A shame that the people who most need to read this study are likely the same people who are least willing to engage with it, but it’s an interesting read.

Discover results published in the latest issue of Science Magazine, using our new PrimateAI-3D, an #AI algorithm, that predicts disease-causing genetic mutations with unprecedented accuracy.

[Daniel MacArthur @dgmacarthur]

Yep. We’re witnessing the slow death of hypothesis-driven science, and (contrary to reports) this is mostly positive. It doesn’t mean ignoring biology; it means letting the data tell you what’s interesting, then designing experiments to validate and explore new patterns.

Yes, ChatGPT is amazing and impressive. No, @OpenAI has not come close to addressing the problem of bias. Filters appear to be bypassed with simple tricks, and superficially masked.

And what is lurking inside is egregious.

guy walks in to an ad agency’s office

he tells the agency “i’ve got a new platform for you, you’re gonna love it. it’s a little unorthodox though”

so the agency says, “alright let’s see it!”

@Kat_Szymanska Congratulations! Great to see this story out from all the OG Team Meckel crew.

Cancer genomics and mutational signatures - not my usual wheelhouse but delighted to see our work out in @nature today. Nice explainer thread from Martin below.

[David Parry @d_a_parry]

@ArisKatzourakis @EvolveDotZoo Seems to be frequently cited as evidence (along with dN/dS) that omicron is result of a lab leak from a GOF study. I assume that’s what is being referred to.

And I thought checking twitter today might be a mistake. Merry Christmas!

Westminster voting intention:

LAB: 40%
CON: 32%
LDEM: 10%
GRN: 7%

via @focaldataHQ, 01 - 21 Dec

MRP projection on these numbers would give...
> Lab majority of 26
> Defeat for Boris Johnson in Uxbridge & South Ruislip

@Nature I keep coming across this problem so here's a code snippet to fix the common human gene culprits :

Would be great if journals could provide some of that "added value" by sanity checking uploaded data though.
