Synthetic Life
“Creation of a Bacterial Cell Controlled by a Chemically Synthesized Genome” is the title of my current publication of the month. In the recently released paper, the transplantaion of a digitised genome sequence into a bacteria, resulting in the creation of mycoides carrying only this artificial DNA, is described.
As usual the reference can be found on my webpage.
As I missed to put the May issue online … here’s that as well:
“Regression of advanced rat and human gliomas by local or systemic treatment with oncolytic parvovirus H-1 in rat models” reports on rat models testing a virus, harmless to healthy human cells but efficient in killing certain tumor cells.
And again the reference can be found on my webpage.
Enjoy reading!
Publication of the Month
On request I started posting additions to my publication-of-the-month list on this blog. Not that it wouldn’t be obvious when to expect a monthly contribution, but … you know … just the little reminder we sometimes need. Maybe even some feedback … who know!?
This month’s publication is about developments on automatic topic suggestion systems for blog authors. “Inspired by the Audience – A Topic Suggestion System for Blog Writers and Readers” by W. Geyer and C. Dugan from IBM, Cambridge, MA.
As usual this and all previous publications can be found in the publication of the month section of my website (and much easier if you log in).
From Dusk Till Dawn
9 a.m. and I just returned from an amazing F-Com session with Mr. Laurent Garnier. After it was first scheduled at Berghain, the tickets were sold for WMF (which was closed recently), it finally took place at Watergate. At 12 a.m. on a Thursday!? Anyway, it was certainly worth it … man my legs hurt!
The Men Who Stare at Goats
I just noticed that I didn’t post anything about this great movie I’ve seen recently. Hmm… just the cast is impressive and the movie is certainly worth seeing!
Kind a special, but definitely entertaining … go see it!
