    From the above Then from another mouse model paper https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4749920/ So decreased BTN2A2 means increased interferon gamma from T cells?

    Preprint Initial findings from the DecodeME genome-wide association study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, DecodeMe Collaboration

    The above link has now been updated with audio of the full paper. It’s not perfect, there’s some funky bits of pronunciation but I don’t want to spend too much more time tweaking. I also think it’s written in a very accessible way so is quite listenable. That said I’ve not listened to the...

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    If I didn’t have such bad reactions to the vaccine I’d be seeking how to get it. As I am trying with the flu vaccine. It does seem a little nuts that people who want to get vaccinated can’t get. I suppose one argument is they had huge piles going to waste because the public chose to stop having...

    Covid-19 vaccines and vaccinations

    The framing by the Telegraph criticising Labour for a decision made by the JCVI months ago seems a little political…

    Preprint Initial findings from the DecodeME genome-wide association study of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, 2025, DecodeMe Collaboration

    Presumably, full genome analysis including rarer variants could not only find other genes not looked at yet, but those genes could have a higher contribution/effect size? A few rarer variants working in conjunction with these more common ones could give clearer information on pathways involved...

    DecodeME in the media

    Straight after the news, good spot, a personal story from a young woman describing what so many have experienced from the medical profession followed by an interview with Chris Ponting. Questions on auto-immunity, medical misogyny, Chris focuses on his message well. And the interviewer is to...

    DecodeME in the media

    Nothing from the BBC website yet, hopefully there will be as it has huge reach, but looking at all the other headlines from search engine news feeds the message seems good, this is what the casual observer or half interested person will probably see. Great job by the whole team in getting the...

    Criticisms of DecodeME in the media - and responses to the criticisms

    Looks like some great reporting, a few hiccups and the usual suspects trying desperately to remain relevant. If only they’d shown such skepticism and caution around PACE and the theories they’ve been pushing for decades. Can’t imagine why there is such a difference in tone. I’m sure there’s no...

    DecodeME blog: X marks the spot where ME/CFS biology can be discovered

    Just wanted to echo all the thanks and congratulations to everyone involved in the project. But also say what a great blog post this is from @Simon M and thank him for it. I’ve been able to share it with lots of people I know who aren’t deep into ME/CFS, science or even that aware of DecodeME...

    I’ve done a quick pass at audio of the two blog posts and the abstract from the paper to help people access the results. They’re available at the below link. I’ve assumed this is okay with the authors, if not let me know and I’ll remove them...
