Wird sie auch nicht, das steht lange vorher fest. Ausserdem warum wuerde man den Preis geben nur weil ein Zettel unterschrieben wurde. Es kann gut sein dass Israel am Samstag schon wieder bombadiert oder die Hamas Geiseln erschiest.

Das ist seit Kissinger so.

Ich stimme ihnen ja zu. Aber hier mal drei Beispiele wer den Friedensnobelpreis auch bekommen hat: Arafat, ein Terrorist. Kissinger, einer der groessten Kriegstreiber des 20sten Jahrhunderts. Obama, "wos wor jetzt mei Leistung". Den Preis kann keiner Ernst nehmen.

Was wikipedia sagt: “Novoselov was the youngest Nobel laureate in physics since Brian Josephson in 1973, and in any field since Rigoberta Menchú (Peace) in 1992.”

Ausnahmen bestätigen die Regel ;) Konstantin Novoselov war 35 als er 2010 den Nobelpreis fuer seine Graphen Experimente bekam.

Congrats Julie!

PubMed is in trouble

This is beyond bad for medical research

Obwohl natürlich auch mal ein blindes Hund ein Korn finden kann gehe ich grundsätzlich davon aus, dass alles wogegen die FPOe wettert zu befürworten ist. Und in der Regel, je lautet sie kreischt, desto Unterstützung würdiger.

Oh it is. It was more tongue in cheek. But I do think arguments can be made for a two domain tree of life :)

According to this sheet red blood cells are prokaryotes because they lack a nucleus.

Wish I could be there for archaea specific meetings ;(

Second domain? Eukarya no more?!

I said it before and say it again. For every person who does metagenomics, we need 100 people who are doing the experimental work to test all the hypotheses raised by genomics.

I agree, there’s enough metagenomics data around to keep experimentalists busy for the next hundred years or more ;)

They'd pay a company to sequence and withhold the data from NCBI as long as possible. So I think your example is mostly theoretical.

I am not saying that the latter example is theoretically impossible but I assume that a person who doesn't want people to have access to "their" data wouldn't put them on a server before publication and they wouldn't work with a public sequencing center like JGI in the 1st place.

As I said before in this thread, there's no way to enforce it. More importantly, we ask for contacting the creators ONLY if the dataset has no associated publication. Personally, I think this should just be common courtesy. I don't see it as a problem to ask if my analyses would scoop another person

Why do you think this creates a gatekeeping problem?

Even if this would be mainly a JGI problem, which is it is not, the fact is that a lot of sequencing data these days is generated by them. And because everyone in the world can use their sequencing facilities Everyone is affected.
