SARS: A Model Disease
November 25, 2007 A new model to predict the spread of emerging diseases has been developed. The model could give healthcare professionals advance warning of the path an emerging disease might take and so might ... > full story -
Are There Rearrangement Hot Spots In The Human Genome?
November 13, 2007 The debate over the validity of genomic rearrangement 'hot spots' has its most recent addition in a new theory put forth by researchers at the UC-San Diego. The study holds that there are indeed ... > full story -
Scientists Successfully Simulate Photosynthesis And Design A Better Leaf
November 11, 2007 Researchers have built a better plant, one that produces more leaves and fruit without needing extra fertilizer. The researchers accomplished this feat using a computer model that mimics the process ... > full story -
From Molecules To The Milky Way: Dealing With The Data Deluge
November 8, 2007 Most people have a few gigabytes of files on their PC. In the next decade, astronomers expect to be processing 10 million gigabytes of data every hour from the Square Kilometre Array ... > full story -
Free Shopping In A Virtual Bazaar Of Gene Regulation Data
October 26, 2007 An international team has opened a virtual bazaar, called PAZAR, which allows biologists to share information about gene regulation through individually managed 'boutiques' (data collections). ... > full story -
New Approach Builds Better Proteins Inside A Computer
October 18, 2007 With the aid of more than 70,000 home computer users throughout the world, researchers have, for the first time, accurately predicted the 3-D structure of a small, naturally occurring globular ... > full story -
Mathematicians Help Unlock Secrets Of The Immune System
October 10, 2007 A group of scientists, led by mathematicians, has taken on the challenge of building a common model of immune responses. Their work will radically improve our understanding of the human immune system ... > full story -
New Model Could Improve Some Drugs' Effectiveness
September 25, 2007 Researchers have developed a computer modeling approach that could improve a class of drugs based on antibodies, molecules key to the immune system. The model can predict structural changes in an ... > full story -
The Emergence Of A Sense Of Orientation
August 31, 2007 Scientists have developed a theoretical model that can explain the emergence of all orientation-specific cells that are known in rats and primates to date. To orient ourselves, we mainly need two ... > full story -
Genetic Phonetics Could Be The Trick To Sounding Out DNA's Meaning
August 21, 2007 Most modern attempts to decipher how portions of genetic code are translated into physical characteristics are akin to a first-grader trying to sound out a word letter by letter -- or, in this case, ... > full story -
Render Smoke And Fog Without Being A Computation Hog
August 14, 2007 Computer scientists have developed a way to generate images like smoke-filled bars, foggy alleys and smog-choked cityscapes without the computational drag and slow speed of previous computer graphics ... > full story
