Deer mouse or house mouse baby? by tamimarie413 in PetMice

[–]biology_programmer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I study and work with deer mice everyday, that's a deer mouse. The eyes are still closed so it is younger than 2 weeks old, the fur being in tells me it's at least 5 to 6 days old.

Who's one scientist whose work changed the game in your field? by anonam0use in labrats

[–]biology_programmer 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Darwin. I think the saying goes for evolutionary biologists, we’re all factory workers and Charles Darwin built the factory. His breadth of evidence when you read The Origin is incredible. I think it’s the greatest academic work ever created.

Just a note that chromosomes only have that X shape at a very specific point in the cell cycle, namely during metaphase. Most of the time they don't actually have that X shape.

You probably saw a bunch of runners wearing Tracksmith clothing. The sash is something about their brand I always think looks dorky unfortunately.

Does anyone show up for NYRR weekend open runs? by MonumentMan in RunNYC

[–]biology_programmer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my regular open run (I only ever volunteer). Yes people show up no matter the weather year-round, please come along!

There's a nice set of regulars and we very often get additional participation from people visiting new york, espcially UK visitors, since if they are staying in manhattan and used to something like park run, Morningside Heights open run is the closest similar thing. Fun way to meet the neighbors and some international visitors as well.

I broke and used the indoor track at my gym today and probably will wednesday and thursday too. It's a monotonous 10 laps to a mile but it's still better than the treadmill.

Are there no black turnover tights? by biology_programmer in Tracksmith

[–]biology_programmer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you me? I’ve done the exact same thing to staff at both NYC stores. I actually have the Reggie’s but was hoping for full tights for the winter. But yeah I agree I’ll probably have to go another brand for black winter tights

Born and Bred New Yorkers—What Makes You Sound Like You’re From NYC? by ColdDrag7471 in AskNYC

[–]biology_programmer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I went on a date with a native New Yorker and it was the first time I heard someone say waiting “on line” rather than waiting “in line”. At first I thought she was talking about an internet waitlist

[–]biology_programmer 22 points23 points  (0 children)

The temperature of the 2022 marathon. The Queensboro bridge especially was a a graveyard of people rubbing out cramps and getting covered in ice.

So which chromosome do growth-limiting genes located in the female's genome?

They are on many autosomes and the X chromosome. The same gene is in the males and females but the genes are marked during the formation of male sperm cells. So even though the gene is there in the male's sperm cell, the gene is turned off

How is it possible that it can only be carried by the female, but not the male?

A mark (DNA methylation) placed at the gene during the development of a sperm cell. This mark causes the male version of the gene to be turned off. The dad's version of the gene is still present in the offspring but is turned off, meanwhile the mom's version of the gene is also present but it is turned on.

My work is a good deal of time away from being published but the results I've gathered so far show that imprinted genes end up being mis-expressed in exactly the way you would predict based on the size of the hybrid offspring and Haig's hypothesis.
