Dartmouth Researchers Contribute to Daphnia Genome Discoveries

A paper whose co-authors include current Dartmouth researchers Chen (a PhD Biology graduate alum), Folt, and Thomas Hampton, bioinformatics specialist in the Dartmouth Medical School Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, is one of the papers highlighted in conjunction with the publication of “The Ecoresponsive Genome of Daphnia pulex” by CGB Director John Colbourne and his co-authors in Science. The Dartmouth co-authored paper is titled, “Gene Response Profiles for Daphnia pulex Exposed to the Environmental Stressor Cadmium Reveals Novel Crustacean Metallothioneins” and was originally published in BMC Genomics in 2007.

    The title of this article indicates that Dr. Chen authored a paper in the journal ‘Science’. A citation for the Science paper should be provided. If no such paper exists then this article needs a different title and the first paragraph should be rewritten.

    Here is a link to another Dartmouth Grad Forum article that misleads:

    It appears that there may be a need for additional editing at the Grad Forum.

    Lionel,

    Sorry for the confusion. Our article refers to the journal ‘Science,’ a periodical endorsed by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. We include a link to a more in-depth article recently published in ‘Dartmouth Now’–for more information on Dr. Chen’s research, please visit ‘Dartmouth Now.’

    Also, thank you for your feedback on the ‘New York Times’ article. You are correct, the link is now broken. However, when the article was published, the ‘New York Times’ allowed all viewers to read the article for free. Unfortunately, it appears that the ‘New York Times’ has cached the article to their electronic archives; the archives are accessible only to paying subscribers.

    Again, thank you for the feedback.
