strange things... #2

s.t.i.h.d.w.p. #2 comes from back in the days when i was a scientist.



it is a map of the human genome, published in science when they first finished the mapping project. big enough to put up on your wall. i had felt compelled to keep it, but not to display it. it stayed folded under my dresser (the one in which i found the fork).

compelled no longer.

You should keep it, and hang it up so your place doesn't seem so empty.

I would absolutely want a poster of the human genome. I probably wouldn't be able to make any sense of it, but that's okay. Actually, I'm kind of surprised they can fit it all on a poster in a manner that would be worth looking at. Is there some sort of organizational pattern to the genome, or is it just genes strung together in a random order? I kind of assumed it was the latter, but the view of the poster looks like it has some sort of logic to it.

Hi, by the way. I used to read your blog but then I tried to stop blogging for a while, and now I'm back for a visit. Have a good one.

alas, j, i'd send it to you but it has already been thrown out.

there is an organizational pattern to the genome, and it is as the genes are lined up on the chromosomes.

by the way, hiiiiiiieeeeee. welcome back; hope you enjoyed your visit.

I was going to ask a follow up question because either I didn't really phrase my original question correctly, or you misunderstood it. But then I decided I should just go find a genetics book rather than bother you about this stuff.
