that's great news. I remember you asking for interview tips (if atherosclerosis haven't destroyed my memory yet). Good luck with everything. - Paulo Nuin
thanks. in team 81 (if I pass the probation that is) - Jason Tsai

how conserved are the recombination hot spots with the ones in S. cerevisiae ? From that slide they look to be generally conserved. - Pedro Beltrao
very conserved! :) 7 out of 10 hotspots in cerevisiae are found in paradoxus. And this contradicts to theories that hotspots are not really conserved between species. - Jason Tsai
interesting ... I think there was a paper mapping double strand breaks in S. pombe (I think in PLoS Genetics but I am not sure). Since they are supposed to be somewhat correlate with the recombination hotspots maybe it would be interesting to see how conserved those are. - Pedro Beltrao
ah~ last thing I want is a good comment with lots of things already going on :P probably difficult because the synteny of S. pome and S. paradoxus are not that conserved. - Jason Tsai

Best alignments? I've never seen one ;) - Pawel Szczesny
With so much problem on producing a "best" tree.... and this :P - Jason Tsai
There are good alignments, but not many very good/excellent alignments. There are no real alignments. - Paulo Nuin

“I finally came up with the idea of my PhD final chapter! I woud like to see if there is a difference in pop gen parameters inferred from different sequencing technologies (PCR, Solexa, 454)...”
Yeah, there is a lot of comments/rumours about different type of next generation technologies. Too bad most of them are published in big named journals (so lack of methods..) It would be nice to confirm that - Jason Tsai
Thanks. I have only seen some of these. These papers however, only point to what the technologies may be biased towards, but to my knowledge, there is not yet an empirical comparison of these data. It's easy to do, just need the right data somewhere. - Jason Tsai
I'll keep a look out for your poster, I'll come and say hello. - Michael Barton
