   Genome Research is publishing papers related to comparative analyses of 12 Drosophila (fly) genomes. The 12 fly genome project allows analyses of closely related species for a more complete and correct annotation of functional genes and regulatory elements in Drosophila melanogaster, a major model organism in genetics. These papers will appear online on Nov. 7, concurrent with the publication of two main papers on the comparative sequence analyses of twelve fly genomes in the journal Nature.

    04-25-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Just because someone decides not to participate in a research project doesn't necessarily mean that they fundamentally object to taking part, a study published online in BMC Health Services Research suggests. Misunderstandings about the nature and process of a study often contribute to expressions of nonconsent, a factor that should be incorporated in the design of future studies.
