Today’s themes: the music of the genome, and vesicular traffic…

And starting FRIDAY, don’t forget: daily cartoon updates with the Chromosomal Christmas Calendar!

1. There are musical masterpieces encoded in the genome – if you know how to read the notation system!

For those who can’t read the music – read the sequence aloud, and quickly…

2. Endocytic? Exocytic! I’m so confused…

 

…and if you didn’t, you’re beyond caring anymore…

1. In fond memory of Fotis C. Kafatos, my former boss – an extraordinary human being, a scientist who dreamed of being a poet, a great mentor and friend, who died on Nov. 17. Fotis was a pioneer in studies of the mosquito immune system and efforts to combat malaria through resistant strains of Anopheles. And he had a beautiful laugh.

2.  “The score was tied between the GRAM-NEGATIVES and GRAM-POSITIVES in the finals of the BEACH VIRALBALL TOURNAMENT… when DISASTER STRUCK!”

3.

Today’s themes: A chromosomal Christmas calendar,
neurons sing James Brown,
and fine dining for macrophages!
