Are there any #geneticists on here or do you know any who are willing to answer a few questions for an article I'm writing? Boosts appreciated.

#US #startup charging couples to ‘screen #embryos for #IQ’
#Heliospect’s services were marketed at $50,000 for 100 embryos. Managers boasted they could produce gain of more than 6 IQ points. Selecting embryos for high IQ is not permitted under #UK law. While legal in US, where #embryology is more loosely regulated, IQ screening is not yet commercially available there.
Leading #geneticists and #bioethicists said the project raised a host of moral and medical issues.

I have just discovered that protein naming is ridiculous. Hats off to #geneticists

#Geneticists have written new chapters in the #reconstruction of #PreColonial -Americas #history after using #DNA from the #Indigenous #Ashaninka people from #Amazonian #Peru . They've #discovered previously #unexpected levels of #genetic variation in this group & #uncovered a strong hint that these people were involved in South-to-North #migration that led to #transition from #archaic to ceramic #culture in the #Caribbean islands.

Too little, too late? Well it comes late but it is never TOO late. & it is pretty little. So do more to make sure it is not too late!
Geneticist Sarah Tishkoff: “I didn’t realize the extent 2 which" well-respected geneticists "believed in eugenic ideology,” Really?!! 🤨 🤨 #Geneticists support of #eugenics isn't new news. How about as a 1st step post apology: every PhD candidate required 2 take a course in the #HistoryofAmericanBiology?

Loved how #geneticists who care about #conservation has been on the side of "people and nature" approach of conservation since really early. Otto Frankel did some socially-aware work for his time.

All right, #genealogists and #geneticists, a question. I’m doing #genealogy and am wondering, what are the odds that a second cousin once removed shares only 39 cM with a person? (The cousin’s kids also seem to share between 21 and 36, which isn’t weird as chunks of #DNA can be inherited…but.) 39 seems low and Ancestry pegs the cousin as 4th-6th cousin. I’m wondering how likely it is that they are a HALF-2nd cousin 1x removed. ISOGG gives avg 122 cM (14-352 range) for 2C1R, 66 (0-190) for half

As their research is twisted to fuel racist claims, many geneticists are weighing the societal risks of their work.
