   I don't get it. Ditching publishers to fund expert communities? Shouldn't there be some form of organisation that connects those experts, selects some as journal editors, provides infrastructure for submission/review/pap

   The SNPs can be found in the supplement, so you could check this. But why? Probably it would make more sense to check all risk alleles known to be associated with e.g. bipolar disorder to test for your own risk.

   Thanks for that thoughtful comment. I particularly agree on the fragmentation of syntax: there are several syntax styles (plyR, S2 Vs S3, ...) and I always had a hard time figuring out the underlying data structures. I think similar issues

   The improvement on predicting protein/RNA/ligand interactions might facilitate many commercially relevant use cases. I assume pharma and biotech will eagerly get in line to use this.

   My three pain points with an M1 MBP and multiple displays are - in some tools (like Emacs) the background can be mixed with blurred, outdated text from iTerm windows - after updates I must fiddle in the settings so that the windows are cor

    While it's true that most of the tools for genomics are OSS, there is some good software and in particular some databases that are commercial and quite pricey. And the sequencing machines and chemicals also don't come cheap, as th

    Yes, but the type of GWAS-based reports they offer not very well suited to uncover medical conditions like this.

    I assume it could be made more responsive by using a streaming text-to-speech synthesis like ElevenLabs Cheetah. This approach was taken by the RoboDad recently discussed on HN. Btw, is there a streaming text-to-speech tool that supports la

    AFAIK they do no longer rely on BGI for sequencing, but set-up their own facilities.

    DNA has been extracted from Neanderthal bones more than 50.000 years old. DNA is very durable, for all practical purposes. I've heard some DNA synthesis vendors like Twist Biosciences will offer it commercially next year.
