DNA sequencing is one of today's most critical scientific fields, powering leaps in humanity's understanding of genetic causes of cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and diabetes. One issue facing the ...

SEATTLE and NEW YORK – Genetic counselors are now able to bill for more of the time spent on providing services to patients with the adoption earlier this year of a new Current Procedural Terminology ...

Sequencing has filled global archives with vast DNA and RNA reads, but finding signals in that noise has remained out of reach. ETH Zurich’s MetaGraph turns raw sequences into a compressed, full-text ...

This work aims at developing a genetic algorithm (GA) to pursue the optimization of hybrid laminated composite structures. Fiber orientation (predefined ply angles), material (glass-epoxy or ...

Abstract: In this paper, flow shop scheduling problem (FSSP) with parallel machine and special procedure constraint is studied. The scheduling objective is to minimize the makespan, and a genetic ...

Abstract: Bit-flipping (BF) is a very simple algorithm for decoding linear block codes. For the BF to achieve high performances of belief-propagation (BP) algorithms, which are far more complex, we ...

Researchers have used the jellyfish search algorithm to optimize solar PV distributed generation placement and sizing. They have tested the algorithm on an IEEE 33-bus system, with one, two, or three ...

Background: Brachydactyly type E (BDE) is characterized by variable shortening of metacarpals or metatarsals, often involving phalanges. It may occur as an isolated anomaly or as part of congenital ...
