If the shortcut is germline similarity, report each property's metric stratified by germline identity, with a plain germline-identity baseline. A model that does not beat that baseline in the low-identity stratum has not learned much biophysics. Cluster-based train/test splits would help too.

At this point, it seems a bit arrogant and unscientific to claim in a study that a patient showing signs of a specific illness known to be caused by both somatic & germline pathogenic mutations cannot have that illness because you couldn't identify said mutation based on your conservative database.

While venture capitalists and rogue researchers like Cathy Tie aim to make heritable genome editing seem ethically appropriate, many scientists and ethicists “fundamentally disagree with germline editing efforts." 1/2

Authors published a paper in Biorxiv, they used GERMLINE in the study. Including #RRIDs will make this less ambiguous.

New in @currentbiology.bsky.social with @scottvedwards.bsky.social! Long-read genomes show that songbird germline-restricted chromosomes (eliminated from body cells) are repeat-rich and packed with intact, expressed LTR-ERVs. Could these viral relics fuel bird diversification? 🐦🧬
