This may disappoint some people who've invested heavily in particular variants of beyond-the-Standard-Model physics, but understanding the Universe better is good news for physicists everywhere.
Facebook is also offering limited-time Halloween variants of its beyond-the-Like-button emoji Reactions, like a laughing witch instead of the Haha reaction, a Wowed ghost, sad Frankenstein and a mad jack'o'lantern.
If you're writing in Australian English for an American website that doesn't permit spelling variants beyond those used in the United States, then you'll need to brush up on your American grammar unless you want to upset the editor constantly (you don't want to do that!).
However, when considering genetic variants beyond those that are reasonably well-studied, the level of scientific evidence to support the choice of any particular polymorphism is extremely weak or non-existent.
Interestingly, even though ontogeny was discussed in a few of these evaluations [3] [8], it was not considered an important variant beyond the relative inflation of the dome, apparently because of the relatively similar sizes of the different individuals from time-equivalent strata.
With the sample sizes generated by these large mega-biobanks, in combination with the rapid development of large publically available functional data, for common variants we may have moved beyond the era where strict statistical replication via GWAS is always required for publication, and additional sources of information may be taken into account when prioritizing loci for further study.
Despite the structural variations in these enzymes, there were no chemical changes in the major anthocyanin pigments (pelargonidin, cyanidin, and delphinidin) after the monocot/eudicot split, even though we eventually see more anthocyanin variants evolve beyond the major ones (Grotewold 2006).
Although the interpretation of pharmacogenomic (PGx) variants is beyond the scope of this document, we include a discussion of the challenges and distinctions associated with the interpretation and reporting of PGx results.
