So long Hobart, see you in February! I’m on board Australia’s icebreaker RSV Nuyina, heading south for the summer to collect environmental DNA samples to study biodiversity. We left yesterday afternoon, heading to Casey Station in #Antarctica and then Heard Island ❄️ 🐧 🧬 #eDNA

Just finished watching the fascinating documentary “Secrets of the Neanderthals” on Netflix. Not a lot of DNA discussion but there is one part where they can identify whether the remains are male or female based on a dental protein. Here’s a link to the trailer: youtu.be/b5YtgLSU_sE?...

“Our findings raise the possibility that this delta–theta band oscillation could serve as a target engagement biomarker, but its relationship to food preoccupation warrants more controlled investigation," authors of the study conclude. #ISOGG #tirzepetide #epigenetics www.nature.com/articles/s41...

“Brand new study reveals magnesium increases certain gut bacteria that synthesize vitamin D and inhibit the development of colorectal cancer.” #vitaminD

Can’t wait! Looking forward to it!

New #AI vocabulary term “Vibe Coding”: “…coined by OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy in February. "There's a new kind of coding I call 'vibe coding,' where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists," #vibecoding #CRAIGEN @craigenorg.bsky.social

“But the new study, published Friday (Oct. 24) in the journal Current Biology, indicates these soldiers may have been weakened by fevers caused by B. recurrentis & then killed by paratyphoid (a disease unrelated to typhus), which is caused by S. enterica and spreads via contaminated food & water.”

“Our findings show that symptoms are more often triggered by fermentable carbohydrates, commonly known as FODMAPs, by other wheat components or by people’s expectations and prior experiences with food.”

“Chiari Malformation Type 1 occurs when the back of a human’s skull is too small to hold the brain, causing part of the base of the brain to herniate out the skull & into spinal canal. This can pinch, leading to headaches, neck pain, dizziness & severely-death if too much of the brain herniates out”

“Lithium was the only metal that had markedly different levels across groups and changed at the earliest stages of memory loss. Its levels were high in the cognitively healthy donors but greatly diminished in those with mild impairment or full-blown Alzheimer’s.” #ISOGG #epigenetics #Alzheimers #DNA

This sounds really interesting!

“Scientists have found that neurons don’t just store sugar for fuel—they reroute it to power antioxidant defenses, but only if an enzyme called GlyP is active. When this sugar-clearing system is blocked, toxic tau protein builds up and accelerates brain degeneration.” #Alzheimers #dementia #sugar

Glad Ancestry is working to preserve privacy. Review the other genealogy AI Principles at craigen.org

“...the J-T group displayed higher FI score of mtDNA variants than other Euro macrohaplogroups, suggesting higher pathogenicity in the J-T group, whereas the H-HV group exhibited lower FI score of the mtDNA variants than other European macrohaplogroups, suggesting lower pathogenicity in H-HV group.”

Goal is “best available”…

Interestingly including random words “to take inspiration from” in the system prompt made a big difference.

“The genetic data for this study also provides further evidence that the Hay noble lineage originated in Normandy as they share the Y-SNP R1a-YP4138 with several individuals who have a surname of Norman origin.” #Normandy #geneticgenealogy #isogg

“When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope,” explains Dr Charalampos (Babis) Rallis, Reader in Genetics, Genomics and Fundamental Cell Biology at Queen Mary University of London, the study’s senior author. “And our results show that caffeine helps flip that switch.” #isogg

“…the findings from the University of Oxford suggest "that the AS01 adjuvant itself plays a direct role in lowering dementia risk.”

Huzzah!

@emollick.bsky.social points out a conundrum of #AI literacy. @craigenorg.bsky.social Education principle: “The use of AI creates new opportunities and risks. Therefore, members of the genealogical community educate themselves about AI to maximize its benefits and minimize its risks to their work.”

“Future studies may then reveal the further potential for these novel constructs to deliver drugs that halt or reverse Aβ42 aggregation to the hippocampal neurons; simply by nasal administration.” #DNA #epigenetics #isogg #Alzheimers pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

“Egg yolks also contain omega-3 fatty acids, which have neuroprotective benefits, further supporting brain health.” #epigenetics #Alzheimers #dementia #choline

“Over an average follow-up of 6.7 years, 280 participants, or 27.3 percent, were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Researchers found that 39 percent of the “total effect of egg intake” was linked to choline, a nutrient in egg yolks known to support memory & brain function.” thehill.com/policy/healt...

Check accuracy as there could be hidden code in your LLM summary: “…social media users ran it through LLMs in order to summarize it and then post the findings online. Kosmyna had been expecting that people would do this, so she inserted a couple AI traps into the paper…” #AI time.com/7295195/ai-c...

“We found that by blocking the enzyme IDO1, we are able to control the inflammation in immune cells called macrophages. Inflammation is linked to so many conditions-everything from heart disease to cancer to diabetes to dementia.” Subhrangsu S. Mandal lead author & professor chemistry @UT Arlington

“Epigenetic mechanisms are collectively referred to as the ‘epigenome’ and include one of the best studied epigenetic processes called, ‘DNA methylation’. DNA methylation has been shown to be dramatically altered in cancer tissue and can often be found in normal tissue in areas adjacent to cancer.”

“Further genetic studies, such as those carried out on Iron Age burials in Kowalewko, show that the population at large had been genetically stable for centuries.” #Mitochondrial #Poland #Scotland #genetics

“Finally, the complementary approach, that of targeting the ORC2 subunit to specific sites in the genome, will confirm the hypotheses about the direct or indirect mechanisms by which ORC2 regulates chromatin structure and gene expression.”
