   I absolutely love Wolbachia. I did some work with Wolbachia in theoretical biology a long, long time ago. They're usually only transmitted maternally and different strains came up with different strategies to maximise Wolbachia offspri

   The author, Balaji, is a huge voice for crypto on Twitter/X. This smells a lot like trying to rewrite history to try and distance crypto from SBF's fraud.

   I've really liked the idea of scidataflow in this context: https://github.com/vsbuffalo/scidataflow It's neat for research as it stores the data on scientific data repositories like Zenodo and you get DOIs.

    That is true! Samples are usually good forever in the freezer. Do they keep all samples? Running -80C freezers is not cheap! I have 3 -80C freezers in my lab, those large chest-freezers, and each uses 22 kWh per day for a total of 66 kWh pe

    That's not possible with 23andMe data, they have 640,000 SNPs, not the entire genome/exome/methylome. They have 640k points where the genome is often different from others, but your own genome is 3Gbp long (3,000,000,000 base

    Streaming definitely destroyed sampling as a musical method: every sampled recording house wants their slice of the pie, and if the income is low as it is with streaming records, you minimise your sampling to keep more pie to yourself. Many
