The ∆69-70 pendulum is in the midst of yet another swing.
What makes the alternation from ∆69-70 to S:H69+ S:V70 even more remarkable is that deletions are one-way mutations. They essentially cannot be reversed. There has never been an insertion at S:69-70 in SARS-CoV-2. 1/5

Il est prescrit pour les règles douloureuses et les maux de ventre. Né en France, le Spasfon est aujourd'hui l'un des médicaments les plus vendus dans notre pays. Mais pour Juliette Ferry-Danini, les données scientifiques manquent pour défendre son efficacité. Elle a enquêté.

@melissah_rowe @ERC_Research Congrats! So happy for you!

I am thrilled that our Science paper on the evolution of Lake Victoria cichlids is now out!

Very happy to see this work published and happy to have helped a little along the way. Hopefully, this will soon be followed by more interesting work on the evolutionary consequences of chiasma interference from @kapperud

[Øystein Kapperud @kapperud]

My paper on chiasma interference is now published in Genetics. Check it out! https://t.co/On9tYhlnq3

One of my favorite papers in recent years included this diagram. It shows the impact of controlling for three different types of variables: confounders, colliders, and mediators.

With confounders, control is good. With the others, you ruin your result by controlling.

C’était la dernière étude faite pour prouver que Didier Raoult avait raison sur l'hydroxychloroquine. Elle est finalement dépubliée par ses auteurs. https://t.co/lPUhvIFN5i

@lonnibesancon @stkirsch He said «prospective» study, this one is a retrospective study. Not sure such a study exists, although I am pretty confident there would be no differences in autism rates.

Genetic variation can constrain adaptation, and correlations between trait variability and divergence are ultimate testaments of that. But how do we interpret such correlations when they last over many millions of years? New paper with @rohner_patrick

Why Architecture Is Important

(and what it says about us)

A short thread...

[Sasha Gusev @SashaGusevPosts]

A 🧵 on some of my intuitions/priors about the genetics of complex and molecular traits in humans (i.e. what I think of as typical), largely motivated by GWAS/QTL studies over the past decade [citing papers with nice figures where possible]

[Whyvert @whyvert]

New paper attempts a genetic timeline of humans.

Two key eras: "old peak" (around the time of fire) + "new peak".

(Stephen Jay Gould: "There’s been no biological change in humans in 40,000 or 50,000 years" is false.)
