Lindy Briefing

Here's your Lindy Briefing on the DNA headlines:

THE SIGNAL: James Watson, co-discoverer of the DNA double-helix, has died at age 97. Ancient DNA analysis has identified a previously unknown Argentinian lineage persisting for 8,500 years and pathogens likely responsible for the demise of Napoleon's 1812 army during its retreat from Russia.
THE FRICTION: While one study links CDT1 overexpression to DNA damage and cancer, another highlights an RNA editing process potentially contributing to longevity in some animals, suggesting conflicting roles of DNA/RNA processes in aging and disease.
THE NOISE: The headline regarding warming winters causing DNA damage in lizards, while potentially concerning, lacks specific details on the extent or long-term impact, making it difficult to assess its broader significance beyond a specific ecological context.
