  1. New poseidon-hs release (v2.2.2.1)! So much has happened since our last blog update that I took the opportunity to write a roundup: Poseidon v3.0.0 support, streaming multi-GB AADR-sized archives, a smarter `forge` query language, genotype ploidy checks, VCF writing, and quality-of-life fixes.

    Huge thanks to @ClemensSchmid who has driven much of this work! 🔱

  16. Gene That Differs Between Humans and Neanderthals Could Shed Light On The Species Disappearance Mouse Study Suggests

     Allan Henderson (CC BY 2.0) A gene called ASDL, which helps synthesize DNA, differs between modern humans and our extinct human relatives. The findings could shed light on why Neanderthals vanished. A protein that helps synthesize DNA is different in modern humans than it is in Neanderthals and Denisovans  our closest extinct relatives  and new experiments in mice genetically modified to express the modern human version hint that this may have made us behave differently…….Continue […]

    Auch wenn ich den "Sinn" hinter eurer Aktion verstehe ("sehr (sehr?) viele Deutscher haben keine reindeutschen Gene"?), so kann ich die Aktion dennoch nicht gut heissen.

    Warum sollte ich meine DNA an irgendeine Firma in den USA abtreten? 23andMe z.B. wurde vor grob einem Jahr erst verkauft. Was dann mit den Daten und DNA-Proben passiert bzw. noch passieren wird? Unklar…
