    Maybe at some point we’ll have version control for all DNA mapping so each minor change is a commit hash and each major release is a tag

      We do, the major versions have tag releases like mm7, mm8, mm9, etc. as defined by the current build, and minor patch releases too like mm10p14 as new sequences come in.

      https://hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu/goldenpath/mm10/bigZips/

      Example, say you have 5 sequences: CAT, ATC, ATCG, CGT, and ATATA.

      One way of combining them up together to build a transcriptome is like this:

      5 sequences:     ATATA
                     CG-T  ATC
                   ATCG CAT
      
        Reference: ATCGATATATC
      

      ATCGATATATC isn’t the only solution to these sequences, but as you get more sequences to try and overlap, the more the uncertainty goes down

      Ignoring capitalisation you can add as many buffalos as you like and still be parsable. I’ve only ever heard buffalo used as a verb in this one context, though, so seems a bit forced to me

        The scuttlebutt is that buffalo as a verb was only attested very briefly in upstate New York and the Midwest for a brief period of time in the early 1900s. It never spread nationally, and definitely not internationally.

        However, checking Google ngrams shows that “he buffaloed” and “was buffaloed”, (to ensure it’s being used idiomatically as a verb and not just in the famous example sentence) emerged in 1900, peaked in the 1950s, but has sustained small but constant use in published print since then. I was actually expecting the ngram to rapidly drop off and never recover… shocked to see that some people still use it as a real phrase.

    Zoologists were all “we need the type species of every genus to have the generic epithet” and then someone raised their hand and yelled “what about subspecies?” and they went “screw it, same rule applies for subspecies” and then it turns out the whole thing was a just a prank on Thomas Savage because it’s not like anyone was about to rename humans to Homo homo

        Not that I’ve heard of. Now, whether Homo sapiens idaltu is a real separate species from Homo sapiens sapiens is disputed, so there’s a question as to whether the second sapiens actually differentiates us from anything… but I haven’t seen any signs of any consensus against calling ourselves Homo sapiens sapiens to date.
