More Haemophilus and Mycoplasma genes

Article Abstract:

The methods used to sequence genomes tend to be biased. They do not adequately take into account the importance of additional RNA species that contribute to a cell's functioning. A few small stable RNA species were not initially detected in the Mycoplasma genitalium and Haemophilus influenzae genomes.

Delta-interacting protein A and the origin of Hepatitis delta antigen

Article Abstract:

A paper reporting the interaction of delta-interacting protein A (DIPA) and Hepatitis delta antigen (HDAg) is criticized for not supporting the conclusion that DIPA is the cellular homolog of HDAg. A reply is included.

Estimating the age of the common ancestor of men from the ZFY intron

Article Abstract:

A formula for estimating the age of the most recent common ancestor of human males is explained. It yields an estimate of 173,000 years, which is about half that yielded from a less rigorous estimation method.
