"PopDel" detects deletions in our genomes
The human genome contains roughly three million letters and is distributed over 46 chromosomes. Yet the genetic variation from person to person is very small: the genome sequences of any two people differ from each other by about one in every 1,000 l.....»»

Webb Space Telescope detects universe"s most distant complex organic molecules
Researchers have detected complex organic molecules in a galaxy more than 12 billion light-years away from Earth—the most distant galaxy in which these molecules are now known to exist. Thanks to the capabilities of the recently launched James Webb.....»»
A not-so-selfish "genetic parasite" helps to preserve fertility
Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequences are essential parts of many species' genomes. The highly repetitive nature of these DNA sequences makes them susceptible to shrinkage over time—and if they shrink too much, cells die. If rDNA shrinks too much in germ.....»»
Topologically structured light detects the position of nano-objects with atomic resolution
Optical imaging and metrology techniques are key tools for research rooted in biology, medicine and nanotechnology. While these techniques have recently become increasingly advanced, the resolutions they achieve are still significantly lower than tho.....»»
Reading chemicals inside the brain with an aptamer/microelectronic fiber combination
A research group has developed a neural device that detects specific neurotransmitters in the brain with high sensitivity and selectivity by combining multifunctional fibers and DNA molecular probes. Details of the research were published in the jour.....»»
New study detects inaudible sounds of volcanic mudflows
A study published in Scientific Reports shows that catastrophic volcanic mudflows, known as lahars, can be effectively monitored with infrasound remote sensing technology......»»

Aqua Security added pipeline integrity scanning to prevent software supply chain attacks and assure CI/CD pipeline integrity. Powered by eBPF technology, Aqua’s pipeline integrity scanner detects and blocks suspicious behaviour and malware in real.....»»
"Sayonara" gene: Scientists uncover a protein in fruit flies that many textbooks say shouldn"t exist
RIKEN geneticists have uncovered a protein in fruit flies that many textbooks say doesn't exist. The protein detects stress in cells and sets them on a pathway to self-destruction when they are overly stressed......»»
Reconstructing ancient bacterial genomes can revive previously unknown molecules, a potential source for new antibiotics
Microorganisms—in particular bacteria—are skillful chemists that can produce an impressive diversity of chemical compounds known as natural products. These metabolites provide the microbes major evolutionary advantages, such as allowing them to i.....»»
Amazon Inspector allows search of its vulnerability intelligence database
Amazon Inspector is designed to manage vulnerabilities by continuously scanning your AWS workloads for software vulnerabilities and unintended network exposure across your entire organization. Upon activation, Amazon Inspector automatically detects a.....»»
James Webb detects water vapor in rocky planet’s atmosphere — maybe
Water vapor was spotted near the rocky exoplanet GJ 486 b. That could indicate the presence of water in its atmosphere, or it could also be from another source......»»
Prevalence of transposable elements may provide clues to worldwide mammal biodiversity
An international scientific project that compares the genomes of 240 living species of mammals has identified transposable elements (TEs)—genes that can change their position within a genome, creating or reversing mutations and thus altering a cell.....»»
Researchers use genomes of 241 species to redefine mammalian tree of life
Research led by a team of scientists from the Texas A&M School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences puts to bed the heated scientific debate regarding the history of mammal diversification as it relates to the extinction of the non-avian di.....»»
Machine learning helps scientists identify the environmental preferences of microbes
Researchers have figured out a way to predict bacteria's environmental pH preferences from a quick look at their genomes, using machine learning. Led by experts at the University of Colorado Boulder, the new approach promises to help guide ecological.....»»
