Virology with a side-order of human evolution.
That's a pretty complex recombinant - Great catch by UKHSA. Makes me wonder if the recombination happened in the reservoir or in an immunocompromised human infection.

I think "Take care to fall in love with a rich man" would be more likely to result in a child who gets good A levels...

I remain disappointed that there are not more pink clothes with dinosaurs and tractors and blue clothes with cuddly animals and flowers on them. It will gets covered in mud and glitter and paint and beans anyway...

I love that landscape. Many happy visits to see the seals nearby and the bleak majesty of Dunwich.

Ooh the good people of PubPeer think the whole paper is AI slop, including the references and the model the paper is supposed to describe. Big egg on face for Springer Nature.

It really is a gift that keeps on giving.

If someone you know buys into claims about "genetic optimization" of embryos using polygenic scores of cognition, just send them our 2024 paper on Beethoven & musicality. We wrote it to help communicate limits of individual-level genetic predictions & complexity of links between DNA & behaviour. 🧪👇
Notes from Beethoven’s genome
Wesseldijk et al. compare the genomic information collected from Ludwig van Beethoven with population-based datasets used to quantify musical achievement.
