Next Wednesday's ceremony in Washington is bound to be an uplifting and even moving ceremony, but not all of the new president's hankerings for change are to be equally keenly awaited.

The year started with a bang for astronomers and cosmologists gathered at Phoenix, Arizona, last week, with the report of observations indicating that the Universe is made largely of exotic dark material.
Fundamental information that enhances our understanding of biospecific interactions can be obtained using a new analytical system based on biosensor technology. The functional characteristics of biospecific interaction, such as kinetics, affinity and binding position, are examined by label-free analysis of proteins in free solution binding to an immobilized ligand at a hydrophilic sensor surface.
Sequence analysis software, structure prediction programs, columns and media, and a range of products for glycobiology research — new products for a new year.
