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.

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!!

No matter what you think of piracy, or how this has to be dealt with, I truly think it's a shame that the UK will extradite Richard O'Dwyer, a British citizen, to the US for alleged crimes committed in the UK that, so-far, have not been an issue in the UK.

Does this mean that any British citizen has to be afraid to not break any american law that might upset any major american industry?

So if you ban scientist from doing the, according to them, most accurate way of predictions by introducing a ban on exponential models this helps society in what way?! Since when are law makers capable to determine what the best models for scientist should be? Research from the US Geological Survey (USGS) shows that sea levels are rising much faster between North Carolina and Massachusetts than anywhere else in the world

Research from the US Geological Survey (USGS) shows that sea levels are rising much faster between North Carolina and Massachusetts than anywhere else in the world. The news comes less than two weeks after North Carolina's Senate passed a bill banning state agencies from reporting predictions of increasing rates of sea-level rise.

Kinda cool study about facebook influence dynamics!

A Science paper about facebook network dynamics… let's take a look at their abstract.

"Estimation in a representative sample of 1.3 million Facebook users showed that younger users are more susceptible than older users, men are more influential than women, women influence men more than they influence other women, and married individuals are the least susceptible to influence in the decision to adopt the product we studied".

Yup. Reading techcrunch on a daily basis could have told you this. However, their method of testing using "in vivio randomized" experiments isn't a bad idea and probably does a good job of testing their "influentials" hypothesis. Essentially a random set of people were sent a message to repost a like. As expected, influential people will share the post and the post would spread though their influential friends acting as nodes. Nothing really surprising but a nice way to statistically validate that hypothesis.

I want to clean up my SD card but haven't found an easy way yet to unselect my offline synced music quickly. Especially songs added from playlists have to be found one-by-one and then deselected. Tips/Suggestions?
