===Suggestions===
Post suggestions for discussion papers or topics here.
This week we will be reading papers about the evolution of gene expression over development. These are two short and provocative papers in Nature ([http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v468/n7325/full/nature09634.html Kalinka et al], and [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v468/n7325/full/nature09632.html Domazet-Lošo, T. & Tautz]). I'm also posting the [http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v468/n7325/full/468768a.html news & views] to supplement the papers. (Discussion leader - Yaniv Brandvain)

Angus will be leading discussion this week. Paper found [http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2010/10/25/1009906107 here.]

(Things to talk about/think about/discuss)
Graham will be leading discussion on [http://www.sciencemag.org/content/331/6019/920.full this] human sweeps paper. We are also posting [http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pgen.1001302 this] simulans paper which we won't focus on this week, but might be up for discussion at a later date.

Grace will be leading [http://genome.cshlp.org/content/20/11/1526 this] paper.

=====1/28/11=====
 
This week's paper [http://genomebiology.com/2011/12/1/R4/abstract here]. Discussion leader will be Joel.
YB1:I'm generally impressed by the consistency of the developmental hourglass (dh) pattern across various categories (phenotypic, expression, age of genes, dN...).
=====1/21/11=====
 
Dave Plachetzki will be leading discussion on [http://genomebiology.com/2010/11/12/R125/abstract this] paper.
There are a few suggested evolutionary explanations for the dh, which do we like?
 
Although we like the dh now Darwin thought things where most similar when youngest. I think this is still viable. How much of the bottom of the hourglass is due t maternal effect genes? Is the thin part of the glass the maternal-zygotic transition?
 
Kalinka et al: The most hourglass like expression was in the genes controlling gene expression, suggesting that this is a top down sort of thing.
 
Loso & Tautz: I'm a bit skeptical of phylostratigraphy, but haven't heard much of it before... any thoughts or comments?
