RWSL were red in the video. https://viewfromthewing.com/__trashed-13/ So maybe we'll be looking at training and fatigue for the firefighters too

Obviously, random chance... It's a bit ignorant/racist to expect people from different countries to look distinctly different (fashion notwithstanding), when genetics are so overla…

I think that's the point... Then world coin comes to the rescue

second suspect also released...

It seems their deeper sequencing of dire wolf samples clarified the phylogeny - they claim the dire wolf's closest living relative is the gray wolf, at 99.5% identity. The 2021 stu…

Why do you think this is reputable research? MDPI does not inspire confidence, and it's written by a UFOlogist-chemist. And what is "radar ultrasound"?!

I think it is a fair generalization at this point. Mbuti also have a ~6% West Eurasian admixture signal using an ancient (4.5kya) Ethiopian individual as reference, though Pickrell…

Hasn't backmigration/Eurasian admixture post-introgression made that true? iirc reference bias artefactually made African genomes look like they had no Neanderthal segments. https:…

Yeah the preprint was last year https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.15796

Probably the vast majority of studies are correct and a few misinterpret artefacts, and then a journalist uses an evocative word like "teeming" without knowing that what they're sa…

Why hasn't it passed peer review yet? Maybe because they only used techniques prone to artefacts. IMO if a brain microbiome exists in healthy people it would have been seen already…

see also: Applied Science's attempt 12 years ago (no fancy pressurized mixing machine so the result is weaker than the real thing). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsSwvmNEr0Q IMO …

Explain to us how water "tension", density, and viscosity are variables that would change? It's just water, and temperature is set at ~25 C. The shape of the pool and gutter setup …

Slightly related: pro cyclists inhale small amounts of CO to measure their physiological adaptation to altitude training (and maybe dope with it too) https://escapecollective.com/e…

This project's trying to add 53-bit *scrambling* with an ESP32. Maybe not technically encryption, but the lines are blurry https://github.com/kamilsss655/ESPRI?tab=readme-ov-file

You can see author contributions at the end. It took 5 to write it, and everyone else to get the samples, perform experiments, analyze data, etc. Pretty typical for genomics.

Misleading title ("Their" Genes). I don't see what introners have to do with the human genome?? They found evidence for introners in 5% of species... Original paper: https://www.pn…

| Is horizontal gene transfer [1] the right term for this phenomenon? This is "incomplete lineage sorting". There's no need to invoke anything more exotic than standard vertical in…

The authors show increased depression risk in the 90 days PRE-exposure (before starting treatment). To me, the authors seems to have dangerously misinterpreted the data. It could e…

Literally any genetic disease (or shortcomings like aging) could have missing facets hidden in these newly-complete regions of the genome. It's kind of the same reason you would wa…

Dropped the citation. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2102507 Thanks to the NBA for good time series data
