  1. Two A's and one D... still, I uploaded my dev bio essays on scientific literature. http://tr.im/FCvJ http://tr.im/FCwu http://tr.im/FCvM
  2. Apicoplasts arose when cyanobacteria was engulfed by an ancestral algae, which in turn was engulfed by an apicomplexan. http://tr.im/FjpU
  3. There are 3 germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm & endoderm. Various factors control subdivision & differentiation of mesoderm. http://tr.im/EPJJ
  4. The various mechanisms by which embryonic cells move and contort to form the mature organism. http://tr.im/EPJA
  5. Very technical piece on trypanosomes' flagella, needed by the parasite to infect tens of millions & kill tens of thousands http://tr.im/Dfw5
  6. Want a genome sequence fast? Use Shotgun Sequencing, which is a rapid and powerful technique. Read the procedure at http://tr.im/Df3F
  7. A brief history of Leishmania species, which cause awful ulcerative lesions in their millions of victims. Poor volunteers! http://tr.im/Depa
  8. I did extensive figures for my discussion of how the Drosophila (fruit fly) embryo establishes its anterior-posterior axis http://tr.im/CGLg
  9. Three figures and a brief description of body plan determinants, factors that define the undifferentiated embryo. http://tr.im/CyXP
  10. http://tr.im/CqFF The division of an egg after fertilization is shaped by the yolk distribution. Tons of figures of different yolk distros!
  11. The egg must provide the female's genome in addition to nutrients for the embryo plus factors determining the body plan. http://tr.im/CgmV
  12. Sperm deliver the male's genetic info to the female's egg. This fertilizes the egg and creates a complete genome. http://tr.im/Cgk7
  13. A clear layout of gametogenesis, the formation of sperm (spermatogenesis) and ovum/eggs (oogenesis). Includes a figure! http://tr.im/CgdS
  14. Organisms used in dev biology and their pros/cons: drosophila (fruit fly); mice; chickens; zebrafish; and xenopus frogs. http://tr.im/BQY3
  15. The 1st step of my quest to visit every Spanish Mission in the USA! Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, dedicated 1798 http://tr.im/BPWS
  16. More interested in history? I wrote bits on Rhodesian Sleeping Sicnkess http://tr.im/BPuG and Gambian Sleeping Sickness http://tr.im/BNft
  17. African Sleeping Sickness causes death and dementia in humans and livestock. Learn about the parasite Trypanosoma brucei http://tr.im/BPuq
  18. Why is subsaharan Africa lush? Trypanosoma brucei brucei! It prevents grazing cattle from surviving. Its history/discovery http://tr.im/BNfs
  19. Quick bites: one-paragraph tidbits on how Trypanosoma evansi http://tr.im/BMwe and Trypanosoma sanguinis http://tr.im/BMw8 were discovered.
  20. A succinct compilation of Mesoamerican cultures of the Pre-Columbian Period. The start of my research into Latin America! http://tr.im/BA1e
