Dear All

There is an exciting new database on the internet-

BioNumbers - the database of useful biological numbers
http://bionumbers.hms.harvard.edu/
Below is a short introduction.

BioNumbers (bioNumbers.org) enables you to find in one minute any common
biological number that can be important for your research, such as the
rate of translation of the ribosome or the number of bacteria in your
gut. You will find full reference, comments and related numbers that
are useful.

A review can be found at http://openwetware.org/wiki/BioNumbers

Some interesting bionumbers:

Tables describing Developmental stages including approximate age and
size in Human, Pig, Rat, Fish, chicken, frog (to find these simply
enter in the 'find terms' box 102123, 102199, 102197, 102201, 102200,
102124 respectively).

Mutation rate per genome per replication, Human Homo sapiens, 0.16
mutation/genome/replication (100417)

Mutation rate per base pair per replication, Human Homo sapiens,
5E-11, mutation/bp/replication (100414)

Mutation rate per base pair per replication, Bacteriophage M13,
7.2E-07, mutation/bp/replication (100226)

y es lo eterno quien alimenta esta alianza
¿existimos antes o existiremos?
la certidumbre se esconde en el ambarino estado
de unos ojos que contemplan desde la confianza de lo compartido
esa vez, cada vez
entre nosotros.
