That explains it!! Thank you 🙏

Thats a solid theory, but there must be something else going on. The t-test hasn’t seen an uptick.

Here is that paper, dx.doi.org/10.1002/ctm2...
It’s just the first image I saw in a google search

If I had to guess, the Greek symbol was maybe pasted on after leading to the strange artifacts there.

I wonder how prevalent t-testing for proportions is, I feel like I see it often.
Improving transgene expression and CRISPR‐Cas9 efficiency with molecular engineering‐based molecules
Graphical Headlights Artificial nucleic acid molecules (ANAMs) are combinations of aptamers binding to the key players of the innate immune response (IIR). ANAMs strongly inhibited the IIR in cells, ...

You’re exactly right! Bar charts of proportions with error bars and t-test derived significance is more prevalent than id expect. I know folks are doing the best they can, but here’s an example from a recent paper.

Fascinating! I wonder if we will see similar gains in efficiency with wild strains.

🧵 4/4 So, cells are being engineering as bio factories so that an artificial flavor can be reclassified to meet market demands. Science is amazing, and we deserve for it to prioritize people over profits. What should a “natural” label mean for our food systems?

🧵 3/4 That is exactly what scientists have been trying to do with the second most common artificial flavor, beta phenylethanol (2-PE), for a while now. Only problem is it is toxic to the microbes engineered to produce it.

A recent paper has found new ways to make yeast resistant to this compound.

🧵 2/4 In the U.S., if a flavor substance is produced through a natural process, it can be a “natural flavor”, even if it is identical to a chemical flavor made in a lab.

Wait, with that definition, if we can engineer a microbe make the artificial flavor for us, it’s “natural” now!

ස්තුතියි. I’ve found it really challenging so far! I’m a total beginner. I had never heard of linguistic Sanskritization in Sinhala before. Thanks for introducing me to something new.

I’m trying to learn to read! I want to be able to communicate with my wife in Sinhala

This is a really useful feature, I always have to look up how to put special characters in axis labels.
