Hi everyone!
Welcome to Mendel’s garden #3, as can be seen 40 celsius of temperature has not been enough to stop our bloggers. My apologies for the one day delay, but yesterday there was a power cut in half of the city that prevented me from using the computer.
Well, let’s see what comes from the melting blogs, by the way, I have ordered the posts timewise, so the first that I got is the first in the list, and so on. No preferences:

We start with Maggie Kirk from Genomics policy blog, whose post entitled “Mendel’s Garden – blog carnival on genetics: Some thoughts on the value of peas” reminds us a bit of history and social implications of genetics.

David Ng from the World’s fair shows an alternative way of using DNA… to make music!

Like birds? then have a look at Joe Kissel’s post at interesting thing of the day about the kakapo, a flightless parrot from New Zealand whose naive behaviour is putting the species at the edge of extinction.

Tara at aetiology has a post about the diverse foci where H5N1 appeared in Nigeria, and how phylogenetic analysis helps us to understand the origins and spread of the disease.

Rich at evolgen shows why mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is not as reliable as previously thought to infer certain characteristics of a population.

In genetics and health we have got a four parts story of a woman (Rica Lode) and her search for preimplantation genetic diagnosis.

From RadicalHop comes a particular “comparison” between…

In salamander candy we have a interesting proposal : that of stimulating people interested in science to browse sequence data and mine it in search for the secrets stored in the net.

At Migrations we can find a comment of an article about the evolution of phosphoinositol 3-kinases in eukaryotes.

My post is about polyploidy in prokaryotes.

I hope everything is fine and if not try to find me in the sunny beach of the south of Spain where I am… I’m the hairy and tanned one…

One last comment: It is starting to be annoying the amount of ads that some blogs have. I didn’t start a blog to pay my bills.

Salud y Libertad! (health and freedom for you all!)
…and Viva la Evolucion!
