@sethbannon Wow. Speechless at the cluelessness of that post.

GSK axes hepatitis B vaccine trial.

The prices of cancer drugs in the United States have increased significantly after their initial launch, compared to more stable pricing observed in European countries. A particularly pronounced effect is seen in oncology.

Huh, even when controlling for age, sex, smoking status and tumor mutational burden, Tang et. al find that obesity is associated with oncogenic driver mutations.

A fascinating story. An SVA element inserted into the ASIP locus caused reduced expression before humans and Neanderthals diverged. A second insertion in Europeans 14-25 kya restored splicing, increasing ASIP expression and lead to lighter pigmentation.

@SashaGusevPosts Huh very intriguing, BMI is definitely well powered to study this but intrigued as to how this can explain overlap of psychiatric disorders e.g SCZ and BD (can't think of a proper meditator tho).

Woah, pretty stunning finding. A stretch of 18 bp in a non-coding gene, RNU4-2, linked to a non-trivial percentage of NDD cases. Also interesting is that the de novo variants were all on the maternal allele. Very cool!
