With more than 25,000 “open-access, rapid-publication with fake revewers, predatory journals” that have been created, and continue to explode, since about 2012 — you can imagine the difficulty in trying to come up with a new name (and initials that … Continue reading →

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are two rapidly advancing fields of research, which will clearly play important roles in gene-environment interactions (GxE), as well as almost every venue of scientific study. Hence, GEITP is introducing this topic here. … Continue reading →

This is really a BIG deal. Of course, the hydrogen bomb is an example of fusion energy — but it is not “controlled energy” ☹😉 Fusion Breakthrough May Be Game-Changer for Energy Tuesday, 13 December 2022 11:22 AM EST Department … Continue reading →

Thank you, Magnus, for sharing your recent review. Thank you, Ge, for providing us with your comments on this recently-published study. For those not as “learned” in “missing heritability,” let me add a few thoughts. Genes responsible for phenotypic variation … Continue reading →

This topic is a straightforward gene-environment interactions study. First, the environmental signal is a bacterial or viral infection; the response is the release of cytokines by specific types of immune cells (at the site of the infection). These cytokines then … Continue reading →

John, I, also, was too young to appreciate McClintock’s sentinel papers (in 1958 and 1960). Barbara retired from her position at Carnegie Institution in 1967, but then she worked as scientist emerita (working in her own lab, with grad students … Continue reading →
