Our series of genetics interviews continues this week with another impressive scientist, Dr. Alex Palazzo of The Daily Transcript. Alex is a cell biologist currently at Harvard Medical School studying RNA and the endoplasmic reticulum. If you keep your eyes on his blog, he has some amazing pictures of these cellular components. His […]

If I had all the time in the world to blog here at Genetics and Health, I’d probably include a lot more on the science of genetics. As it is, I’m an avid reader of general science magazines–Scientific American and The Scientist–and wish more people would get into science as well instead of being […]
Sandra at Discovering Biology in a Digital World is hosting this week’s Tangled Bank #51, a sample of the best in science blogging. This issue takes us on a science tour of one the nicest cities in the world - Seattle. Here are some of the contributions that will interest Genetics and Health […]
How many genes does it take to be alive? In humans, it certainly takes more than one, but probably less than 25,000. Basic life forms such as bacteria may require twice as many “minimal genes” as previously thought.
By knocking out genes one at a time from a microbe’s genome, scientists identify which of […]
Genetics blogging started off on a good note this morning when I received an e-mail from Trevor Covert of Epigenetics News.
I have been a reader of Genetics and Health for quite awhile and enjoy all of the information and relevant issues that it brings to discussions around the break room at our lab.
Thank you […]
So I keep talking about “the selfish gene,” but have we ever talked about what it is? That’s this week’s genetics quiz question:
What are selfish genes?

I may not be a hard bloggin’ scientist, but I am an SOB of the week at Successful Blog.
I hope Alex Palazzo doesn’t think Genetics and Health is “crap” and full of “fluff,” but even if he does, I’m still proud of this blog. Genetics and Health doesn’t necessarily share the most cutting-edge genomic […]

how the co-ordinated action of […]
Larry at Rural Rambles is hosting this issue of Tangled Bank #43. My eyes are a bit out of focus as is my brain after reading so many entries on the amazing world of science. Here are the ones that touch on genetics:
