Searching on the title and appending 'filetype:pdf' for Google will often return a preprint or a copy from the authors' institutional website.
As for the content - wow, amazing work. I'm no biotechnologist but this seems like the gateway to an algorithmic approach to medicine. I wonder if it could be turned around to measure intra-cellular processes and send out signals by producing nonreactive chemical tracers...oh yes, it's addressed on page 4.
How long before we see biological botnets? Fascinating stuff.
Or, hypothetically, an unscrupulous person could go to r/scholar, check the right sidebar for the link to libgen, and search by the DOI, which in this case is 10.1016/j.mayocp.2014.12.013 ...but I'm sure nobody here would stoop to such things.
While I appreciate biotech articles being on hacker news, this one is nothing I would expect on the frontage. Three of the authors have interest in the company that makes HD-map. This in combination with being linked as a preprint without peer review makes me look twice. The wording „complete protection“ does the rest.
Does anyone have information if this was ever peer reviewed?
there was veeery recently a bio paper that got pushed to arXiv. I don't have the link, since I saw it float by on a facebook feed, but I will look for it.
is usually pretty effective (and is in this case ;-) ). In CS you'll find a PDF hosted on the author's home page like 99% percent of the time. Other fields are more spotty, but this approach is still pretty effective.
