Q&A: Algorithm achieves near end-to-end genome assembly without ultra-long DNA sequencing

Haoyu Cheng, Ph.D., assistant professor of biomedical informatics and data science at Yale School of Medicine, has developed a new algorithm capable of building complete human genomes using standard ...

Cell division spindles self-organize like active liquid crystals—a theory that holds up

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

Threads’ new ‘Dear Algo’ feature lets you tell the algorithm what you want to see

To use the feature in a public post, type “Dear Algo” and then a description of what you want Threads’ algorithm to show you more of. Once you make your request, the change will stick for three days ...
