Comparing chromatin signatures (DNaseI hypersensitive) and transcript abundances (DGE sequencing) for 3 humans, 3 chimpanzees and 3 macaques shows evidence of gain and loss of regulatory elements that correlate with species-specific phenotypic changes

Comparing chromatin signatures (DNaseI hypersensitive) and transcript abundances (DGE sequencing) for 3 humans, 3 chimpanzees and 3 macaques shows evidence of gain and loss of regulatory elements that correlate with species-specific phenotypic changes. Also, they show that SNPs inside regulatory elements might be responsible for the variation in specie specific functions.

I do absolutely love these kind of data visualisation based on current live events…

I do absolutely love these kind of data visualisation based on current live events (in this case European Championships in Poland/Ukraine) and the effect this has on online social activity. 

Great to see how things response and evolve over the tournament.

Thnx +Michele Mattioni for posting this! 

Really thinks that the event option in G+ looks amazing! Now just hope that they make it possible soon to do more Doodle like option that people can also select preferable date!

/edit. Just found out that there is even a photo share option in the new G+ app that let all the people that attend the same event upload his/her pictures to the same shared album – what a great idea!!
