    Posting a manuscript on is a good outcome from a 4 year PhD. I hope that initiatives such as will also speed up Peer Review.

    It takes longer and longer to publish papers (sad but that’s a fact), so how much time should a PhD last?

    A fitting tribute to Denise Barlow, and her influence on genomic imprinting. Thank you to all contributors.

    The newly launched Collection, 'Genomic Imprinting and Epigenetic Regulation', collates articles in the areas of genetic imprinting, epigenetics, and development as a tribute to Denise Barlow's life and work.

    You were closer than me Sally. I recall thinking that there were going to be approx 100,000 human genes. Would be interesting to do the same for enhancers in the human genome...50,000, 500,000, 1 million?

    My estimate in 2000 of the number of human genes - only a little bit out (OK x3!) as seen on
