Colossal's de-extinction campaign is built on a semantic house of cards with shoddy foundations — and the consequences are dire | Opinion
"Dire wolves" created by Colossal Biosciences were pegged as "the first animals in history to be brought back from extinction." But that all depends on your definition of de-extinction — and Colossal'...

Thrilled to see this paper out! 🎉

We analyzed 470 (!) angiosperm genomes and identified and dated 132 whole-genome duplication events. Importantly, we observed that WGD occurrence dates are not randomly distributed, but clustered at times of major environmental upheaval.

We have over the past month or so published a nice bouquet of papers about the interaction between the Atlantic salmon, its gut microbiome and the feed it eats.

The first draft is for telling yourself the story, revisions are for telling your readers.
I don't like "Your first draft will be shitty" as advice, because it's a really negative framing.

I prefer, "You have the freedom to be messy creating your first draft."

Anyone crafter knows what their room looks like mid-creation. Writers should be as free to be as exhuberent and messy.

The gene cortex has been thought to control butterfly and moth wing colour. Now *three* preprints challenge that view, claiming that two types of regulatory RNA next to cortex might be the causal mechanisms.
