mkdennis	Hi all, We're looking for a Biology Lab Coordinator and would be thrilled to find someone with SEA-PHAGES connections/experience! This is a new position which will support labs throughout the department and includes the opportunity to teach one lab section per year in addition to other duties. We are absolutely willing to hire with a BS, even though the ad states preference for MS/PhD, and this could be a great opportunity for a former student or recent grad. Please pass on to former students, etc. Job posting with full details can be found here: Marist Biology Lab Coordinator Thanks!

mkdennis	debbie Hi Megan, I agree that Ciao sequence in the first 4-8 amino acids is unlike others in the pham. However, the gene does stop at 42523. So the only start to call is 42699. I think that starterator shows the data well. in addition, check the GeneMark using smeg and tb as the target. You will see that the best coding potential is in the frame identified. Make sense? debbie Hi Debbie, Yes, this makes sense - thanks! I was thinking about this in a chicken-or-egg way. Does a strong RBS which we "know" was previously used as a start site override coding potential, even though the frameshift has separated it from most of the coding potential, or is the coding potential enough for the ribosome to use a different/less favorable RBS (and how does the ribosome "know" where the coding potential is? philosophical questions of gene expression ). From your reply it sounds like we should favor the latter, which makes sense.

mkdennis	Hi Debbie & all, I'm looking at the start for the reverse gene w/ a stop at 42523 in Ciao and came across something interesting. Pippin_68 and Ciao_66 are virtually identical AA sequences, except for the first 4-8 AA's, and the frameshift mutation that occurred in Ciao to generate this is making me question which frame the "real" start codon is actually in. It made more sense with pictures and formatting that's hard to achieve in a forum post, so PDF is attached, including my question about which of two possible starts to call. Thanks! 282Kb
