An excellent overview of how apparently similar experimental procedures may lead to different outcomes:

In a way, irreproducibility is not a bad thing when it points to technical limitations.
Grandma’s eating habits affect grandchildren in the nematode.

And of course similar things happen in humans - see my July 12 post for a reference.
A massive complex trait genetics study:

Trying to wrap my head around what to do with 100+ contributing loci makes me feel a little schizophrenic...
Targeted nucleases for wheat knockouts:
http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nbt.2969.html
Should wheat with nuclease-induced deletions be considered a GMO?
A big argument about a gene name:
http://dev.biologists.org/content/141/15/2921.full
Because name matters.
A fun, inspiring and (most importantly :-) easy weekend read:

Got excited about a career in science? Perhaps you should chill out:
