I’m pleased to say that my latest science piece is now available on Eclectica. It’s about lateral (or horizontal) gene transfer. I hope you will all read it.
Even better (actually much better) than my piece are the entries in The Wild Side, Olivia Judson’s short-lived New York Times blog. If you have access to TimesSelect (it’s not free), go read it. Better yet, go read it first.

By “complex single-celled organisms”, did you mean single-celled eukaryotes?

Yeah. I didn’t want to have to introduce the word, though.
