Making up for last week’s April fool post

Last week I posted my Homology Weekly as an April’s fool joke attempt. Since I am sure I was the only one to found it somewhat funny (and looking back, barely so), I decided to make for it this week and post something really interesting for my readers and especially eye-candy for my myrmecologist colleagues. It will be ready to go tonight, provided I have some time to work after supper, but no later than tomorrow.

In my defense I have to say that nothing I wrote in that post about DNA sequences was false. It was meant as a parody/criticism of the level of reductionism that results from our practice of treating each single nucleotide position as a character for phylogenetic reconstruction equivalent to a complex morphological structure.
