Hello everyone,

Next week we will start our weekly journal club again. The new day and time for journal club will be Friday at 12:30. We will meet in YH2050 (instead of Bill's office) and since it is around lunch time you can eat your lunch during journal club if you want. The first paper we will discuss is a paper that Ajay suggested and that talks about viruses of viruses: "The virophage as a unique parasite of the giant mimivirus" by B. La Scola et al. The paper can be found at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature07218 (notice that this is advance online publication, I don't think the paper can be found in any of the Nature issues yet). (The host mimivirus was discovered in 2003: http://dx.doi.org/10.1126/science.1081867).

See you next Friday at journal club,

Peter
