This week's list just happens to have a bit of a theme: enhancers.

Artifacts in ChIP experiments? No way?!

A very nice paper. Makes me think of the superenhancers…

Enhancer mutations in pancreas agenesis

I find that one particular author (among 21 listed) stands out: International Pancreatic Agenesis Consortium.

Don't like your nose or jaw line? Blame it on craniofacial enhancers!

Now some serious entertainment...

Scientists going at each other MMA style #2: developmental biologists.

An extremely didactic pair of mini-articles from very good labs.

… and a few good-night reads, scary and creepy in the tradition of folk tales:

The questions is: how dedicated are YOU to your research?

How did the Little Red Riding Hood story come about?

Nope. It's an account of a failed domestication attempt.

    Weekly sciencey bits

    Disclaimer: This started as a "weekend reading list" meant to encourage students in the lab to think about science and their own future in it. Do not take it seriously: I myself may no longer agree with whatever I wrote here last week.
