Recently we published this paper in @GeneticsGSA. A classic example of using modern genomics to decipher the biological wonder of non-model organisms. academic.oup.com/genetics/ad…

The contribution of an X chromosome QTL to non-Mendelian inheritance and unequal chromosomal...

Abstract. Auanema freiburgense is a nematode with males, females, and selfing hermaphrodites. When XO males mate with XX females, they typically produce a

Here, in full directly on Twitter, is "A Hackers' Guide to Language Models". This 90 minute tutorial is designed to be the one place I point coders at when they ask "hey, tell me everything I need to know about LLMs!" It covers both @OpenAI models and open source ones in depth.

Why so few males? What are the mechanisms to produce skewed sex ratios in nematodes? Check out the review "Fisher vs. the Worms: Extraordinary Sex Ratios in Nematodes and the Mechanisms that Produce Them" mdpi.com/2073-4409/10/7/1793

Amazing case report. The medicine of tomorrow. 5 week old boy admitted to NICU. Within 37 hours he had his whole genome sequenced, gene defect identified, treatment ordered and received by patient. Within 6 hr symptoms resolved. tinyurl.com/4emtz2p4
