Editor’s Selections: Evolution in a breast tumor, the birth of dragons, and Dr. Granville’s mummy
October 9th, 2009 Editor's Selections No Comments
Vincent Racaniello selects several notable posts each week from molecular and cellular biology and virology. He blogs at virology blog.
- The nucleotide sequence of the genome and transcriptome of a metastatic lobular breast cancer and was compared with that of a sample of the original tumor. The analysis reveals mutations that arose during development of the tumor.
- Did Komodo dragons start out small and evolve large size because they were on small islands? Or were they just big from the start?
- Tuberculosis, not cancer, killed Dr. Granville’s mummy
I’ll be back next Friday with more selections.
