23andme postorder DNA profiling is slowly collapsing. CEO wants to take it private, and board has resigned in protest. This is one of the corps that went public using a SPAC to capitalise on the height of hype. Founded 2006, SPAC in 2021. Revenue is down, and money should run out soon. Seems there's no business model on top of the 1 time purchase of a DNA test. Key asset obv is the data, so I think we can wait for it to be sold to whoever bids most.

is DNA in engram or not yeah I think so yeah okay yeah yeah I think so but now now again that that requires that requires a real shift I think most biologists would say no but I think it is because I think that um all memories are just messages from your past self and that what's happening with DNA is that previous previous basically there's this giant lineage agent that's the scale of an evolutionary lineage and the DNA are its engrams where that information is is being passed on the way that any memory would

DNA fragmentation by restriction digestion prior to dropletgeneration enables optimal accuracy by separating tandemgene copies, reducing sample viscosity, and improving templateaccessibility for input samples >66 ng per well
NEB says
Digestion is recommended whenever DNA input is greater than 75 ng Source
NEB says that biorad recommends these enzymes: AluI, CviQI, HaeIII, HindIII-HF, MseI
More guidelines
- Assemble ddPCR reactions at room temperature, this allows the restriction enzyme to digest the gDNA during the reaction set-up period
- Prepare reaction mixes as you would for a standard ddPCR reaction. Add 0.5–1 μL of each restriction enzyme (5–20 units, depending on enzyme concentration) to the reaction mixture
- After set-up, simply continue droplet generation as normal
- Restriction enzyme will be inactivated during first PCR denaturation step

back to the former 00:02:28 state of Israel
There was no "former state of Israel" for the European Jews, and that biblical missconception framed the grave consequences of their colonization. Ashkenazies had patrilinear only of M.Eastearn origin - their husbants were convested to Jewdaism:
Thus the great majority of Ashkenazi maternal lineages were not brought from the Levant, as commonly supposed, nor recruited in the Caucasus, as sometimes suggested, but assimilated within Europe. These results point to a significant role for the conversion of women in the formation of Ashkenazi communities, and provide the foundation for a detailed reconstruction of Ashkenazi genealogical history.
-
during the nearly 2,000 years this had become very much a place dominated by Arab Muslim communities so the Jews were moving back
Grave missconception, Arabs did not replace Palestine populations.
Modern DNA tells that people of Palestine, Jews and Muslims, Christians and Druzes, never left the place. Arab emigration were mostly a spread of their ideology, not in body counts. The admixture of Arab DNA to the Muslims of the Levant is actually lower than expected, and non-existent for other Levantines.
-
going back 3,000 years state of Israel was um dominated by a Jewish 00:01:26
Non-Jewish religions (Kebarans, Natufians, Sumerians & Akkads and later Babylonians originating from Levant, Anatolia & Eurates crescent) and non-Semitic races (the biblical "Philistines") all co-existed for millennia before the Bible was even written, 1200-200 BC. Jews being the dominant population probably applies only after ~600BC, when they started returning from the 80y Babylonian enslavement, and started to gradually re-occupy their fatherlands, a significant event that culminated a sense of identity much stronger than that of the neighboring populations.

TEs are transposable elements.
Transposons are mobile DNA elements.Can move throughout the genome. Can be catagorised as class 1 (retrotransposons) or class 2 (DNA transposons).
Class 1 comprises TEs with LTRs, retroposons (LINE), SINEs.
Class 2 comprises TEs that operate under replicative transposition or non-replicative transposition. Replicative transposition (nick and paste) -- a total of two TEs as an end result, one as part of the donor and one as part of the target sequence. cointegrate.
Non-replicative transposition (cut and paste) - only one TE generated, in the target.

Semi-conservative method was eventually determined to be correct based on empirical evidence from Messelson & Stahl, in 1958.

Parental strands consist of N-15 isotopes. Replicated daughter strands consist of N-14 isotopes. The CsCl ultracentrifugation process creates density gradient. This allows DNA fragments of different densities to migrate and form a band at the point at which their buoyant density equals that of the salt.

New DNA technology is shaking up the family trees of many plants and animals.
One of Darwin's most compelling arguments in favour of evolution by means of natural selection was just how many different, apparently unrelated phenomena it explained. One of these was 'Classification' (what we now call taxonomy).
Darwin argued that, when the taxonomists of his day arranged species into hierarchical groups, those tree-like groupings were best explained by genealogical descent.
Now that biological evolution is accepted as a fact, genealogical descent has become the criterion taxonomists use to place species into hierarchical groups. Ironically, Darwin's explanation of taxonomy means it can no longer be used to justify his theory because modern taxonomy is, in effect, defined by his theory.
The strongest tool we have for identifying genealogical descent in species is modern DNA analysis. This has helped identify many mistakes in former, non-DNA-based taxonomic classifications. But DNA analysis can't be used in all cases… For example, we do not have access to DNA samples of the vast majority of extinct species.

half of the difference in gene expression between chimps and humans has to do with genes that are coding for olfactory receptors, other differences are related to the size of the pelvic arch, the amount of body hair, immune system recognition capabilities, some aspects of reproductive isolation, etc; those and others account for almost all the genetic differences between chimps and humans.

if the magnetic tape remains tightly wound, you can’t read the information on the cassette. Epigenetics works by unspooling the tape, or not, to control which genetic instructions are carried out. In epigenetic inheritance, the DNA code is not altered, but access to it is.
An interesting way to describe epigenetics. It is like magnetic tape on a cassette, you have to unwind it to be able to read its content. Epigenetics, by analogy would be controlling the spooling of the DNA for accessibility.
