Classic recessive-or-dominant gene dynamics may not be so simple

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-20 09:52:21

In brief A new Stanford study explores how fruit fly populations maintain genetic diversity amid changing environments, which is crucial for survival against future challenges. The research provides direct evidence to support the theory of “dominance reversal” in genetics. Findings indicate that genetic variants can act as dominant or recessive based on environmental conditions – which gives the flies long-term pesticide resistance. Populations live in rapidly changing environments – droughts

The Math of Catastrophe

news.ycombinator.com Gregory Barber 2025-09-20 12:34:58

In the 1960s, the Soviet climatologist and mathematician Mikhail Budyko set out to investigate the potential future of a planet on the brink of nuclear Armageddon. He started by looking some 600 million years into the past. Back then, some scientists claimed, the ancient planet was an iced-over snowball. Most researchers considered that a crackpot theory.

The Rise and Fall of the British Detective Novel (2010)

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-09-17 16:18:18

Between around 1910 and 1950, England was in the grip of a genteel crime wave; a seemingly endless output of murder mysteries, generally set among the upper and upper middle classes and usually solved by a brilliant amateur detective rather than by the police. They were read enthusiastically and with an insatiable appetite by British middle-class readers. The ‘golden age’ of the English detective story during this span of 40 years or so is an important and often overlooked feature of English pop

A federal vaccine advisory committee made up of members hand-picked by Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recommended in an 8-3 vote on Thursday that the combined measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) vaccine should not be given before age 4, citing long-known evidence that shows a slightly increased risk for febrile seizures in that age group.

I’ve Spent Thousands of Hours Testing the Best 3D Printers. There Are Some Clear Winners

This 3D printer is excellent, with fast, quality printing at a great price. Adding the AMS Lite elevates it to the best printer you can buy right now. Plus, its four-color printing capability for less than $700 is such a good deal; I'm still baffled by how the company pulls off that pricing.

How robotic beehives use AI to protect bees from climate change

Bees are critical for ensuring an abundant food supply year-round, but the bee population is in big trouble. More than one-third of the crops we eat are pollinated by bees, but 40% of bee colonies are collapsing each year, California-based Beewise said. One reason is climate change – specifically, stronger hurricanes, more frequent fires and the use of more pesticides. The wooden beehive was invented around 1850 for commercial pollination, but these basic boxes are not very protective and not
