On-line Genome Browser
Skiron writes "I stumbled on this quite excellent project after reading an article on the BBC news site (who, for some reason never include a link and leave the reader to go ogle for it. 'The Ensembl Genome Browser - Ensembl is a joint project between EMBL - EBI and the Sanger Institute to develop a software system which produces and maintains automatic annotation on metazoan genomes. Ensembl is primarily funded by the Wellcome Trust.' A sort of DNA Wiki!"
oh yeah FP!
"to go ogle for it"
Sheesh, evil *and* a jerk. -- Jade
I wonder what other sites are considered "news" because the geeks who read the queue don't happen to know anything about the field that the site supports.
How we know is more important than what we know.
Where is my On-line Kenome Browser, you nimrodic oaf????
I would expect that being how Reeve was THE superman and considering politics, the election and stem cell research, we'll be seeing an article about Reeve on Slashdot some time today? Right? I'm sure if he was some random dufus that invnted the Forgotten Realms RPG, we'd have an article up already about him.
RIP, my friend. May you continue to fly elsewhere. *sigh*
One thing that makes this stand out, aside from all those mb's of paintless data (to my eyes!) on the screen, is that they have done a suprisingly good job at usability.

I was away in seconds, without even knowing what the hell I was doing I was finding out all sorts of unuseful things!
Usually I would expect such a scintific based project to have a page like this:
Hello and welcome:

Of course, this brings to mind, is this data available in some open format we can all d/l and run scripts on to try and find a buffer overflow in the human genome (that sounded worryingly plausible since many tools are being used now to find such cases in binay and source code).
Hack the humans!

Am I the only one who read On-Line Gnome Browser?
My first thought: What the hell? Can you browse through your Gnomedesktop online?
Then, even more stupid, I thought of a browser in a browser, don't ask me why.
Mahhh, it's just to early in the morning and caffeine hasn't arrived yet.
The submitter wouldn't need to 'ogle' for links if they paid attention to the BBC Article (which I had to google for since the article mised out the link).
It clearly says "use web tools such as the Ensembl Genome Browser at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, UK, to mine the data." and on the right, under the heading "Related internet links" there is a link to the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute who run the Ensembl Genome browser, as well as 3 other relevant links.
What the BBC site does not do is put inline links to other non BBC sites, they are always on the right, with a little disclaimer that " The BBC is not responsible for the content of external internet sites".

GNAA declares victory over Wikipedia
Zeikfried - Associated Press, Nigeria
In a week which shall be recorded in Wikipedia infamy (and then vandalized and redirected to clitoris), the oft persecuted and never defeated internet missionaries of the Gay Nigger Association of America struck yet another powerful and telling blow against the powerful forces of bigotry and racism. Most notably, the growing zionist community on renowned internet pissing yard wikipedia.org.
And the records have indeed tumbled, with an unheard of third successful survival from the digital shitheap that is "Votes For Deletion". Coming in spite a heinous act of self promotion and cyber terrorism by Pat Gunn/Improv (formerly known as Aharon Meshenstein prior to his infiltration of the United States), who listed and inspired mob vandalism upon the GNAA's entry.
Fresh from his promotion of Wikipedia's $50,000 fundraiser for arms and supplies to the Jewish state of Israel, Improv launched a series of unprovoked and slanderous attacks against the well loved organisations leadership, all the while using foul and unholy necromancies to enlist the dead themselves to vote the entries deletion. Names such as "Wolfman" and "Demonslave" only adding to the damning list of evidence linking Mr Gunn to the occult.
Though Improv's actions gained him a small majority, a shock last minute intervention from Pope John Paul II spared the pages untimely fate, although as yet unconfirmed reports have indicated that several hundred 8-year old negro children were driven to the Basilica to secure the pontiffs support. Others point towards the black curse cast upon the deletion campaign by the support of infamous Brawl Hall mouthpiece "Yoyo" as the main driving force behind the salvation of the aforementioned entry.
But the details are likely to cause few sleepless nights among the group, only one of whom was willing to speak to the press. Namely GNAA Wikipedia contributor Popeye, who interrupted his drawing of pornography to give a brief dismissal the controversy: "Even with Improv's shady dealings, the sheer size and girth of a swollen GNAA phallus enables it both an identity and a vote of it's own. Making such discussion moot".

As the story is mine, the 'go ogle' reference is intentional - I have always thought that there was something simple to the name google than the explained theories.
For an open source site, Y=you really should have references UCSC's annotated genome browser and tools and the genome browser. Incredible array of annotations, and completely in the public domain.

I mean, we have G, A and T as nucleotides ... O can be considered a "wildcard", now we just need S and E.
