It's rare you get two posts on one day from me, but...
Again on the Twits. Someone suggested they could self-publish using something like WordPress. I have a one word argument for why that's not a good idea:
For those who don't know, this is the online journal that has just published the "sasquatch" genome paper.
The journal is owned by... the authors of that paper.
Oh man, we should totally start sending papers there. Fiji Mermaid genome? Phylogeny of Phoenixes? Fecal analysis of Chupacabra droppings? I'm on it!
I'm curious to see the sasquatch paper, I bet it's impossible to purchase.
I think Carl Zimmer might have got a copy...
It's $30.
We should run BLAST searches on the published sequences.
