The human equivalent of a Coldplay song
Right so I actually published this poem on a totally different blog once and some twat commented on it like “yeah man love Coldplay, you’ve really captured Chris Martin’s essence”, so just in case there’s any doubt I actually fucking hate Coldplay they’re the milk-flavoured ice cream of bands designed so that sweaty politicians who’ve never actually met a human have an inoffensive answer if anyone asks them about their favourite music.
Inextricable
From the ceiling fan and the yellow light,
Breath from the mouths of
Stressed, depressed and overdressed,
Slightly slighted students,
Part of me always belonged here,
From birth, I was destined to be buried under concrete
Off-white lights and the grey, secret-ing
Permeating walls
Plain white bathroom stalls,
This moment is a daydream at 5% power,
This moment is my future, if I didn't think too hard
Something is being pulled apart
Through my brain and out through my nose,
Did no one notice the continents on my lower back,
Knot Pangea but something freer,
I'm standing taller,
Divided but not suicided,
I am an email chain, 5 re's deep,
Underneath my fingernails and crawling around my scalp,
Bones, sinew, tissue, pulp,
I'm damn good at replicating,
Yeah, it's genetic,
That DNA is prophetic
I chose TCAG not SKAG
My alleles are for real,
Conceal-ing
Seething,
With every day, I get less angry,
One day, this office chair will be so comfy,
My arse will be sedentary,
Inflating,
Spooling,
Over my seat,
Shampoo, rinse, repeat,
Always repeat,
Secrete interactions,
Dripping personality,
Into a fresh, sparkling glass of conversation,
I don't want you to see me,
But I want to look at all your faces for as long as possible,
I'm selfish, but these days that isn't bad,
Dichotomies of light flicker and fade in the night,
Vibrancy outside the window
And in my mind, I'm pressed up against it,
If I could fade into nothing but a pair of eyes,
Dissolving, into a chair, into a crowded room,
Into the gloom of your beautiful, terrible minds,
Through the treacle around your lungs,
A walking endoscopy,
For every escapee
Of monotony
The spark behind your eyes,
The lumps in your throat not your heart,
A showreal of emotion to disguise
Everything we despise,
No, everything we revise,
I was made in my image,
Pillaging the ash,
For fragments of the past,
Patch- ing
Over solder
And iron deficiency
Superstitiously, Surreptitiously, deliciously,
Superfluous,
My hugs hid my face,
My smiles hide my teeth,
And we know, but we don't look underneath,
Our appeals for authenticity,
Hard fought and rarely free,
I could be the symbol of a tree,
But I don't know if I can provide oxygen,
Still, I'm all bark and no bite,
Feeling full-filled but filled with shite,
Wearing my halo,
As if it was a yellow ceiling light

Mapping the Epigenome.
CIRCOS is a circular visualization chart that allows the portraying of complex systems and the way they interact with one another.
The data used (group/track) for figure elements is as follows
(C) mapping and sequencing tracks / chromosome band (ideogram)
(A) variation and repeats / snps (v126). The histogram shows the number of SNPs per 1 Mb.
(F) variation and repeats / segmental duplication. A small subset of segmental duplications are drawn, filtered by locations on chromosomes 2, 3, 7, 9. The choice of locations was motivated by the need for a visually balanced set of links.
(B) variants in genome structure catalogued by the TCAG database.
(D) locations of genes implicated in disease. Gene-to-disease mappings were done using OMIM database.
Gene-to-chromosome location mappings were done using the following data tables from UCSC
-gene and gene prediction tracks / UCSC genes
-gene and gene prediction tracks / RefSeq genes (Credit: CIRCOS)

Throughout Canada's history, the industrious, humble beaver has gone from near-extinction at the height of the fur trade to becoming the official symbol of our nation.
Now, Canadian researchers are hoping that the furry rodent can also become a science hero by helping them better understand human disorders like autism.
In a Canadian first, scientists at The Centre for Applied Genomics (TCAG) at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children have sequenced the entire genome of the Canadian beaver. More specifically, they mapped out all the genes of 10-year-old Ward, a beaver who lives at the Toronto Zoo.
The beaver DNA project is expected to help advance research into human disorders and diseases such as autism and cancer, by allowing scientists to better understand genome sequencing done from scratch.
"The beaver genome was something that was begging to be studied," TCAG director Steve Scherer told CTV News.
It was also the perfect gift to Canada as the country approaches its 150th anniversary, he said.
