The 61st issue of Tangled Bank, a carnival of science blogs, is hosted at Epigenetic News.

I see a number of submitted entries which I think would also be of interest to Biotech Weblog readers:

• telomere length as a biomarker for aging


• genome of a marine bacteria that can degrade petroleum which can be useful in cleaning oil spills


• a bacteriophage spray that can help kill bacteria that contaminates processed lunch meat


• a genetically engineered tomato that could help reduce risk of contracting heart disease


• "last possible 'rational' reason for opposing stem cell research has been removed", discussing a news report also mentioned here in the Biotech Weblog


• a new map of nuclear receptors and its potential for aiding research in circadian regulation of body functions

Enjoy reading!
