We are witnessing the birth of a new era in biology. The ability to decipher the genetic code of living organisms is dramatically changing our understanding of the natural world and promises to substantially improve the quality of human life.
The new bioinformatics and systems biology site went live earlier this year. I especailly like the student publiations page because it pulls together many of the new papers from graduate students who are in different departments but are all working in the ares of bioinformatics.
