Drawings from DNA
There are four nucleotides in DNA: adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T).
There are also four basic directions a line can go on a piece of paper: up, down, left, or right.
The pictures below are representations of DNA, where each of the four nucleotides makes the line go a step in one of the four directions.

Red line: A makes the line go up, C down, G left, and T right.
Blue line: A makes the line go up, C left, G right, and T down.
Green line: A makes the line go up, C left, G down, and T right.

Food species whose genomes have been sequenced
If you like to know what you eat, this is for you:
A list of plant, animal and bacterial species that can be eaten and whose genomes have been sequenced or are about to be sequenced.
Recipes using only those species as ingredients would be very welcome!

Fighting the bacterial communication war
This essay is about the importance of research into quorum sensing.
It won a prize in the Wellcome Trust and New Scientist Essay Competition 2007.

RNAs from aaRNA to zygRNA
RNA abreviations are all the rage: tRNA, rRNA, siRNA.
Want to jump on the bandwagon but feel confused or intimidated?
Or just appreciate a good list?
Then this is for you.
The file is also available as a tab-delimited text document here.
