Hello

Is anyone online?

I have a question, if you wouldn't mind

I'm here

Unrelated note can someone recommend a source for the finer differences between co-localization and overlap if there is one? I feel like it has to do with the transformed space

Seriously unrelated note, most of the time I can see where I ether don't know something or just haven't figured it out in a SO question, but this one is driving me insane because I feel like I understand the players involved.

Any pointers there would be awsome

@FaheemMitha While it seems to make more historical statements than biomedical ones, it looks correct

@FaheemMitha where there specific issues you had?

@AtlLED The part where he talks about a gene that processes fructose more efficiently.

If he isn't just making that up, that should correspond to some concrete work.

Thanks for replying. SE seems unusually dead this weekend. Anything big going on I haven't heard about?

pretty sure they're discussing Uricase

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24550457

@FaheemMitha No idea. So many of my questions, regardless of site, get so little traffic nothing happens on them at all

@AtlLED I was thinking more of the chats.

@AtlLED Thanks.

Ah. IDK, I'm mostly a mobile user, and I find the chats a pain to use on a mobile device. It's a rare moment that I'm working on a write up when I find myself in a chat room. But the sky could be falling outside, my office in the hospital is 2-stories underground and doesn't even pretend to have a way to view the outside

@AtlLED Oh. Where are you located?

I'm on the chats a fair amount, normally.

Not the kind of thing I give out, sorry. If you can put it together from all my posts, hats off

but I have a policy of not making it easy on someone

@AtlLED What, not even the country?

That's carrying caution to extremes.

I only connect to facebook through TOR...

@AtlLED Facebook? Yuck.

which is funny because then all the ads target me to international travel

I hate Facebook.

Hmm, sounds a bit speculative.

@AtlLED I use Debian too. Have used R, though I usually run away from it screaming. (Reading your profile.)

@FaheemMitha Yes I'm pretty sure R has a lib for that

@FaheemMitha Yeah, it comes up in non-apes, so there is some lack of specificity to be sure

but at least it's not total wak-a-science crazy

@AtlLED A lib for what? Running away screaming?

@AtlLED Do humans actually process fructose particularly well compared to other mammals, say?

@AtlLED Fish? I don't follow.

I'm not a certain for other mammals. I'd have to look up more comparative research then I really know about, but I have seen work on mammals in general being better at processing complex sugars. If I have time I can PubMed around if you want to turn it into a real question if I have time I can pubmed around if you wanna turn into a real question, but my guess is you could do that as well

When you just say a very broad term like animal, you gotta realize that runs the gamut from ants to humans

Editing on a mobile phone is so hard

My point was the first all other animals is a hard comparison to make. I chose fish as a random non mammal. Probably could have just as easily said snake

Seriously all day:I click menu, then edit last post, then it says it can't be edited. Tried in 3 browsers

@AtlLED I see. Thanks for the clarifications. There is a Chromium (and maybe Firefox) plugin that helps with editing.
