"There is no such thing as #Deltacron," tweeted Krutika Kuppalli, a member of the World Health Organization's COVID-19 technical team at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, on 9 ...January. "#Omicron and #Delta did NOT form a super variant." Omicron doesn't share this mutation, so if any Omicron particles were mixed into the sample owing to contamination, it might make the sequenced spike gene seem to be similar to that in Omicron, says Jeremy Kamil, a virologist at Louisiana State University Health Shreveport. ...GISAID hosts many sequences that have elements seen in other variants, says Thomas Peacock, a virologist at Imperial College London.

...what researchers are calling the first largescale genetic study of human voices has identified mutations in a gene that correlate with higher voice pitch, regardless of a person's sex (R. S. ...Gísladóttir. et al. The human voice is partially shaped by body size and hormones: these factors are often responsible for why female voices tend to have a higher pitch than do male voices. Large-scale genetic studies peering into human voices like this one are "sorely needed", says Julie Miller, a neuroscientist at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
...AstraZeneca funded all six finalists' research. ...a handful of US institutions are experimenting with programmes that introduce students to industry earlier in their careers - often through ...internships. In 2019, the school launched a programme to help doctoral students to get internships at government agencies, non-profit bodies or companies while earning their degree. Internships can provide a sneak peek at the private sector, the variousjob opportunities there and how the skills gained in graduate school can be leveraged in the job market, he says.
In the first genetic study ofany large mammal in the area around Chernobyl, DNA collected from feral dogs living near the power plant today reveals that they are the descendants of dogs that were ...either present at the time of the accident or settled there shortly afterwards1. By comparing the animals' genetic profiles to those of other free-roaming dogs in Eastern Europe, the team found that the canines at the power plant - some ofwhich are related to shepherd breeds - have been isolated from other dog populations for decades. The 1986 accident deposited the deadly radioactive isotope caesium-137 at levels 10-400 times higher near the power plant than in the city of Chernobyl, j ust 15 kilometres away.
