Time restricted eating/feeding is just a special case of intermittent fasting, no?

I believed that "more effective at loosing weight" would be self-evident in that context.

The intermittent fasting group adhered to the prescribed eating interval 6.1 days per week. In the calorie restriction group, 68 percent achieved the calorie reduction target over six months. The intermittent fasting group lost more weight,

You can release your DNA with an open (source) license. I personally would be hesitant, similar as I would not open source my fingerprints, health records etc., even if it is forbidden to abuse them.

But several consumer genetics companies do offer health reports. AFAIK it is perfectly allowed to turn insights from studies into personalized reports as long it is clear that this is not diagnostics or medical advice.

This is true. Bioinformatics was full of Perl scripts for a variety of (text) analyses. I however remember well that many students began to hate it soon after working with it, as it was very difficult to understand existing code. So, when g

Yes, there is extra information in the first cells, in particular regulatory elements such as miRNAs. The headline here is epigenetics.

You could download the raw sequence reads (FASTQ files) and map them to the new T2T-Y. Probably it makes more sense to wait for a new release of the T2T human genome reference, as mapping to a subset of the genome increases false positives.

I like these bottom up approaches, as they demonstrate very well how much we _don't_ know yet about life. Important to mention here Craig Venters minimal cell project syn3.0, where the team synthetically created a livable cell comprisi

Written like this, it doesn't make sense since a SNP has a length of 1. However, you need longer DNA fragments to be able to correctly determine the SNP, and old DNA tends to be fragmented. They are likely referring to those fragment l
