#selection

@hverdonk.bsky.social et al. expand on multiclass synonymous substitution (MSS) models, revealing widespread selection on synonymous codon usage across ~12K Drosophila genes.

Stuart et al. show footprints of selection after near-extinction: genetics of wild and captive Lord Howe stick insect show that after a severe bottleneck, inbreeding appears to remove harmful mutations via increased homozygosity.

FFS, Wired, cut that clickbait BS.
We are, as are many other animals. After you produce enough progeny #selection doesn't give a shit about your #longevity anymore and entropy takes over. Every biologist with even a rudimentary #ecology training knows that.

The problem that we're not programmed in a way "there is something which get switched on and you die", that would be easy, it's "many things go out of control, you die unless you fix _all of them_".

Dumb politicians 101

Leaving aside the hyperbolic ‘I’ll kill him/her’, after all this time how stupid do they need to be .Sacked for ignorance if not nothing else.

When the letter from the resident was shared in the WhatsApp group, Gwynne wrote a suggested response: “Dear resident, fuck your bins. I’m re-elected and without your vote. Screw you. PS: Hopefully you’ll have croaked it by the all-outs.”

Evolution of cellular and developmental regulatory networks

16. jan 2025 #evolution #selection #drift #regnetworks

Developmental regulatory systems have evolved via natural selection that builds adaptations, but also via developmental system drift. We explore evolution of these networks with focus on the role of cryptic genetic variation, stabilizing and compensatory selection, developmental specificity of mutations and transcriptional responses to decanalization.
