New study says dogs can ‘see’ with their noses
Dogs have always been well known for their ability to identify and track scents. A new study suggests that extensive connections within the dog’s olfactory pathway are responsible for this. Further, the study posits that dogs can see with their nos.....»»
Prehistoric roots of "cold sore" virus traced through ancient herpes DNA
Ancient genomes from the herpes virus that commonly causes lip sores—and currently infects some 3.7 billion people globally—have been uncovered and sequenced for the first time by an international team of scientists led by the University of Cambr.....»»

Benchmarking eight software tools for de novo genome assembly, including for SARS-CoV-2
A new study compares and assesses eight de novo genome assembly software tools on actual viral next-generation sequencing data. The study, which includes the whole genome sequence data of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is published in OM.....»»
Omnipotence City is "Thor: Love and Thunder"s biggest wasted opportunity
I have several issues with Thor: Love and Thunder, but the biggest by far is the wasted potential of the Omnipotence City fight. What could have been a badass brawl was instead reduced to a run-of-the-mill action sequence, leaving me craving much, mu.....»»
Scientists identify DNA "hotspots" that tell zebrafish to change sex in warmer waters
Higher water temperatures induce specific chemical tags at targeted locations on the DNA of embryonic zebrafish. These "epigenetic" changes can then reroute genetic pathways, so that the embryos change sex. This finding, in Frontiers in Cell and Deve.....»»
Strange new phase of matter created in quantum computer acts like it has two time dimensions
By shining a laser pulse sequence inspired by the Fibonacci numbers at atoms inside a quantum computer, physicists have created a remarkable, never-before-seen phase of matter. The phase has the benefits of two time dimensions despite there still bei.....»»
Worms as a model for personalized medicine
Tailoring a person's diet or medicine based on their genomes has been a goal of the medical community for decades, but the strategy has not been widely successful because people metabolize chemicals differently. A drug may work differently for two pa.....»»
