Such a solution had been previously suggested (O€ pik & Davison, 2016). However, the increased resolution of PacBio sequencing would be purchased at the price of much lower read depth per sample, and this may limit its use in ecological settings unless technical progress eliminates this trade...
a. What is the DNA concentration in this sample? b. How would you rate quality of this sample? c. If your quality is subpar, what type of contaminants could be found in your sample? Why is DNA so important? How is PCR superior to colon...
I currently use it to unlock my phone, but I'm working on getting it to do more. "Why would you put tech in yourself?" I get questions like this rather frequently. The concept of humans implanted with technology is not a new concept, but it is really found only in sci-fi. There ...
How would you explain PCR to a jury? Remember, you are explaining it to a jury (with a potentially short attentive span because they are tired and hungry) so your response should be brief and simple, yet clear and effective. Creative analogies are encoura U...
The authors would like to thank G. Klein and O. Gjoerup for helpful comments and corrections to the manuscript; M. Melbye at the Danish Statens Serum Institut, and T. Söderqvist and his staff at the Medical Museion, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, for materials; and F. Zappa for he...
“As a researcher, I’ve never seen something like that. […] “I’m one of the editors of one of the Nature journals.“ We found proxalutamide to have a NNT (number needed to treat) to prevent deaths was 2.2, which means that at least in the population of the study, for every...
“It is a bit reckless for someone to say, from the studies we have completed, that we should prescribe this drug..” That same article quotes another ivermectin researcher,Carlos Chaccourfrom Venezuela, now in Barcelona, Spain, and described as “critical of ivermectin’s use in Latin Ameri...
“If you get started right away, maybe you suppress the virus [and] the immune system doesn’t rev up in the way it normally would.” He and others have also suggested that 5 days might not be a long enough treatment course. “All these theories are total handwaving,” Wachter ...
“poliomyelitis”, all of the cases of acute flaccid paralysis caused by myriad viruses and also toxic exposures such as DDT. In fact, what would haveformerlybeen called polio, transverse myelitis and Guillain-Barre are increasingly common today. Ironically and tragically, the only US cases of ...
Explain the experimental methodology that would be used (i.e. what a biomedical scientist in the NHS would actually do step-by-step) regarding lung cancer. Describe three reasons why ''Xenopus laevis'' is widely used for studying embryonic development. What ar...
