Physiology, the functioning of a cell at a given time and in a given set of physiochemical conditions, is an emergent property that cannot be reliably predicted from genomic data or metabolic reconstructions alone. #testthy(metagenomic)hypotheses

Wird sie auch nicht, das steht lange vorher fest. Ausserdem warum wuerde man den Preis geben nur weil ein Zettel unterschrieben wurde. Es kann gut sein dass Israel am Samstag schon wieder bombadiert oder die Hamas Geiseln erschiest.

Ich stimme ihnen ja zu. Aber hier mal drei Beispiele wer den Friedensnobelpreis auch bekommen hat: Arafat, ein Terrorist. Kissinger, einer der groessten Kriegstreiber des 20sten Jahrhunderts. Obama, "wos wor jetzt mei Leistung". Den Preis kann keiner Ernst nehmen.

Was wikipedia sagt: “Novoselov was the youngest Nobel laureate in physics since Brian Josephson in 1973, and in any field since Rigoberta Menchú (Peace) in 1992.”

Ausnahmen bestätigen die Regel ;) Konstantin Novoselov war 35 als er 2010 den Nobelpreis fuer seine Graphen Experimente bekam.

Obwohl natürlich auch mal ein blindes Hund ein Korn finden kann gehe ich grundsätzlich davon aus, dass alles wogegen die FPOe wettert zu befürworten ist. Und in der Regel, je lautet sie kreischt, desto Unterstützung würdiger.

Oh it is. It was more tongue in cheek. But I do think arguments can be made for a two domain tree of life :)

According to this sheet red blood cells are prokaryotes because they lack a nucleus.

I said it before and say it again. For every person who does metagenomics, we need 100 people who are doing the experimental work to test all the hypotheses raised by genomics.

I agree, there’s enough metagenomics data around to keep experimentalists busy for the next hundred years or more ;)

They'd pay a company to sequence and withhold the data from NCBI as long as possible. So I think your example is mostly theoretical.
