Genomics Journal Club

Genomics Journal Club

> How to choose your paper: We'd like to restrain a little the scope of the journal club, because it can very easily drift. Thus, we'd prefer if you present papers linked to Genomics, molecular biology or evolutionary biology. However, if you'd like to present a paper that you find particularly interesting but do not fall directly into these categories, do not hesitate. Papers describing interesting and novel finding are of course very interesting to present. However, I'd like to encourage you also to present papers that you find 'dodgy'. It is always interesting to stimulate a debate around a bad piece of Science.

> How to proceed: Papers have to be sent to me (laurent.frantz@wur.nl) at least 1 WEEK in advance so I can make sure that it has not been presented before. I will take care of sending the paper around, also a week before the meeting so that the attendees have time to read it.

> How to prepare your talk: Usually, it is easy, simply use the figures from the paper, highlighting methods, results and conclusions.

For those of you that use Mendeley reference manager, I have created a group to share the papers discussed in the meeting. You can find the group at - http://www.mendeley.com/groups/2729461/abgc-genomic-journal-club/ - Please join, I will dump all the paper there too so you can always find them back.
