  I am going to assume that, as a B5 blogger, I am not eligible, so I will cross-post this on Babylune.

  Aaron: I’ll consider the relevance of your comment at a later date. LOL :D

  I used to give away souvenirs from wherever I’m living at the time but London is hardly as exotic as Vietnam or Japan.

  I enjoy reading the genetics and health posts. I was always interested in genetics in school, but not enough to take tons of A&P and biology classes in college. I HATE those two classes. If there were a philosophical genetics curriculum, I’d take that in a heartbeat!

  Even though I don’t comment much, I do read every single one. Way to go and Happy Birthday!

  Jenmcd: Hi!!! Thanks for leaving a comment. It means a lot to me that this blog is better than some stinky class in college. :D

  SP: Thank you so much! It has definitely been way more fun than I could have ever imagined.

  Christina: Thank you!!! Couldn’t have made it this far without you.

  Wishing you a Happy Blogbirthday.

  I am always inspired by your blog, your writing and how you are able to make genetics so easy for me to grasp. Now if I only had you as my professor years ago, I might have gone into the hard sciences!!

  Continued Success!!!!!!!

  Happy Anniversary! What do you think of the possible genetic link to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?? It’s such a hard process to deal with.. Would love to have some expert advice to give my future patients!!

  i just found out about chemical genetics…i think this a very interesting field in genetics that has a lot of medical applications. I bumped into one article that i blogged about here:

  Deb: Thanks!! Without this blog, I would have never met you so I’m really grateful. BTW, if you ask some people, I bet they’d say biology and genetics were soft sciences too! :)

  NPs Save Lives: Thank you!! I would emphasize to your patients that the data are still very preliminary but, hopefully, someday it will be possible to suss out the different subtypes of CFS and develop specific treatments.

  For more info, see my post: Genetic Basis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

  Gloria: Thanks for the link, Gloria.

  […] Good thing Emma Tonkin at Genomics Policy, a University of Glamorgan weblog, is on top of things. From her I found out that today is National DNA Day! Sponsored by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), it’s perfect timing because this week, I happen to be celebrating Genetics and Health’s first birthday. […]

  Actually, I have a genetics question that’s been in the back of my mind for a while: what is known about the effect of maternal regulation of gene expression during pregnancy? Is this something that would create a measurable difference in traits of children who were adopted versus those raised by mothers who used donor eggs but carried to term themselves?

• Hsien Hsien Lei, PhD

  L’el: Thanks for the question! There is some evidence that uterine environment does have an epigenetic effect on the genes of offspring.

  Encouraging conversation in the health area is a great goal. I prefer this than just talking politics.

  […] One of the first genetics blogs, Gene Expression (GNXP), is celebrating its fourth birthday this week. When I first got started a year ago, GNXP was one of the first to welcome me on their blogroll. For that, I’ll forever be grateful and one of its founders, Razib, will be featured in a genetics interview soon. […]
