Welcome to The Seven Stones

Via Pedro Beltrao, I'd like to welcome a newcomer to the blogosphere: officially launching today is The Seven Stones, the blog of the journal Molecular Systems Biology. From The Seven Stones' "about" page:

The Seven Stones is the blog of Molecular Systems Biology, the open-access journal published by the Nature Publishing Group and EMBO, which covers all aspects of the rapidly growing and interdisciplinary field of systems biology at the molecular level. Why a blog? A forum for open discussions with a dynamic content is a natural extension of Molecular Systems Biology open-access philosophy and we would very much like to see this blog develop into a vibrant exchange platform for all scientists interested in the fields of Systems and Synthetic Biology. The topics that will be discussed will include all aspects of Systems and Synthetic Biology, including technical matters, general scientific issues and societal aspects. To help retrieve entries but also to provocatively probe the extent of the field of Systems Biology, we will classify all blog posts using a set of nested subject categories (visible on the left navigation bar), somewhat reminiscent of a 'pocket' ontology for research fields in Systems Biology. The blog will be seeded by the Editors of the journal, but posts from our readers are more than welcome. Please send us your posts.

Initial posts on The Seven Stones include George Church on the lack of protocols in cell and molecular biology; and Thomas Lemberger on "A visual wiki for biological notation?" ; and VelociMouse unleashed.

Please keep your comment brief. Excessively long or offensively phrased entries will be edited. Remember this blog is for feedback and discussion of matters concerning scientific authorship or peer-review - not for drawing attention to your research.

If you want to know if a NPG journal would be interested in your research, you will need to contact the journal's editorial office, which can be done via the authors & referees website.

We strongly encourage you to use your real, full name. E-mail addresses are required in case we need to discuss your comment with you directly. We won't publish your e-mail address unless you request it.
