Do you think recession did effect Bioinformatics?

Provide penny of your thoughts on how could a biologist or a researcher tackle these issues?

Kudos to Nobel Laureates 2008

Kudso to all nobel prize award winners!

Do you find any controversy in these awards this year especially in Medicine?

Please comment

Do you think the impact of your research depends on the funding you have?

Would you be interested to work bar funding?

Ageing and ethics

With longevity gene having found, where do we see the ethics, values and policy choices? Do you think we should allow a person to live up-to 125 years?

Advocating Personalized Genomics

The era of perosnalized genomics has begun with a person's genome that could be sequenced for just 100 USD by 2015. And recently, several laws have been broken with respect to descriminating people based on the genes.

Do you think there should be more stringent rules? Please opine

Whither human interactome?

Any thoughts on how the entire human interactome would look like?

Defining Omics-es

Dear All,
There are over 380 Omics-es defined so far. Ever since the Gregor Mendelian age, people started defining many omes. But when the Genome was conceptualized, it was considered from GEN+ChromosOME. While today shouldn't there be a debate for other omes as most of the omes today are always relevant to many: For example, proteomics, study of many proteins etc...

Have your say please!

Are we still evolving?

Yes, would be the answer from many. But How? Let's discuss

Does Impact factor matter?
