Nature link, I believe.

opened the paper for me without me signing in to my account. That's pretty unusual* for anything from Nature. Let me know if it doesn't work for you - I can email pdfs to any who want one. *Like Rush Limbaugh endorsing Barak Obama unusual.......

Hi Coragyps,
opened the paper for me without me signing in to my account. That's pretty unusual* for anything from Nature. Let me know if it doesn't work for you - I can email pdfs to any who want one. My experience is that they let a few current issue articles be available until the next issue (or something like that), so grab a read while you can.

It's hard to say why, but I've always felt that there's something about gorillas that makes them feel closer to us than chimps. Something in their eyes. It's like they're more grown up - chimps are like fractious children in comparison. Gorillas seem more, well, considered....
My feelings on this matter overrule the genetic evidence, so obviously I now have to form a semi-religious organisation and campaign to overturn the obviously defective science. I'll call my new theory Irreducable Empathy. Just send money.Life, don't talk to me about life - Marvin the Paranoid Android

Sorry, pet peeve. It really annoys me when people describe genome sequencing as "decoding" or "deciphering"; it's nothing of the sort.
This is cool though. The rate at which we're sequencing new genomes is going to usher in a radical new era of biology.

Hi Tangle.
My feelings on this matter overrule the genetic evidence, so obviously I now have to form a semi-religious organisation and campaign to overturn the obviously defective science. I'll call my new theory Irreducable Empathy. Just send money. I've often wondered how easy it would be to set up a foundation here to further the study of ID, solicit funding and provide grants for kids to go to university and study biology.

Hi Mr Jack
peek at ≠
Sorry, pet peeve. It really annoys me when people describe genome sequencing as "decoding" or "deciphering"; it's nothing of the sort. Yeah, it's rooted in the thought of DNA being a code rather than a recipe, and thus encourages poor thinking.
This is cool though. The rate at which we're sequencing new genomes is going to usher in a radical new era of biology. And the more apes added the more fascinating will be the evidence. Any idea where they are with gibbons, siamangs?by our ability to understand Rebel American Zen Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

Hi RAZD
peek at ≠ I know how to do ≠, I just don't generally bother. I was a C++ programmer for a very long time, after all
Yeah, it's rooted in the thought of DNA being a code rather than a recipe, and thus encourages poor thinking. DNA is neither a code nor a recipe; both are wildly inaccurate analogies. In any case, it wasn't really that which got my goat; it's that sequencing does very little to actually increase our understanding of the genome. It's the work that follows that does that.
And the more apes added the more fascinating will be the evidence. Any idea where they are with gibbons, siamangs? No idea. But a quick search turned up this which you can trawl through to find out.

Hi again Mr Jack
No idea. But a quick search turned up this which you can trawl through to find out. Looks like 3 projects in progress on the Northern white-cheeked gibbon Nomascus leucogenys and one recently completed on the Golden-mantled howling monkey Alouatta palliata. Comparisons will be interesting. Enjoy.by our ability to understand Rebel American Zen Deist ... to learn ... to think ... to live ... to laugh ... to share.

And a very exciting one on the origin of Multicellularity.

Exciting indeed, did you read the pdf of the rationale?
