I almost forgot this account... Whether or not you're still using it, here's an update: my paper on M-matrix (w/ @mwpen) is published! Again, many thanks to @ArlinStoltzfus @TheDMMcC @JoannaMasel @jgschraiber for feedback! academic.oup.com/gbe/article/17…

@mwpen @ribonucleicacid @MolSystBiol Full 🧵 introducing the study is here: bsky.app/profile/rexjia…

It's official! My paper (with @mwpen & @ribonucleicacid) on the evolution of gene product diversity (RNA/protein expressed from this same gene having alternative isoforms) is now online at @MolSystBiol! embopress.org/doi/full/10.10…

I’m very much done with this app but here’s something for which I’m willing to come back & tweet… Our paper on the evolution of gene is just accepted at @MolSystBiol !🥳 Final version coming soon!

Also, many thanks to @ArlinStoltzfus @TheDMMcC @JoannaMasel @jgschraiber for thoughtful feedback 😊!

Here comes (new version of) my preprint w/ @mwpen on how hidden aspects of the mutational input not captured by the M-matrix affects the course of evolution! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@TetZoo I meant unidentified mysterious animal (the acronym is created by Japanese lol)...anyway, I don't feel optimistic about their future (if they exist), whether they're marine or not...

@EvolutionlordXY In this context, I'm guessing that UMA = unidentified marine animal? (Loch Ness isn't marine, but...)

Take your mind off US politics (at least for a few minutes) and read about a series of arguments pertaining to the #LochNessMonster ... tetzoo.com/blog/2024/11/4… #monsters #LochNess #Nessie #cryptozoology

@HarmitMalik Let’s hope this isn’t the last one

At least there will be a peaceful exchange of power this time #silverlining

@chasewnelson Thank you for doing this!

Just signed, sealed, delivered my OFFICIAL ABSENTEE VOTER’S BALLOT. I feel it’s my responsibility to tip the balance toward the better of two futures. Voting is just one of the actions I can take. Lives are at stake, and if I can prevent even one from being destroyed, I will.

@TetZoo I’m having them decorate my new office space. They’re lovely and look nice along with other releases of the series 🦖

Gashapon #dinosaurs, some of which were on sale at #TetZooCon

@Sophiesaurus98 I can see why manufacturers of my childhood dinosaur toys couldn’t distinguish Spinosaurus & Dimetrodon🤣(don’t let them know the existence of Secodontosaurus) pic by @satoshikawasaki I believe

@SomniosusW @akonyka Not sure about the Psittacosaurus-like one. I know this genus has many species but idk if any one of them is found in Henan…

@SomniosusW @akonyka The alvarezsaurid being Qiupanykus, hadrosaur being Zhanghenglong…

Henan Dinosaurs complex. Try to guess what they are?

@DocEdge85 Chance to teach them some logic/set theory (but how can a kid be so brutal🥲)

9yo (who loves cybertrucks), earnestly: Dad, how come you don't like cybertrucks? Most of the people I see driving them are other bald guys

@Beast_SculptKit @EonsShow Really wish to see more 1/35 scale figures to accompany my 1/35 T. rex, since I don't have much space for big ones...

I've had several requests to see the @EonsShow Mammoths with some Beasts of the Mesozoic/ Cenozoic figures. Luckily I was able to snap a few comparison shots- hope this helps! The Eons Prehistoric Elephants crowdfunding campaign is going on now: backerkit.com/c/projects/com…

@jgschraiber If I’d feel bad about them in any way, it’s the fact that I brought them to the ruthless cyber world where the simulations take place. That’s the ultimate reason why they die, isn’t it?

Do you ever feel bad for all the people who die in your population genetic simulations?

@jgschraiber I also think there are many things that can be considered both as “genetics” and “genomics”, and the choice of word is based on non-scientific reasons….😂

@jgschraiber One of the differences must be that “genomics” is used for bragging.

What is the difference between "genetics" and "genomics"?
