Where I lazily recycle news from OpenHelix
Geoff Bilder over at CrossRef has announced that their citation plugin for MT and WordPress is now available for download.
CrossRef is the shadowy cabal that runs the DOI system for journals. Shadowy because despite the fact that DOIs underpin academic publishing who outside of publishing tech circles has ever heard of them? Anyway, they've been doing a lot of cool science 2.0 stuff recently, probably because of Geoff, for whom I have a lot of respect. He does need to update his blog more often, though. ;)

Also at OpenHelix is a writeup of Gene Characterization Index: Assessing the Depth of Gene Annotation, published in PLoS One at the end of last year. It's a nice project.
One (very) minor niggle: the whole genome dataset they provide looks like this:
WTF kind of gene ID?
It is blatantly obvious once you've read the actual paper (they're from Entrez), of course, but still. Dudes, some better column names or /* descriptive comments */ wouldn't go amiss.
