“This is a designer dog. This is a genetically modified gray wolf,” says Jacquelyn Gill, a paleoecologist at the University of Maine, who has worked with Shapiro in the past but was not involved in this project. “I have more than 14 Neandertal genes in me, and we wouldn’t call me a Neandertal.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-dire-wolf-isnt-back-but-heres-what-de-extinction-tech-can-actually-do/ by @andreatweather.bsky.social
Happy birthday to Canadian 🇨🇦 geneticist Irene Ayako Uchida (1917-2013)! In my #linocut Uchida is shown surrounded by chromosones, with anomalies (shown with pink arrows) due to radiation exposure, based on one of her research papers. A strand of DNA is hidden in the image (as her watchband).
Uchida didn’t set out to be a scientist. She was studying English literature at UBC, before she was interned 🧵1/n

This is the main Ancestry console for 23andMe.

23andMe also had various "medical reports", that tell you if you might be at risk for some type of condition.
AFAIK, most of them were based on GWAS. So, not necessarily causative.

23andMe also displays your family-tree at https://you.23andme.com/family/tree/
But, I don't think their's is the nicest visualization for that. So, won't screenshot it.

This is from https://you.23andme.com/family/relatives/ page.
It shows you a list of people who you seem to have a DNA match with, and might be related to.
Although, it can make mistakes. Including about how you are related to the person.
The idea is, you would connect to these people, discuss how you might be related, maybe compare your DNA more closely

This is of the https://you.23andme.com/tools/relatives/map/ page.
This shows a map. On the map is the locations of where the people you are connected to and related to live. Although it only shows people who shared where they live. If they didn't share that information, then they don't show up on the map.

To preserve what 23andMe was like, since it is not clear if it will continue to exist long-term, I am posting some screenshots of it.
This is of the https://you.23andme.com/ page.
This is the console screen you see after you sign-in.

I have long thought that an open-source Genealogical social-network (including a Genetic Genealogy components) would benefit the Genealogy and Genetic Genealogy communities.
It would be straightforward to create it as Fediverse / OpenSocial software — using the same ActivityPub, ActivityStreams, NodeInfo, WebFinger, etc technology that the rest of the Fediverse uses.

23andMe is (also) a social-network.
A social-network that includes both living and deceased people.
Some of this is expressed in the form of a family-tree. But it goes beyond that, as living people can (and do) communicate with each other, too.
And, there is a recommendation system of who to connect, based on if you are potentially related to each other or not.

I am sad at what is now happening to the 23andMe company — that it has filed for bankruptcy, and is being sold.
23andMe holds an important place in the history Genealogy — and in particular Genetic Genealogy.
Although 23andMe had many applications, Genetic Genealogy was by far the most popular usage of it.
I.e., using genetics to understand ones family history.

Whew, genetic information testing, what could possibly go wrong I always thought? I'm glad I never did it.
But if you have been tested by 23andMe, you may want to request that your data be deleted & your sample, if stored, be destroyed.
The company is on the verge of going belly up!

Really fascinating bit of work on #genetics of #Greenland and what it can tell us about the population in the past and present.
It also really demonstrates why it's important to include people from diverse origins in genetic databases, but more importantly, it's also about HOW to include indigenous people in research + how to consider data sovereignty.
Also applicable in #climateScience applications, there's a nice overview here too:
#Mickey17, the new sci-fi movie from Oscar-winning director Bong Joon Ho, starts with the silly premise that you can 3D print copies of "expendable" space travelers. But it's a teachable moment for researchers looking into ways to modify the human body for living more comfortably on other worlds. We delve into that topic on the #FictionScience podcast. https://cosmiclog.com/2025/03/08/how-humans-can-reinvent-themselves-for-life-in-space/ #Space #Entertainment #Movies #Science #Genetics #3dprinting
