"Nailed down"?

This headline seems weird to me, but then again, I'm weird. Why am I feeling a Jesus reference? I'm not even Christian. Anyway, it seems an oddly colloquial use of words to summarize a scientific study.

But the important thing is: It's chromosome 2 that's the problem when it comes to suicide attempts. Remember that the next time you're feeling down.
