ENCODE баттл
Мощнейший баттл, на моей памяти:
http://gbe.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/02/20/gbe.evt028.short?rss=1
Самые крутые выдержки:
"Science stuck to its maximalist guns, and its summary of 2012 repeated the claim that the “functional portion” of the human genome equals 80% (Annonymous 2012)."
"ENCODE chose to bias its results by excessively favoring sensitivity over specificity. In fact, they could have saved millions of dollars and many thousands of research hours by ignoring
selectivity altogether, and proclaiming a priori that 100% of the genome is functional. Not one functional element would have been missed by using this procedure."
"Unfortunately, ENCODE disregarded the rules of scientific interpretation and adopted a position common to many types of theological hermeneutics, whereby every letter in a text is assumed a priori to have a meaning."
"Тhe ENCODE results were predicted by one of its lead authors to necessitate the rewriting of textbooks (Pennisi 2012). We agree, many textbooks dealing with marketing, mass-media hype, and public relations may well have to be rewritten."
"Although we have failed to recruit 436 additional coauthors, we would like to express the hope that Jeremy Renner will accept the title role in the cinematic version of the ENCODE Incongruity."
