You better download your data while the NCBI still exists..

This study offers crucial insights into the mechanisms of aging & has implications for tortoise conservation. We hope it inspires future research.

We compared Jonathan's genome to other tortoises & identified unique nsSNVs, gene expansions, and positively selected genes linked to longevity.

Our research suggests a model for aging: Efficient mitochondrial energy production fuels nuclear maintenance of low methylation entropy.

Jonathan's genome shows variants in DNA repair & telomere regulation pathways. His methylome reveals age-related changes, with low entropy regions enriched for electron transport chain genes.

the reason NIH exists -- and the reason American biomedicine is as strong as it is -- is to "buy" research that the government wants and needs but thinks it can't produce on its own

For me, writing is a form of thinking. It really helps clarify what's going on in my brain, because I have to like, explain it to write it down.

So, if you're a beginner and you want to write a blog post on something you're learning? Please do! It will help you, and everyone else.
