Good point! Just looking back at their scRNA-seq preprint and they do report they see some differences (measured by gene ontology enrichment...
The logic kind of seems fair enough, although I wonder if comparing the whole curve might in someway dilute the signal from whichever source of...
They are using Renyi entropy which is sort of a generalised measure of diversity which includes many different measures of diversity within it....
Things like this also make it sound like the technique has potential: Would be cool to see it done on GWAS data from other diseases where much...
They outline the methods in a bit more detail in the ME paper and I think I have a slightly better handle on how they're doing the statistics. It...
Just catching up on the threads on the ME paper precision life and @Simon M's blog post - really interesting. They find 14 possible genes in the...
It's fundamentally a bad faith argument though isn't it. He's using an argument about the condition having a bad name to somehow justify the leap...
It's a very small experiment with 4 controls and 4 'chronic fatigue' patients with no mention of diagnosis criteria or age and sex matching etc....
I seem to remember it being because Ron's student R Esfandyarpour - the first author on the nanoneedle paper - was starting his own lab and needed...
I dîd the lightning process about a decade ago and you have to read a book about it first and do an interview. I was just in a relapse so health...
They use 200mM NaCl in the nanoneedle paper which is why I mentioned that number above. You would think that would be enough to really hurt, as I...
Might depend on the cell type but I think cells have salt concentrations of about 150mM and so like to sit in an isotonic buffer of about 150mM...
I think A3
[ATTACH] putting up posters, another old friend also saw my tweet and asked if they could help
Right, looking again at the diagram it seems both electrode terminals are located in a single projection that pokes into a channel roughly the...
My background is in molecular and computational biology, and not in electrical engineering but I did look into the nanoneedle a while back. The...
Setting up a biobank is important for sure but just logistically collecting serum is harder than collecting spit. It requires a phlebotomist to...
Thanks @Arvo that's interesting. As you say as they haven't published it they could have done anything, and 12 days wouldn't be long enough...
From the authors response re actimetry, it sounds like they might have actually collected really valuable natural activity histories for n=114...
