IPMB Science Features
Focusing on blogging personality, driven life and perspectives |
| IPMB science features are a platform that allow our colleagues and readers to post their thoughts on recent developments and ideas in their corner of their sciences. As a new site feature, these will grow and develop into living, breathing areas for the exchange of links, thoughts, and information. As time goes on, we'll be adding new features, blogs, and authors/bloggers, so come back often to find out what our bloggers are up to! |

The map-based sequence of the rice genome - and the subsequent functional genomics analysis by Yue-ie Hsing (4-8-2007)
 Better understanding of the rice genome will facilitate rice research, which in turn speeds up rice biotechnology. As the first step in a systematic and complete functional characterization of the rice genome, the International Rice Genome Sequencing Project (IRGSP) has generated and analyzed a highly accurate finished sequence of the rice genome that is anchored to the genetic map. Taiwan joined this consortium, cooperating with another 9 countries, to decode the rice genome...

Eulogy (Shang-Fa Yang, 1932-2007) by Bryant Yang (2-23-2007)
Accomplished and modest are two traits that are not often seen together. A colleague of my father wrote "Although he was brilliant plant biologist, Shang Fa was modest and unassuming colleague." And one of my chemistry mentors wrote to me and said "I was so touched that your father was so kind to me and down-to earth despite his professional stature and accomplishments." The similarly of the tributes underscores the consistency and authenticity with which my father lives his life.¡@» read more |
