    Reuters is dying.

    Website traffic has declined by nearly 50% over the past seven months.

    Hurrah Hurrah

    I love math puzzles

    The train left Boston at midnight at 57mph and arrived in Michigan at 1AM, how fast was it going when it got there?

    The new Russian defense minister’s job is to integrate the Russian MIC into the Russian economy better just like he integrated Russia’s economy with China’s economy.
    Nobody is noting this important aspect!

    Yes, let your daughter sleep as much as she wants.
    Listen to her body.
    It is telling you what it wants to get better.
    That is the only cure.
    If you fight it, then the Mono will simply last even longer!

    If it isn’t too hot let her try napping outside in sun or lightly shaded area.

    The quickest way for the Ukrainian government to cause a frontline to collapse, is to position hard core Nazi brigades in the frontlines.
    As soon as the Russians softly say boo, these hard core Nazis will flee because they don’t want to die for their country!
    They want to force the poor cannon fodder bastards to die instead!

    Reconstructing prehistoric viral genomes from Neanderthal sequencing data
    Abstract
    DNA viruses that produce persistent infections have been proposed as potential causes for the extinction of Neanderthals and therefore, the identification of viral genome remnants in Neanderthal sequencing reads is an initial step to address this hypothesis. Here, as proof of concept, we searched for viral remnants in sequencing reads of Neanderthal genome data by mapping to adenovirus, herpesvirus and papillomavirus, which are double stranded DNA viruses that may establish lifelong latency and can, produce persistent infections. The reconstructed ancient viral genomes of adenovirus, herpesvirus and papillomavirus revealed conserved segments, with nucleotide similarity to extant viral genomes, and variable regions in coding regions with substantial divergence to extant close relatives. Sequencing reads mapped to extant viral genomes showed deamination patterns of ancient DNA and that these ancient viral genomes showed divergence consistent with the age of these samples (≈50,000 years) and viral evolutionary rates (10−5 to 10−8 substitutions/site/year). Analysis of random effects shows that the Neanderthal mapping to genomes of extant persistent viruses is above the expected by random similarities of short reads. Also, negative control with a nonpersistent DNA virus does not yield statistically significant assemblies. This work demonstrates the feasibility of identifying viral genome remnants in archaeological samples with signal-to-noise assessment.
