Megan

Megan (also spelled Meghan, Meagen, Meagan, Meaghan etc.) is a Welsh female name, originally a pet form of Meg or Meggie, which is itself a short form of Margaret. Megan is one of the most popular Welsh names in England and Wales, commonly truncated to Meg. Nowadays it is generally used as an independent name rather than as a nickname.

Megan was one of the most popular girls' names in the English-speaking world in the 1990s, peaking in 1990 in the United States and 1999 in the United Kingdom. Approximately 54 percent of people named Megan born in the US were born in 1990 or later.

Notable Megans include:

  • Megan Danso (born 1990), Canadian actress
  • Meagen Fay (born 1957), American actress
  • Megan Follows (born 1968), Canadian actress
  • Megan Fox (born 1986), American actress
  • Meagan Good (born 1981), American actress
  • Megan Hart (born 1971), American author
  • Megan Hauserman (born 1981), American model and reality TV star
  • Megan Hilty (born 1981), American actress
  • Megan Jendrick (born 1984), American swimmer
  • MEGAN

    MEGAN ("MEtaGenome ANalyzer") is a computer program that allows optimized analysis of large metagenomic datasets.

    Metagenomics is the analysis of the genomic sequences from a usually uncultured environmental sample. A large term goal of most metagenomics is to inventory and measure the extent and the role of microbial biodiversity in the ecosystem due to discoveries that the diversity of microbial organisms and viral agents in the environment is far greater than previously estimated. Tools that allow the investigation of very large data sets from environmental samples using shotgun sequencing techniques in particular, such as MEGAN, are designed to sample and investigate the unknown biodiversity of environmental samples where more precise techniques with smaller, better known samples, cannot be used.

    Fragments of DNA from an metagenomics sample, such as ocean waters or soil, are compared against databases of known DNA sequences using BLAST or another sequence comparison tool to assemble the segments into discrete comparable sequences. MEGAN is then used to compare the resulting sequences with gene sequences from GenBank in NCBI. The program was used to investigate the DNA of a mammoth recovered from the Siberian permafrost and Sargasso Sea data set.

    Butter on a summer day
    When she's around
    I was on the tracks
    When the gate came down
    Suddenly I recognized
    Those bloodshot rearview mirror eyes as mine
    I heard that whistle call my name
    I almost drove away
    But Megan I had a feeling that you would be on that train
    So I just waited there for you
    Caught a ride to another town
    Where the air was clean
    And the sun never goes down
    Everyone was standing in a line
    Between the landing and the stairs
    I heard somebody call my name
    I almost climbed the stairs
    But Megan I had a feeling that someday you'd meet me there
    So I just waited there for you
    Butter on a summer day
    When I hear that name
    It's a dream that never came true
    Sat down on the tracks
    And waited for a train to take me back to you
    Somebody came and took my hand
    I finally had to go
    But Megan I just want you to know
    That I waited as long as I could
