Race, Ethnicity, clinical research and general life. A reminder/explainer. TL;DR: Uncouple "ethnicity" and "genetics" - there are threads that link them but they are not useful (certainly not useful for

Last week @dr_appie stated the current consensus in human genetics that polygenic scores can't be compared between populations. He was met with some bold claims from the race science gang

Recently found $DTIL, a genomics company that owns a proprietary platform for gene editing called ARCUS. Compared to CRISPR, it is supposedly easier to deliver and safer for patients -

South African science was crucial in helping UK discover its new variants; but then the UK govt claimed (wrongly) that the SA variant is more transmissible. No evidence to support

A little late to the party (blame it on time zones), but I'm happy to share our initial findings on the reactivation of H2A.B in cancers, from an international collaboration

A long time ago, in a cozy @UofNH lab, @GeiselBiofilm suggested we do a biofilm evolution experiment with P. aeruginosa PA14. To nobody's surprise, the populations diversified, but the extent
