    New Study Addresses a Long-Standing Diversity Bias in Human Genetics

    While the 731 individuals span 26 different groups across five continents, the scientists found that gene expression patterns are often shared between groups, a phenomenon also observed in patterns of DNA variation. Most of the differences in gene expression were seen within populations rather than between them.

    “The distribution of our diversity is more complex than these geographically, politically, or socially defined labels,” McCoy said.

    The cohort’s diversity allowed the scientists to spot possible connections between mutations and specific traits and health risks, including for mutations limited to subsets of populations that have previously gone unexamined, he said.

    Baby camels identified as key factor in animal to human MERS virus transmission

    Research led by the Royal Veterinary College in collaboration with colleagues in London, the USA and Jordan revealed that affectionate treatment of the animals increases the risk of catching Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) after contracting the virus.

    Kissing and petting highly prized young animals is common practice among many camel-owning communities in the Middle East. Their size means their muzzles are close to human head height, with feeding and watering crowds of camels also a high risk, as individuals come into close proximity with the animals’ breath and mouth secretions.

    He admitted: “We were surprised but very pleased by the effectiveness of machine learning to tackle this task.” Current procedure involves pathologists examining tissue samples taken from cancer patients on microscope slides under a microscope with their observations helping determine patient treatment and assessing chances of recovery.

    Three ways AI is changing the 2024 Olympics for athletes and fans

    When more than 10,000 athletes from around 200 countries gather in Paris for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games this week, they will have an all-new friendly — but faceless — voice to greet and guide them.

    How do I reach my sporting venue? Can I livestream the opening ceremony? Will there be a computer refereeing my games? Where can I get freebies from sponsors?

    These are just some of the questions that athletes will be able to ask AthleteGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot designed for them, accessible through the Athlete365 mobile app. It’ll be able to scour through “thousands of information pages very quickly, and be available 24/7 to answer questions”, says Todd Harple, the Olympics AI Innovation programme lead at Intel Labs in Hillsboro, Oregon, who is involved with the effort.

    In the realm of laboratory equipment, even the smallest components can significantly impact experimental outcomes. One such crucial component is the pipette tip. Often overlooked, the type of pipette tip used can influence the accuracy, precision and integrity of experimental results. Among the choices available, two main types stand out: Ordinary and Filtered pipette tips. Understanding their differences and when to use each is essential for any researcher striving for reliable and reproducible data.
