Posted on June 25, 2008 by Lisa A. Shiel

      Genetic analysis has become a staple of evolutionary research. Determinations of evolutionary relationships between species often rely on molecular clocks, or the idea that we can backtrack genetic mutations to their time of origin like counting days backward on a calendar.

    • Disease Genetics: A Bankrupt Idea? November 23, 2009
      Last week DeCode Genetics, one of the top companies hunting for genetic keys to diseases, filed for bankruptcy. Despite years of studying Icelandic populations the company had failed to find any common genes for diseases such as cancer.

      There will be no township-sanctioned “Ghostbusters” probe at the old Crouch Cemetery later this month.

    • Cougars Confirmed in Upper Michigan November 4, 2009
      I’ve seen one a few hundred feet from my house here on the Keweenaw Peninsula. I’ve talked to others who’ve seen them too, in various spots around the Upper Peninsula.  Now the DNR has confirmed there are cougars in the UP, thanks to a game camera photos and some tracks.
