NHGRI aims to make DNA sequencing faster, more cost effective

... This team of investigators has developed a fully automated instrument capable of sequencing single molecules of DNA on a planar surface. The group is now developing a high-throughput version of this technology for the re-sequencing of whole human genomes. The sequencing strategy involves obtaining short read...

Using dental X-rays to detect osteoporosis

.... van der Stelt and his team developed the largely automated approach to detecting the disease during a three-y...he BMD measurements. The image analysis can be automated and does not require extra time on the part of the dentist. The newly developed technique means that...

Study shows hope for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's

...? The researchers employed signal processing and automated neural network analysis of event related potentials (ERPs) of the EEG signals, monitoring how the patients?brains reacted to a series of auditory stimuli. Clark’s team conducted neuropsychological tests, including memory tests, of research subject...

Do fruit flies have free will?

...errors in a complex brain." Using a combination of automated behavior recording and sophisticated mathematical analyses, the international team of researchers showed for the first time that such variability cannot be due to simple random events but is generated spontaneously and non-randomly by the brain. Thes...

Decoding protein structures helps illuminate cause of diabetes

... now simplified and speeded up the process with an automated version of the 2-D IR technique. As described in ...take pictures of them," says Zanni. Without their automated method, he says, such experiments would be nearly impossible. The technique also has potential ap...

Dinosaur hearing, listening to muscle noise, quieter cubicles

...sound waves. Signal-processing algorithms provide automated detection, tracking, and classification of moving objects such as swimmers. The SDSN is already available commercially for wide-scale deployment (2pEA1). Two papers presented by scientists from Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken (papers 2aEA4 a...

DOE JGI sets 'gold standard' for metagenomic data analysis

...choose efficient strategies for the development of automated methods for high-throughput metagenome analysis. And last, but not least, it will stimulate the development of new computational tools and approaches for studies of microbial communities." In a shotgun sequencing process, the DNA from the microbia...
