Mailund on the Internet

It is Sunday, so it is time for me to list the blog posts I found interesting this week.

This week I’ve had a bit of a fight with creationism, so I’ve read some blog posts on that, but I am not going to dignify the discussion with linking to them here.

Instead it will just be the usual list of programming and bioinformatics links.

Enjoy!

Bioinformatics

• The curse of BLAST (bbgm)
• Neaderthal genome will be released (Greg Laden)
• Cryptic variation in the human mutation rate (PLoS Biology)
  • Mutation patterns in the human genome are more variable than expected (Greg Laden)

• A (brief) introduction to Python-Core development (Jesse Noller)
• Fancy debugging with gdb (emacs-fu)
