Right! I'm so glad you picked this up, the results look very similar to me :)

Quite apart from which, bringing manufacturing back to the US (a laudable aim) will raise prices anyway, because the reason they off-shored them in the first place was to make cars cheaper....

That specifically right there is the sound of science in the US dying

Two journals tried paying peer reviewers and found increased acceptance, earlier reports, and no change in quality. WHAT A SURPRISE!

Has to be the Heston Easter eggs at Waitrose, surely 🤣

you've seen the Easter Eggs, right?

Yep. It's rightly described as a timebomb. No idea what the solution is, but the inter-generational gap is obscene.

... indeed, and this only gets worse when generations who couldn't buy their own houses start to retire

74% of all known microbial species remain unstudied www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...
biorxiv.org
Ten species comprise half of the bacteriology literature, leaving most species unstudied
Microbiology research has historically focused on a few species of model organisms. Our bibliographic analysis finds extreme bias in the distribution of bacteriology research across species, with half...

We better get used to it! Apparently RFK is "finally" going to investigate vaccines/autism

CIDRAP: "Almost a third of preteens, teens with long COVID still not recovered at 2 years, study shows" Guardian: "Most teenagers recover from long Covid after 2 years, study shows" That headline is a choice. The news here is really that 29% of kids with #LongCovid still had symptoms at 2 years.
A headline from The Guardian reads: Most teenagers recover from long Covid after two years, study shows

The photo accompanying the headline is a pial of vials with red caps.

Can't believe you don't use "Solexa sequencing"

You're right, I'm rusty on this 😂 Both ONT and PacBio are single molecule. ONT assays the molecule directly, PacBio via incorporation events I do think measuring the molecule directly represents a step change :)

Do the clones copy the DNA modifications like methylation and such? Genuine question, I don't know

But in all seriousness, I think nanopore is the only one that assays the original, unaltered, unamplified, native molecule. Am I wrong?

A reminder that if you are reading a preprint and the data is not released but is available (privately) on Genbank, SRA, or GEO, you can email and ask for it to be released.

I'd say they're different because they assay single molecules

Building a comprehensive genomic database for as many foods in FOODB as possible we could connect individual genomes to nutrient content. For now we can match 77% of all foods in FOODB with taxonomic information and the next version of the database will push this to 90%.
