There is a lot of data available from a poster session at the JHU APL website. For example https://www.jhuapl.edu/InterstellarProbeExploration/api/Poster/Image/7

This particular study was looking for transgenerational effecta and not at the direct effects due to exposure. I am confident there are and will be more study of the latter. Interestingly seven of the authors have Kyiv, Ukranian addresses

There are about 3x as many microbial cell in the human body as there are human cells. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_microbiome#Relative_numbers

There is a Federal Energy Regulatory Commission with a fine website including a video about their work and contact info for the commissioners. They were active this week on the reliability issue. https://www.ferc.gov/sites/default/files/2021-02/E-3-AD18-7-000.pdf

Please let us not forget J. Edgar and COINTELPRO

The phrase "these United States" has been used only rarely, at least in the publications scanned by google, and much more Post-Civil war than before. There is a curious spike in 1983.

Belay that request.

FF 3.6 here

I did the upgrade and received the notice that it won't work on my 10.4.11 Mac. Mozilla could have checked the useragent and known it wouldn't work and they could have posted something on the download page to tell me it wouldn't work but they didn't, until after I installed it.

Installation removed my working FF3.6.24. I backed it up but, for some reason, I can't move it back into the Applications folder. sudo cp -r {source} /Applications doesn't change the Applications directory.

So know I'm using Safari and lost all the plugins.

Does anyone know a way to go back to 3.6? I'm otherwise happy with the 10.4 macos.

It was a Nature article. The Weather Underground has a thoughtful discussion.

The variances are what makes us different, one from another. Medical research is very interested in why some people get diseases and others do not. The 1000 Genomes Project was announced in 2008 and finished its pilot study last year http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1000_Genomes_Project

Well, my first response is, feel free to try it.

But remember the source material is one individual's genetic material. I believe in the original study they repeated the chemistry many times to be sure the findings were consistent. Assuming you can get this individual to give you some DNA why do you think it won't be contaminated as well. Remember that there are a large number of genes that have not been associated with some function. Personally I think it is more important to figure out what the proteins are doing and how they work together than worry about a 1% error in the bookkeeping.

From the abstract

"We ... suggest there is a need to clean up genomic databases but fear current tools will be inadequate to catch genes which have jumped the silicon barrier. "
