Scientists Are Sequencing the Genome of Every Complex Species on Earth

No Longer an Impossible Task

Until recently, sequencing large genomes took years and many millions of dollars. But there have been tremendous technical advances that now make it possible to sequence and assemble large genomes for a few thousand dollars.

seein new folks that "get" CoSo immediately warms my lil marshy heart...jumpin into threads and mixin it up like we love to โ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ’š

but that's pretty rare...

I joined CoSo way back in the day and didn't "get it" at first...I basically lurked for two months before I really started engaging and gettin the most outta my experience here...and now it's my fave place on the internet...

so, if ya don't quite get it, don't fret...it's different here...and that's A Good Thingโ„ข

Tw's new privacy policy says,

whereas CoSo says,

No data collection here.

Interesting difference, huh?

HiPOD 9 May 2022: Mounds in Western Oxia Colles

These landforms show distinctive variations in Context Camera images, yet are both similar to other buttes in the area which have been observed to have Mawrth Vallis-like stratigraphy. Understanding the connection between these landforms is vital to our knowledge of their formation. Additionally, we can observe any mineralogical differences between the plains and the mounds.

I want to believe people are inherently good, and I think they think they are. I'm just not sure I think they are anymore...I'll get over it...

I find it's also browser-dependent. I still get that message with LibreWolf (hardened Firefox fork) but not official Firefox.

@th3j35t3r Thank you for keeping CoSo a positive experience. Your hard work is very much appreciated.

I am not running an adblocker but I *do* have a pi-hole running as the primary DNS server. Does anyone know if it will cause problems?

Iโ€™m not really here to post much, but I love reading, so social media fills that up for me. Iโ€™ll comment a lot though! Iโ€™m a loyal friend and will support you.

@rdwilson Ok whew I was going to block you but I decided to check first lol

To all the new people a little shell shocked by the immediate greetings of "hello" and "welcome" in response to your first post.. And to those more surprised by how friendly and supportive CoSo is.. We have spent the past five years creating and maintaining a friendly environment of respect, support, compassion, laughter, shared experiences, exchange of knowledge, pets, music, art, books, crafts and hobbies, holidays and recipes.. We are a huge extended . This is our way.

Itโ€™s actually really nice to be here in the morning without someone constantly raging in the timeline @ th3j35t3r you honestly did amazing here. Thank you!

Yay! CoSo is back and my account was successfully migrated. Nice job and a heartfelt thanks for all of the hard work.
