About Our Articles

Public articles on Divergent Genomics are designed to make complex research accessible without overwhelming the reader with extensive citation lists.

Fully referenced research editions will be offered separately through Buy me a coffee as downloadable PDFs. These will include expanded source material, citation trails, and supporting academic references for readers who want to examine the evidence in greater depth.

This model allows the public-facing work to remain readable while also supporting the time, labour, and independent research required to produce fully referenced material.

Preprints

Two of our papers are currently available as preprints. They have been publicly archived and made available for reading and citation, but have not yet completed external peer review. This route is chosen to make the work accessible while developing a broader independent research programme outside institutional infrastructure. Journal submission is a separate and often time-intensive and potentially financially expensive process. The publication strategy is therefore staged: existing preprints remain available as transparent working scholarship, while future major papers are being prepared with peer-review submission in the future.

Autism, or Pathologised Evolution?

This paper re-evaluates autism through ancestral genomic introgression, pharmacogenomics, epigenetics, and a systems neurobiological lens.

Rethinking Folic Acid Fortification

This paper examines folic acid fortification through a pharmacogenomic, biochemical and policy-based lens, with nuanced attention on how unadjusted confounders distorted the data justifying global policy.
