NEJM Study: Genetic Anomaly Hidden Behind Late-Onset Common Cerebellar Ataxia

Researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, McGill University and other institutions have found that a well-hidden genetic variation in the FGF14 gene, called DNA tandem repeat expansion, causes a common form of late-onset cerebellar ataxia, a disorder that interferes with coordinated movement. Tandem repeat expansions are only found in 50 conditions, …

How daredevil drones find nearly extinct plants hidden in cliffs

Dec 10 (Reuters) – Ben Nyberg stood on a sharp ridge along Hawaii’s Na Pali coast, his eyes scanning the leafy nooks of nearby red rock ridges. It was quiet, save for the faint hum of a drone flying among flocks of curious white-tailed tropicbirds. Nyberg aimed the drone closer to the opposite ridge, scanning …

The Replication Crisis: Researchers Reveal a Hidden Universe of Uncertainty

Wide variation in results from 73 teams testing the same hypothesis with the same data. The distribution of estimated AMEs across all converged models (n=1,253) includes negative (yellow; in the direction predicted by the given hypothesis the teams were testing), non-zero (grey), or positive (blue) results. using a 95% CI. MEAs are xy-normalized. The y-axis …
