This week’s tips contain quite a range of things, from patent battles to drying tardigrades (probably somebody patented this?). I put in the goat genome again because I like goats. We have precision medicine, and mutants asking to not be discriminated against. Some interesting tools this week too.
Welcome to our Friday feature link collection: SNPpets. During the week we come across a lot of links and reads that we think are interesting, but don’t make it to a blog post. Here they are for your enjoyment…
