A novel STR panel for human protein-coding genes To explore STR mutations in CRC, we first annotated STRs in the introns, exons, and promoter sequence of all protein-coding genes in the GRCh38 reference genome (“Methods”). We discarded STR loci for which genotyping was expected to be inaccurate due to genomic…

MOST people will primarily associate protein with its role as a major food group. But at a cellular level, there are millions of possible proteins: they are large, complex molecules that play crucial roles in biochemical processes. A single protein molecule is made up of amino acids linked together in…

In this issue of Blood, Zhou et al reveal the role of KLHL6 inactivation in chemoresistance in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).1 KLH6 is a cullin-ring ubiquitin type 3 ligase and a central player in the ubiquitin proteasome system, a cellular system that targets proteins for subsequent degradation, thereby limiting their…

Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) What is Genetically Modified Organism (GMO)? About: A genetically modified organism (GMO) refers to an entity, whether it’s an animal, plant, or microorganism, that has undergone modifications to its DNA using genetic engineering methods. Across generations, specific traits have been cultivated in crops…

Hi! I’m implementing the original DeepFont paper in PyTorch (several modified versions can be found implemented in Keras). Unfortunately, despite my attempts, I’m unable to make the model converge. I’ve tried to debug the model issue by inducing it to overfit on a small dataset: unfortunately, this didn’t work either….

Have you ever gazed up at the sky, watching those mesmerizing white trails left behind by airplanes? These are contrails, short for condensation trails and, believe it or not, they pack quite a punch when it comes to affecting our planet. In fact, the fluffy lines contribute to around 50%…

Cyberes September 7, 2023, 6:09am 1 I’m working on compiling PyTorch in my Dockerfile and running into a strange issue where the compiled libtorch.so only contains 4 symbols: ~ $ nm -D /opt/conda/lib/python3.9/site-packages/torch/lib/libtorch.so w _ITM_deregisterTMCloneTable w _ITM_registerTMCloneTable w __cxa_finalize w __gmon_start__ Compare that to the libtorch.so from pip: U __cxa_allocate_exception…

PyTorch, an open-source machine learning library based on the Torch library, is a powerful tool used for applications such as computer vision and natural language processing. It’s primarily developed by Facebook’s AI Research lab and has gained significant traction in the research community due to its flexibility and intuitive interface….

Tyynismaa H, Ylikallio E, Patel M, Molnar MJ, Haller RG, Suomalainen A A heterozygous truncating mutation in RRM2B causes autosomal-dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia with multiple mtDNA deletions. Am J Hum Genet. 2009 Aug;85(2):290-5. doi: 10.1016/j.ajhg.2009.07.009. Epub 2009 Aug 6. Autosomal-dominant progressive external ophthalmoplegia (adPEO) is a mitochondrial disorder that is…

Electroporation has transformed the way in which scientists work, allowing the delivery of genetic material, proteins, drugs or other molecules into mammalian, insect, fungal, plant and bacterial cells. Nevertheless, as with all laboratory techniques, it is not without its fair share of pitfalls and disappointments.   Therefore, it is important…

3D printing is capturing attention in the field of medicine of late. With the first 3D-printed drug being approved for the treatment of seizures, eight years ago, it was a consequential moment in healthcare, following which biotechs raced to step up personalized treatment. Now, with Chinese healthcare company Triastek turning…

This article delves deep into the current shipping policies and trends among these seed banks, providing a panoramic understanding of the seed distribution landscape. In recent years, the cannabis industry has burgeoned, primarily due to changing regulations, scientific research, and shifting societal attitudes. One subset of the cannabis industry that…

Here, we present light-induced dielectrophoresis as a label-free approach for characterizing heterogeneous cell lines, specifically human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). This paper describes a protocol for using and optimizing a microfluidic device with a photoconductive layer to characterize the electrical behavior of hMSCs without altering their native state. This light-induced…

Introduction Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD, OMIM#310200) is a severe X-linked recessive, inherited neuromuscular disorder, characterized by rapidly progressive muscle weakness and muscle wasting throughout the body.1 DMD is more common in males than females, with an incidence rate of 1:5000 and 1:50,000,000, respectively.2 Female heterozygotes theoretically have 50% normal cells…

NEW YORK – At-home gut microbiome testing is a burgeoning branch of the overall genetic testing field, but consumers may be buying tests that offer little useful information at best and disinformation at worst. As genetic testing in general gains broader consumer acceptance, and the link between gut microbe composition…

Organoids have now been created from stem cells to secrete the proteins that form dental enamel, the substance that protects teeth from damage and decay. A multi-disciplinary team of scientists from the University of Washington in Seattle led this effort. “This is a critical first step to our long-term goal…
