... this is a laboratory.

VRE-MHL-α is a Virtual Research Environment based on the concept of open research space. The future of science is open and here we deliberatly explore the opening of the research process and how this applies to our community. We are still in the alpha phase.

Here are the major websites for Molecular Pathway and gene ontology. These web sites are very crucial to identify the functions of the transcripts and their involvement in the cell molecular pathways.

It seems like mhl buddies made a great job during GSR days last week. A nice harvest of awards and I feel proud. Congratulations! Keep it up!

In 2003, I was giving a communication entitled "paradox of mollusc hatcheries" during the 5th edition of Diseases in Asian Aquaculture, held in Brisbane, Australia. The driving idea of the address was that hatcheries have a serious potential for increased transfers of live animals and consequently increased transboundary movements of pathogens. On the same token, hatcheries offer tremendous opportunities for better control of health status of seeds and broodstock alike. That was the paradox I was trying to illustrate in 2003...

It was rather late this morning - I confess - when I logged in and it
was already quite busy on MHL boulevards. I was really glad seeing
member names queuing up on the screen and certainly happy imagining
them cruising the brand new pages with ups of eyebrows and shaky heads.

Thanks again to Peter and Dave for the great job.

All of this reminded me a great scene of the Cars movie by Disney/Pixar; when Lightning McQueen is done with the new tar in town and... well... just listen to the music.
