My habit of seeking out new music began with a few strokes of good luck. I grew up in a college town in the early to mid-nineties, during one of the golden eras of college radio. I spent a significant ...

A study led by the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center (The Institute) has identified a rare genetic variant in the ODAD4 gene that causes primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a ...

The genetic code is the recipe for life, and provides the instructions for how to make proteins, generally using just 20 amino acids. But certain groups of microbes have an expanded genetic code, in ...

DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

Indonesian lawmakers have passed a sweeping revision to the Criminal Procedure Code, which they said would modernize an outdated justice system by speeding up prosecutions and aligning legal ...

ETH Zurich scientists have created “MetaGraph,” a revolutionary DNA search engine that functions like Google for genetic data. By compressing global genomic datasets by a factor of 300, it allows ...

Sequencing has filled global archives with vast DNA and RNA reads, but finding signals in that noise has remained out of reach. ETH Zurich’s MetaGraph turns raw sequences into a compressed, full-text ...

Abstract: This paper presents a MATLAB code for Adaptive Fuzzy Campus Placement based Optimization Algorithm (AFCPOA), a novel approach designed to address the solutions to single and multi-objective ...

In a giant feat of genetic engineering, scientists have created bacteria that make proteins in a radically different way than all natural species do. By Carl Zimmer At the heart of all life is a code.

Liquid culture flasks of bacteria grown in yellow broth covered with tinfoil on a shaker. Bacterial strains needed to be tested every step of the way to create the highly compressed genome. Credit: ...
