More alert readers may have noticed that Wired Science ran not one but two posts on the recent opossum genome sequencing.
The blame for this lies squarely with me: I didn't see Steven's post last night, wrote mine this morning on the train ride back from Boston, and posted it without double-checking. But it's actually interesting to see how each of us took a totally different approach: Steven concentrated on genetics and human evolution, and I on developmental gimcracks and health research. If you missed them the first time, check 'em out now.
