Hi readers and DNA Network. Thank you for your continued readership and community.

Here at Think Gene, we’ve been busy writing new software and raising funds for a bio-related software startup. To keep the site populated with content, we’ve written a few tools to help us find, format, and publish what we think are the most interesting bio and genomic news items of the day.

However, our tools were just a bit TOO good, and we’ve been publishing a bit more news than what is reasonable as a member of the DNA network.

To address this issue, here is our new publishing policy:

1. We will continue to publish the top ten to fifteen bio news items of the day with formatting and images. However, we will move this news off the front page to a “releases” section. Further, “releases” will not appear in the main Think Gene feed to which the DNA Network subscribes. Instead, we will add an additional feed just for formatted news releases called “Think Gene News.”
2. We will publish one to four of the most interesting bio news items of the day with a short paragraph of explanation or reaction. We may also paraphrase or rewrite the news item for a less technical or more casual audience. This was the original goal of Think Gene, and we’d like to refocus back to this.
3. In addition, opinion pieces will be published as we’re so inspired.

Thank you for your patience while we update our tools and software to meet the new Think Gene publishing policy. We hope to have a few more exciting Think Gene announcements in the near future!

As always, please do not hesitate to leave us feedback in the comments or by our email.
