Last three weeks in the blogs
Sorry it has been such a long time since the last summary. With the flu and finishing the orangutan genome paper, I haven’t been around for a while, and not even had enough time to keep up on the blogs…
Anyway, with only a bit of reading over the last three weeks, this is all I have selected.

- Summary of all the MIT Introduction to Algorithms lectures (good coders code, great reuse)
- Including R plots in LaTeX (Michael Knudsen)
- Computers aren’t science (Evolving Thoughts)
- Next permutation — when C++ gets it right (Word Aligned)
Genetics and Evolution
- Revisiting FOXP2 and the origins of language (Not exactly rocket science)
- Portraying the fact, but losing the theory (Laelaps)
- deCODE Genetics declare bankruptcy, will sell core business to US investors (Genetic Future)
- Reviewing the clock, and phylogenomics (John Hawks)
Physics
