After some consideration, I finally have a name for this blog! Expression Patterns!
Actually, I came up with it a while ago, after a few minutes of intense brainstorming, and just waited to see if I really liked it.
”Expression Patterns”, as a play on “Gene Expression Patterns” but with the double meaning of “expression”. After all, this is a place to express myself, and I write a lot about science and art/culture (other people’s expressions)
I have three pages full of word associations, and only very few usable things came out. (Monkey, typewriter—you know the story)
My runner-up choice was “Neighbour Joining”, a method of creating phylogenetic trees, but I felt a blog wasn’t really about “joining neighbours”. I still think it’s a great name for a Bioinformatics forum or group, so feel free to use it if you have such a thing and are in need of a name.
I also have the obscure “Arty PCR” starred on my pages of babble. You know, like “RT PCR”. Too far fetched, that’s why I didn’t use it.
Finally I tried to find something using the word “domain” (protein domain, web domain) but didn’t get anywhere with that.
This one is a bit paradoxical:
Domain noname
