Okay, so this is a bit of a niche interest, but:
http://www.nature.com/nrc/journal/v2...inberg_poster/ http://lmcb.dyndns.org/fly-poster.pdf Probably completely meaningless unless you're up on your cell biology. The names of the stations are all proteins (or genes, depending on how you look at it; comes to much the same thing): the first map (which you might not be able to see if you're not in a subscribing IP range) is mostly human proteins, which have cryptic names like GSK-3, and the second is proteins from _Drosophila melanogaster_, where there is a tradition of giving them quite fanciful names (but still descriptive ones, based on what happens if the protein is knocked out: loss of Van gogh causes swirly patterns in the wing reminiscent of the eponymous painter's work, loss of Cheap date increases sensitivity to alcohol, etc). Anyway, they made me happy. tom -- REMOVE AND DESTROY |

Did you save it as a bitmap, or did you use a drawing programme that reflects all the imprecise mouse movements? -- Ivan Reid, Electronic & Computer Engineering, ___ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

I would guess that the latter explanation is the case, though. tom -- They entered the Vortex and the dreams became reality |
