It is quite amusing how educational and research institutions try to immediately flaunt their affiliations with the Nobel Laureates. Bruce A. Beutler is a particularly intriguing case. The University of Chicago chalks this up as laureate number 86 as he attended medical school there. The Scripps Research Institute where he was a professor until recently is hailing him as their own. This is despite that as of Septermber 1, 2011, Prof. Beutler is now Director of the Center for the Genetics of Host Defense at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where he was a medical resident and a professor from 1986 to 2000 (and began his nobel laureate work).
Nonetheless, congratulations to Dr. Bruce A. Beutler on his award, and all the institutions which fostered his career. Best wishes to him as he joins a growing cadre of formidable researchers in Texas (yes, the same Texas as GH Bush, GW Bush, and presidential candidate Rick Perry).
Not exactly a dupe when a University of California post doctoral fellow is a co-author on the paper.
The authors are Eshel Ben-Jacob and Daniel Schultz. Daniel Schultz was formerly a postdoc at the University of California. See my comment "Original Article" below for the reference and links. The original article is a commentary on another paper which Jose Onuchic was the editor for. Jose Onuchic is the author of the other work that you cite.
