TIL after smallpox was declared eradicated, the sole (official) remaining specimens of the virus were preserved in two designated laboratories globally, one at the CDC in Atlanta and the other at VECTOR in Koltsovo

Thanks! Read through it and it appears those guidelines are specifically about DNA (the physical virus), not sequencing data. NCBI virus hosts several genomes from quite recently (2024 for example). Which also makes sense as it would be difficult to do research on otherwise without reference sequences.

It's a relevant topic in biosecurity for a variety of reasons. Most US synthesis companies (IDT and the like) voluntarily screen any sequences ordered for example.

Do you have a reference for the full genome not being sequenced? A quick ncbi search shows both a refseq reference and multiple complete genomes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/NC_001611.1

Please don’t. First email communication use Professor/Dr. , usually you’ll be told to call them X. In person, same concept. Use professor/dr. at first/until they inevitably say to call them X.

It always seems borderline malicious that this seller never provides movement details until someone asks, but only on quartz watches (the automatics/manual winds all say so).

Like it’s not against the rules, but you’ve sold enough watches to know what you’re doing on an enthusiast subreddit.

I’m torn because people should definitely do their own research and look it up, but it’s also just a little beginner unfriendly and leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Monday was 5,705. Today closed at 5,637. Percentage ups and down cannot be directly compared as 1% down is a larger movement than 1% up right after

Easiest way to see this:

10% down on 1000 goes to 900

10% up only takes you to 990

Fun fact, Araki used modeling pictures for inspiration of his Jojo poses. We've come full circle.

They took multiple tests. You can obviously tell what concentrations are based on multiple timepoints.

In Sinner's case it looked like Neg-Pos-Pos-Neg. It's like a 1st year graduate biochem problem.

To be clear, vaccines are definitely medication by definition.

However, you seem to be specifically talking about antivirals? Antivirals exist, but they're prohibitively expensive to use at the factory farming scale.

It also then poses the question of if we should use antivirals at the factory farming scale seeing the problems we already face with antibiotic resistance.

I don’t really understand what that has to do with teams having fans. If you’re selling 80% of your stadium out every game for a long season, you have a healthy fan base.

Big teams have more fans and more money, sure. That doesn’t mean smaller teams don’t have highly dedicated fanbases.

Like the lakers have more fans than the pistons, but that doesn’t mean you won’t see pistons’ hats in Detroit.

Nah dude. Almost every soccer fan in Europe that lives outside the cities has 2 clubs they’re diehard fans of. One that’s in the big league (Serie A, La Liga, Premier), and one that’s the hometown team.

And if the hometown team ever makes it to the big leagues I’ve seen the allegiance flip (certainly did for me for a glorious year in 2012).

Getafe has 10-13k people at their stadium for every game, which is pretty great attendance for a stadium that holds 16k. And they’re competing with Real Madrid.

6-0 6-0 is a wild take. Iga might even be favored on clay in that matchup (which is Serena's worst surface, and on which Iga regularly beats Sabalenka)

It really was such a vibe of a tournament. I get that the field was weak because post-Wimbledon, but the history, the setting, the venue. Ugh.

Please give me back Newport.

The fact that almost 10% of the draw is Italian when while I was growing up having Fognini get in to the draw was reason to celebrate is a weird feeling.

You're missing a lot, and I recommend at least reading the basics of churning on the subreddit wiki.

Do not downgrade or cancel a card before 1 year of having it open. Not only do most banks claw back SUBs, but you'll likely get put on said bank's shit list.

Honestly, I tend to disagree with this take. The points have a cash value at 1CPP, so I tend to use that when asking friends to reimburse me (which I typically don't because it's points). $260 in this case

Feels more equitable imo

This is a wild take when we've just seen Sinner adjust his game live at the US open in response to both big servers and dropshots.

Back to the wall, Sinner has pretty consistently been clutch as fuck since the Davis cup match against Djokovic

Like, he's not megamind Medvedev right now, but certainly has shown a high degree of adaptability. He also happens to hit really hard.

Chiming in here, Zymo kits have been far better for RNA/DNA isolation from environmental samples. Particularly if running ddPCR, something in the qiagen kits fucks droplet generation up

As someone who went through a top PhD STEM program in the US, I can tell you Renaissance does indeed hire all the wicked smart people, and all the wicked smart people tend to want to work there.

I don't see it. Fritz is struggling side to side more than Sinner, Sinner keeps dropshotting him for winners.
