It appears that the year 2008 is closing on a good note - in the last 6 days three important articles from PLoS ONE were evaluated by the F1000 Biology faculty. These articles were graded as significantly novel reports (see below).

If I were you: perceptual illusion of body swapping. Petkova VI, Ehrsson HH PLoS ONE 2008 3(12):e3832

The zinc transporter SLC39A13/ZIP13 is required for connective tissue development; its involvement in BMP/TGF-beta signaling pathways. Fukada T, Civic N, …, Superti-Furga A, Hirano T PLoS ONE 2008 3(11):e3642
Evaluated by Bruce Pitt on December 18, 2008

All PLoS ONE content is freely available on the web and readers could themselves rate and evaluate the articles. However, those evaluated on F1000 are certainly the crème de la crème kind of material; at any given time about 4% of the PLoS ONE articles are evaluated at the F1000.
