First, I think I can make a statement for every member of this group that we have all been greatly affected by the news of the Indian Ocean tsunami. If you would like to make a donation to help those in need, please see:
International Committee of the Red Cross
If you or anyone you know has been affected by this tragedy and could benefit from shipments of clothing and/or other goods, please email me.
I would also like to wish everyone a happy new year and all the best in the coming year.
Additionally, some of you visiting in the past few weeks may have noticed some subtle and not so subtle changes to the website. By and large things are the same, but several changes have been made to better reflect the fact that the Galliformes Genetics Group is a technical group of the WPA (World Pheasant Association).
Finally, if you are currently working in the lab using molecular techniques on galliformes (or other species), please consider becoming a member of our bulletin board for discussion of lab-related problems/solutions/etc.
