In a predictable turn of events, your email address & cell phone number are probably of more commercial value than your genome sequence. https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/23andme-ceo-wojcicki-no-longer-open-third-party-takeover-proposals-filing-shows-2024-09-30/

INSL3:p (insulin like 3) is a wisp of a proprotein (21-131) that contains the sequence for the titular peptide hormone's A-chain (106-131) & B-chain (21-55), with the sort of C-peptide (58-104) that any decent insulin-ish proprotein should have. All three […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Strong Typhoon Krathon is currently making landfall on the south coast of Taiwan. Its most recent predicted course has it recurving and heading southwest towards China.

This is one reason why I absolutely refuse to patronize Uber in any of its businesses. What a total scumbag of a company it is. https://www.npr.org/2024/10/02/nx-s1-5136615/uber-car-crash-lawsuit-uber-eats-arbitration-terms And if what it's done here is truly legal, it's just another […]

It may be worth noting that I have never encountered anyone with a similar collection of reviews that called out papers that were legitimately poorly written, with overly optimistic interpretations of really dodgy data.

IGF2:p (insulin like growth factor 2) is also a little on the long side for a proprotein (25-180), with its eponymous peptide hormone portion (25-91) requiring the removal of only a cward remnant. Most of the proprotein ends up being observable in blood […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Every senior scientist I have ever met likes to trot out their collection of bad reviews on papers that turned out to be influential. Getting bent out of shape about dumb reviews is, imho, kind of unprofessional. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02943-z
