From our reanalyses, the 2D trees in which Eukarya emerge from asgards are biased by several pitfalls and by the existence of lateral gene transfer from proto-eukarya to asgards. See our review in Da Cunha et al., 2022 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ml…

🚨 New in mLife! @wileymicrobio Most bacteria & archaea don’t have poly(A) tails, so poly(A)-selected RNA‑seq barely captures their transcripts. ❌ Using it to profile microbiomes = biased, incomplete & misleading. Want to know how to avoid? 👉onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
Non, Israël ne commet pas de génocide à Gaza (NY Times, 22 juillet 2025) Extraits : « Il peut sembler dur de le dire, mais l'accusation selon laquelle Israël commettrait un génocide à Gaza souffre d’une dissonance flagrante. En effet : si les intentions et les actions du…

"It’s been widely accepted that most nazis who fled Germany after World War II fled to South America, mainly to Argentina, Paraguay, and even Venezuela. But what many don’t realize, and it’s a verifiable fact, is that many of the worst Nazis who were senior members of the SS and…

COVID-19, complotiste ou complotiste ? Au risque de décevoir, je n’adhère pas à la théorie du complot sur le covid 19 échappé du P4 de Wuhan. D’ailleurs la légitimité de ceux qui proposent cette théorie ne m’impressionne guère après avoir expliqué en 2020 que le virus ne mute…

Donald Trump vient d’offrir une bouée de sauvetage à la République islamique, au bord de la chute définitive. Le régime respire. La tyrannie survit. Conscients d’avoir frôlé l'extinction, les Mollahs vont vraisemblablement déchaîner sur le peuple iranien une cruauté inédite.…
Today, we Iranians are faced with something truly unbelievable: Western, liberal, “woke” feminists, clueless about the brutal reality in our country, consistently stand with our oppressors under the delusion of saviorism. They have no understanding of the decades of humiliation,…

Voir la gauche française soutenir le régime des mollah, le nucléaire militaire, le fanatisme religieux et l'oppression des femmes par antisémitisme et anticapitalisme, on savait que c'était possible, mais ça fait quand même bizarre. Ils n'ont rien appris depuis Pol Pot.
