A replicator would be amazing, but I'd never trust a transporter. They're like death traps! I'm concerned replicators might be abused if widely available. Remember why the Kazon wanted one? #StarTrek #SciFiTech @mafnoor.bsky.social

Congrats Sarah, @mafnoor.bsky.social, and team on such a cool paper!
Transposable elements drive much of naturally occurring genetic lethality in Drosophila melanogaster
Recessive lethal mutations are widespread across studied species, with estimates suggesting that each individual carries at least one. Numerous lethal alleles persist in wild populations at higher fre...
