Guest MikeG Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'm not sure that there is any such thing as a pure gene pool. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest believer Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I personally will take the dna study when published to my state representative and senator and ask for legislation protecting Them from us. Little story- told a fella at work about my hobby, classic response "they ain't real." gave him the details and my encounter. He confided in me his dad as a young boy in east Tn saw a big hairy man but no one in his family believed him. His dad is no longer alive, the look in his eyes about his dad being adamant about it but no one believing him is part of what drives me. He will get a copy of Dr. Ketchum's work.

Guest gershake Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 New Ketchum quote: "Yes, believe it or not, we have accomplished more than you can imagine at an insanely high speed. If the public knew all that has been done, they would be amazed at how quickly we accomplished generating this amount of data! So, we have hurried, it just doesn't seem like it to outsiders."

Guest Bipedal Ape Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Well quit with the hype then and tell us the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spurfoot Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 It is likely that delays are not within MSK's control. Instead, I thank her for having done all that has been done so far. Kick back and relax Melba. I have every confidence you acted as rapidly as anyone could expect and all for humane reasons. All of us must wait for other party holdups to dissipate, if ever.

Guest Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Bobby O I expressed the concern about the MK initials because I see sentences lifted from one thread and appearing in other threads or even in other forums, and so that's why I felt a reference to Dr. Ketchum would benefit by a unique set of initials not associated with anyone else we have discussed over the years. Anyways, it's simply a suggestion. Whether it will be adopted by others, I don't know. People have funny ways of inventing nicknames for people frequently discussed, and sometimes they catch on, sometimes they fade into obscurity. Seems I recall somewhere in this forum a question posed by somebody about who some initials were referring to, and so other members posted lists of common initials referencing people well known in the research effort. there weren't any duplications or ambiguity. Bill I agree, the first few times I saw MK I automatically thought of MK Davis, how about Dr K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Sasky: Dr K certainly works for me. Thanks for the suggestion. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) I don't think you will stop the MK transfer to Melba...esp since it's in context. And as her star rises higher, MK Davis may adopt MKD, and Dr.K works..or DMK....I am pretty lazy about typing....so yeah I am all for initials...

southernyahoo Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Well quit with the hype then and tell us the results. There is no hype, just folks clamoring over a science project and offering pages of conjectural speculation on forums and blogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indiefoot Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hmmmm.... what should take a long time, got done surprisingly quickly, and would provide tons of data? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest slimwitless Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hmmmm.... what should take a long time, got done surprisingly quickly, and would provide tons of data? If I were a betting man and there was a prediction market on Intrade, I'd wager complete genome sequencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 ^ Or perhaps attaining a type-specimen to go along with a complete genome sequencing? One can dream... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 (edited) I have been told enough about it, to know,given the opportunity, and the funding,a complete genome sequence would certainly be ideal,but just key gene sequences would do, along with a full mitochondrial genome.

Sasfooty Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Too bad that this little item just became available. I'm not sure what it is, but it looks like a time saver. http://www.nanoporetech.com/news/press-releases/view/39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
