How could the US possibly beat these numbers? Do you imagine shutdowns more severe than Wuhan happening here?

Do you have a proposed design for such a test? I think you would be astounded by the diversity among viruses - they've been evolving for millions/billions of years, and there are an estimated 10e31 on earth “if all the 1 × 1031 v

It's real tech - miniaturization with microfluidics allows shorter cycles -> faster results. But it's not clear whether any of these companies are yet making enough machines to help, or if it's just PR. Probably the latter

That backprop is most likely an artifact of a sample on a lineage being sequenced in North America, but the lineage also continues in Asia, where that lineage had not been sequenced yet. As in, someone in Asia spread COVID-19 to two people,

Why do you consider anabolism/catabolism a binary classification? All living cells, and especially terminally differentiated ones like neurons will have a mixture of anabolic and catabolic metabolic processes taking place constantly, a

Not that $2 a gene isn't in our near future, but the method you're citing is highly error prone (on the order of 80% misassembled) and (hopefully) wouldn't look like a natural sample to a forensic lab. Commercial prices for g

Aren't you conflating actin (a protein) with actin filaments (a polymer/superstructure made up of many individual actin units)?

A little bit. Your hotdog would have to be alive. These nanoparticles are the enzymes and substrates for a luciferin reaction, which uses the plant's energy in the form of ATP to power the reaction, giving off light.

Maybe the same reason you don't see news stories about chess grandmasters beating 8 year olds? They're out of their class and dramatically outmatched - the cellphone chess programs can't really compete with better resourced c

It's possible that the traits that in some combination lead to ADHD are adaptive on their own, or in some people, or in lower doses (like having 1 copy of a gene instead of 2). If that's the case, your non-ADHD relatives might b
