Abstract: Short tandem repeats (STRs) are low-entropy regions in the genome, consisting of a short (1-6 bp) unit that is consecutively repeated multiple times. They are known for high mutational instability, due to so-called stutter-mutations, in which the number of units in the run increases or descreases. In particular, STRs with repeat unit length of 1-2 bp are prone to mutate even within several cell divisions. The extremely rapid accumulation of variation makes them interesting phylogenetic markers for retrospective single-cell lineage reconstruction. Here we model their mutational dynamics at the level of individual repeat unit type and then aggregate length variations over many STR loci with the aim of obtaining a very fast ``molecular clock''. We calibrate our model based on several datasets with known lineage structure prepared from cultured cells. We find that the mutational dynamics of STRs are reasonably consistent for a given cell line, but vary among different ones. This suggests that the dynamics are not entirely explained by mutations in caretaker genes, rather, various other factors play a role -- possibly tissue origin and differentiation state. Further data and research is necessary to asses their relative effects.

A message especially for my Canadian male followers out there today, but it applies to all.
If you see a story from a woman calling out the behaviour of a man, believe them. Yes, believe them over the 'bro’, especially when there are multiple corroborating stories.
Don’t feign impartiality.
Don't ignore.
Just believe them, it's not that hard.
It's long past time we do this as the default.
It will make us all better in the long run.
That is all.

Just a little hard-earned wisdom if you've got multiple domains in one config:
You''ll get multiple challenges. Possibly multiple text keys in the same zone. Do *not* run "rndc reload" for each, unless you also update the serial-number in the zone-file multiple times. You only get one reload per serial number! Duh!
Reload once, after the last domain!
😂 "Ratatouille" is my favorite Disney animated film & I NEVER GOT TO RIDE REMY'S RATATOUILLE ADVENTURE at EPCOT. (I only had 2 Multipass reservations & let my son & wife ride while I quietly sat outside)
This was the very 1st time I've ever seen Remy's ride!
