Possible genetic clues to ME/chronic fatigue syndrome identified in massive study DNA analysis of more than 15,500 people with the debilitating condition identifies eight tentative “genetic signals”

For #ME/CFS, genomics assessed in >15,000 indviduals
with 8 genomic loci identified.

AI's Fight to Save Lives and Species AI is quickly advancing, but is it fast enough to help save lives and species? From using Big Bio Data to crack cancer, to machine learning for conserving …

Norwich folk - come see me talking about cheetahs in a pub on 20th May (a standard evening out for me…) 🐆🧬🍺

@greymj.bsky.social this is so cool, congrats Michelle!

Gene pseudogenization in fertility-associated genes in cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus), a species with long-term low effective population size Abstract. We are witnessing an ongoing global biodiversity crisis, and an increasing number of mammalian populations are at risk of decline. Species that h

Excited to share the first publication from my PhD!!

We identify premature termination codons specific to the cheetah in genes associated with male fertility and immunity 🐆🧬

thank you!! ☺️

Congratulations @jesspeers.bsky.social, what a week - awesome conference in the middle of cheetahs and the paper accepted!

just had the news that my cheetah paper was accepted in Evolution whilst I’m in Namibia surrounded by cheetahs, cheetah experts and conservation geneticists! eeek!!
