"Drosophila Fringe (D-Fng) was first identified because of its role in positioning Notch activation in specialized boundary cells along the dorsal–ventral compartment border of the wing. Subsequently, D-Fng and its three vertebrate homologues, Lunatic Fringe (Lfng), Manic Fringe ( Mfng) and Radical Fringe (Rfng),"

hindbrain

Sarah Guthrie Development 132, 4483-4495.
The name of one of the authors is spelled incorrectly as Mambitisaeva in the printed and on-line versions of
this article.
The correct spelling is Mambetisaeva.
The authors apologise for this mistake.
I'm sure she forgives them.

Jul. 10th, 2015 09:04 amApparently a colleague of a friend both of whom work in an establishment I frequent described me as a "statuesque amazon"
Also my sardonic other half is deeply engaged in planning a super-secret LARP with another friend which will involve the party being an anti-Cthulhoid horrors investigatory team working for a shadowy conspiracy. He makes the words "insanity system" sound so beautifully sexy. I cannot wait for them to devise it fully so I can make a character*. He won't tell me more than the basics but he keeps burying his head in the sourcebooks of various systems and asking his friends about skill trees.
*And the costume for the character. My dressmaking skills have not been used for a while. Although first I wish to construct a larpsafe laytex bowie knife+, as my poor Laytexsmith skills have not been used for years now.
+ For this, http://5000rem.com/ which a local madman runs and we are plotting characters for. The characters will be Terribly Nice Couple: James Mason and Julie Andrews with Waterboarding.

Bloody fruit fly geneticists.

Thank goodness the human version is SAMD4A so I don't end up snickering while reading the papers.

Also the UK Labour party leadership contest has got weird. There's actually a left-wing anti-war pro-immigration anti-poverty gent among the candidates who got through. I'm confused. He's like the Labour party's Owain Glydwyr - kinda old, but still hugely badass and principled.
These two are related because both gentlemen can be considered to be named "Jez".

Welcome to 2011.
Apr. 29th, 2015 04:54 pmToday I have been released once again upon E. coli cloning work. Or at least I made up some growth media for the first time in about five years. Once I have some glycerol I will once again be able to use DNA like lego.*
Luciferase is still my favourite DNA reporter assay. I want to use it for reporting all the things.
*If lego occasionally undid itself or decided it only wanted to stick to other bricks of the same colour or something. And if instead of using your hands to construct the lego it was necessary to direct a robot which only had a certain series of movements it could perform. But basically, circular lego.

I need to move to Cuba.
