With the massive amount of papers and vast amount of data in the pipeline for the Human Encode project you would almost forget that the same principle (try to apply all molecular assays onto all kind of cell types) is being applied to other species like in Mouse ECODE project. As mouse is one of the laboratories work horses this kind of projects are essential for the advancements in like drug development or in general a better understanding of molecular biology. Will be great to see over the next couple of years how this project is evolving and how much of the results are comparable with the Human.

Reshared post from +Jennifer Ouellette

"Estimates of the number of calories in different kinds of foods measure the average number of calories we could get from those foods based only on the proportions of fat, carbohydrates, protein and sometimes fiber they contain (In essence, calories ingested minus calories egested). A variety of standard systems exist, all of which derive from the original developed by Wilbur Atwater more than a hundred years ago. They are all systems of averages. No food is average." http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/guest-blog/2012/08/27/the-hidden-truths-about-calories/

WTF – the only way way is essex goes Lion style. You would expect that evolution doesn't suddenly create an UK lion and thus someone has lost his/her pet

Lion reported to be on the loose near Clacton
Armed officers and police helicopter join hunt for creature apparently caught on camera by member of the public
