Drawings in the special Evolution
issue of Aktuel Naturvidenskab
Some of the drawings that I contributed
for the evolution.dk site were also used
in a article in the danish science communication
magazine Aktuel
Naturvidenskab. Here is a link for the evolution
issue and for the article with the title "Darwins excitement"
(in danish).

Darwins birthday
I have contributed 16 illustrations about "evolution
myths" at new Danish educational site: Evolution.dk.
The general concept of this part of the site is to
provide answers for the major evolution myths.
The myth page can be found here.

BBA cover cartoon
In a special issue
about quality control mechanisms that
apply to different classes of RNAs in different organisms.
RNA molecules that fail to acquire the required quality
standards are somehow detected, sometimes confined, and
most often degraded in the nucleus or the cytoplasm before
their defective information content is exposed and potentially
alters the normal physiology of the cell.

PhD position available on prediction
of viral RNA structure
The PhD project aims at finding novel RNA structures in RNA viruses by means
of large-scale RNA structure prediction, which will be done by using existing
tools and by developing new tools for distributed calculations. The identified
RNA structures will be further characterized in the biochemistry lab and by biophysical
techniques like e.g. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) or Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering
(SAXS).

CDNA participates with two teams
in the DHL Relay Race
The DHL Relay Race takes place in Mindeparken.
CDNA had two teams participating and with nice
backup cheering from colleagues and the group
from Duke. Team 1 got on the 33rd place and the
second team on the 214th place of the 1706 teams
completing the relay race.

ACS nano issue released
The ACS nano journal issue was released today containing
the Dolphin

article and displays an image. Also there is a very interesting
conversation with the founder of structural DNA nanotechnology
Ned Seeman.

News at University of Aarhus
The news about the dolphin paper was posted in Danish and English at
the websites of the Faculty of Science and University of
Aarhus and as internal news at the Department of Molecular
Biology. The news features some nice comments from the
professors involved in the project and highlights the study
as an interdisciplinary study.

 Dolphins from the University of Aarhus
logo constructed in DNA
In a new article in the ACS NANO journal
iNANO researchers describe the design of DNA-dolphins from
the University of Aarhus logo. The novel DNA structures
are characterized by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and
shown to have flexible tails. The study involves the development
of new software to design DNA-nanostructures of any shape
and is expected to advance the field of DNA nanotechnology.
1/6-2008:
 New DNA origami software release
The
SARSE - DNA origami package version 1.0 was released on the
CDNA website ( see intro page).
The package makes it really easy to design complex DNA nanostructures.
The package has a nice tutorial that goes through the steps
involved in creating the logo of the University of Aarhus
in DNA ( see
tutorial).
