Check it out our new preprint. We applied our recent method `SFRatios` to estimate selection coefficients for all 134 ordered pairs of synonymous codon changes. Results indicate that natural selection on synonymous codons is weak but sufficient to define codon fitnesses that strongly correlates with observed codon frequencies. Indeed, a model of codon usage with mutation, drift and selection predicts the data better than a model with only mutation and drift.

I’m 37 years old and living with end-stage kidney disease in Oregon. I urgently need a living kidney donor. My blood type is A+. NKR covers all costs—travel, lodging, medical, and time off work.

Just learned this Fun fact: ””socialist Norway” has almost 2 trillion USD in their Sovereign Wealth Fund.
If everybody quit working today, Norway could maintain its standard of living for more than 400 years.
They nationalized their oil and gave the profits to the government, not shareholders.
Socialism is the enemy of billionaires, but the friend of the middle class.”

#Canada needs to do the same. The whole world needs to do the same.

At a time where the vulnerability of relying on US digital infrastructure and cloud services is huge, our AlgoSoc program pilot to rely on European cloud services is more relevant than ever.

Alternatives are not easy. But necessary.
