Top billing for platypus at end of evolution tree
2008-05-31 11:40:00 Top billing for platypus at end of evolution tree Monotreme?s genome shares features with mammals, birds and reptiles - Nature reports A draft sequence of the platypus genome reveals reptilian and mammalian elements and provides more evidence for its place in the ancestral line of animal evolution. The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is endemic to Australia and one of nature?s oddest creatures, seemingly assembled from the spare parts of other animals. The semi-aquatic monotreme is a venomous, duck-billed mammal that lays eggs, nurses it?s young and occupies a lonely twig at the end of a sparse branch of the vertebrate evolutionary tree. Now, the structure of its genome has revealed new clues to how mammals evolved. ?The analysis is beginning to align these strange features with genetic innovation,? says Wesley Warren of Washington University in St Louis, Miss...

2008-05-09 15:39:00 From Scientific American: The platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus) is an odd-looking creature whose features combine the furry torso and wide, flat tail of a beaver with the rubbery bill and webbed feet of a duck. But its looks are not all that is strange about it. A new study in
Platypus mystery solved
2008-05-08 12:40:00 The world's first platypus twin puggles born in captivity are shown at Taronga Zoo in Sydney in 2003. The task of laying bare the platypus genome of 2.2 billion base pairs spread across 18,500 genes has taken several years, but will do far more than satisfy the curiosity of just biologists, say the researchers.Arguably the oddest beast in Nature's menagerie, the platypus looks as if were assembled from spare parts left over after the animal kingdom was otherwise complete.Now scientists know why. According to a study released Wednesday, the egg-laying critter is a genetic potpourri -- part bird, part reptile and part lactating mammal.The task of laying bare the platypus genome of 2.2 billion base pairs spread across 18,500 genes has taken several years, but will do far more than satisfy the curiosity of just biologists, say the researchers."The platypus genome is extremely important, because it is the missing link in our understanding of how we and other mammals first evolved," exp...

Platypus
2008-02-05 12:18:00 The shy Platypus is found only in eastern Australia, where they live on the edges of rivers and freshwater lakes where burrows can be dug. The best streams are ones where the banks are strong enough for building their deep burrows, and often these banks overhang the river. During the day, a Platypus often rests in this burrow, but it may spend some hours near the entrance to the burrow, basking in the sun and grooming its dense fur. But Platypuses (or platypi) are most active for several hours after dusk and before dawn.

Ein Lebenszeichen -- GDrive aka Platypus
2007-11-27 11:37:00 Für Google's (sagenumwobene) Online-Storage GDrive, auch bekannt als Platypus, scheint das Release-Licht der Welt näher zu rücken.Laut einem Bericht im Wall Street Journal von heute verdichten sich die Anzeichen, dass der Service 'as early as a few months from now' starten könnte.Der Artikel enthält sonst keine grossen News, nur dass wie bereits vermutet die Einbindung in bestehende Services wie Google Docs Bestandteil sein soll.Google hat im Umfeld der Online-Storage momentan deutlich das Nachsehen gegenüber Microsoft, AOL und Apple. Meiner Meinung nach ist GDrive ein essentieller Baustein in Sachen Harmonisierung der Google Services. Schon im Vergangenen März hatte ich mir über die Zusammenführung von Blogger und Picasa meine Gedanken gemacht.

GDrive: The Platypus Awakes; Maybe
2007-11-27 09:18:00 Google’s long rumored but never delivered online storage product GDrive (code name Platypus) may finally be on its way, according to the Wall Street Journal. The continued no-show of the fabled Google online storage product was best parodied in an internal Google video that leaked in August, where a Google employee wrote of the service “I’ve been ready to launch my product since 2002 … At least round here 5 years ain’t so long overdue.” Our coverage stretches back to May 2006 with references to “Google Drive,†“a place for users to store 100% of their data online” in a company presentation and in October 2006 there was a confirmed GDrive client being used by Google employees. There isn’t a lot new in the Wall Street Journal report that hasn’t been said of the service previously, with the exception of product related tie-ins to existing (but relatively new) Google services such as Google Docs, and also mention of access via mobile p...
