyway — at least these are available. (Thanks to Eileen Choffnes for the links).

I am an evolutionary biologist and a Professor at U. C. Davis. (see my lab site here). My research focuses on the origin of novelty (how new processes and functions originate). To study this I focus on sequencing and analyzing genomes of organisms, especially microbes and using phylogenomic analysis View all posts by Jonathan Eisen
