  <description><![CDATA[
<p>We are generally interested in the mechanisms of species origin from a molecular and ecological perspective. Particularly, we are interested in the role of sex chromosomes in speciation. Most of our research is done on birds and mammals. Currently, we focus our research on two hybridizing song birds, the Common nightingale (Luscinia megarhynchos) and the Thrush Nightingale (L. luscinia). Combining population genomic and ecological approaches we try to elucidate the genetic architecture of reproductive isolation and understand the role of interspecific competition and song convergence in the evolution of reproductive isolation between the species. </p>

	<description><![CDATA[<p>1. A futuristic computational biology student was told to write "It is in my gene!!!" on the board 100 times as a punishment. here's his response -<br /><br />use warnings;<br />for ($count=1; $count &lt;=100; $count++) { print "It is in my gene!!!";}<br /><br />I guess, he is gonna to be a real biogeek. Nice try though. Smart kid.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>2. In some perl script I found this <br />&nbsp;. . . . . .<br />&nbsp;. . . . . .<br /># It works for me, only God understood how it is working<br />while (/(&lt;\/[^&gt;]+&gt;)|(&lt;[^&gt;]+&gt;)|(&lt;[^&gt;]+&gt;)$|([^&gt;&lt;]+)/go) {<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $startGene=$1;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $beginChromosome=$2;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;<br />. . . . . .<br />&nbsp;.. . . . . .<br />}</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>3. One more interesting message in Perl found &hellip;. It will must tickle you bone :) <br />open(my $fh, "&lt;", "gene.txt")&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;or kill " Me if you think this is a mistake :$!";<br /><br /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>4. From the Perl <br /><br />&nbsp; while () {&nbsp; # "The Mothership Connection is here!"<br />&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;print &ldquo;$_\n&rdquo;; # Printing the offspring :)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>5. Perl message<br />if ($1) { print &ldquo;Just found a the error in chromosome !!!, yahoo&hellip;&rdquo;; else { &ldquo;That is not error, but mutation you moron!&rdquo;;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>6. One genome database curator walk in wine bar asked the bartender:<br />CREATE TABLE gene IF NOT EXISTS SexOnTheBeach;</p>]]></description>

The pipeline runs&hellip;<br />Till RAM collapses and error stuns.<br />Oh, and the metadata?
