UC San Diego partners with Venter Institute to build marine microbial genomics cyberinfrastructure

...d tools to explore data and visualization tools to interpret the results. The second group comprises bioinformatics experts with their own tools and programming. CAMERA will encourage this later group to contribute their software analysis tools, thus engaging the broader community in strengthening this interna...

UC Riverside psychologist explores human perception, finds 'wow factor'

...es, rather than the mental processes by which they interpret it, he said. "One thing these projects all have in common is the 'wow factor,'" Rosenblum said of his work in audio speech, visual speech and face recognition.Test subjects routinely glean more information than they expect from faces."We all read li...

Chemical signaling helps regulate sensory map formation in the brain

... to their target, the structures in the brain that interpret information from the eyes. "Without an orderly and faithful connection," said Zou, "information from the eyes could not be properly deciphered by the brain." "Topographic maps are a very common wiring strategy in our brains," he said. Similar sys...

Chimpanzees can transmit cultural behavior to multiple 'generations'

...nes for AIDS and malaria; treat cocaine addiction; interpret brain activity through imaging; increase understanding of progressive illnesses such as Parkinson's and Alzheimers; unlock the secrets of memory; determine behavioral effects of hormone replacement therapy; address vision disorders; and advance knowl...

Creating a window on 'oceans in motion'

...entists and government officials who will collect, interpret and use the data, and technology experts who have made it possible to follow the migration of these animals, often in near real-time. The meeting will help determine priority species for tracking ?from salmon to whales and from polar bears to pengui...

Rehydrate -- your RNA needs it

...ith parts of the ribozyme molecule. "The way we interpret the data is that in ribozymes, a chemical modification introduced at one place changes the local structure slightly," Walter said. The building blocks making up the ribozyme wiggle into different positions and in the process must let go of some hydro...

FSU biologists uncover mechanisms that shape cells for better or worse

...eurons in the brain are designed, or polarized, to interpret information from the sense organs, and intestinal cells are polarized to take up nutrients and move them into the bloodstream," he said. Poulton explained that in order to ensure cell polarity in the Drosophila oocyte, the cells surrounding it acti...

Scientists solve sour taste proteins

... the brain -- that is, exactly how the brain would interpret the signals coming from the tongue to tell the difference between lemons and lemonade," Matsunami said. Future experiments using live animals as test models will be needed to answer remaining questions about taste sensation, he said. ...

Researchers discover how bacteria sense their environments

... it must use many different receptors to sense and interpret everything around it. Bacteria can sense in their environments changes in molecular concentrations as small as 0.1 percent, the equivalent of one drop diluted in a pool of a 1,000 drops. How do they do it? New Cornell research, highlighted on the...

Second opinion yields treatment changes for half of patients

...dies have documented variation in how radiologists interpret mammograms. Those who specialize in breast imaging tend to detect more abnormalities. In addition, a dedicated breast pathologist can make a difference in how the cancer is staged, which in turn can affect treatment recommendations. In this study,...

Hard-wiring the fruit fly's visual system

...ally programmed. "We have to be careful when we interpret these results in light of the complexity of the human brain," said Bellen. However, he said, "It is astonishing though how only a few thousand genes can program billions of synaptic connections." ...

New dyslexia theory blames 'noise'

...onance imaging trials. Lu and his collaborators interpret the new results as a rejection of the "magnocellular hypothesis" - named for a type of neuron involved in processing fast visual information - that influenced dyslexia research for decades. The researchers found that the magnocellular pathway wor...

Designer babies - what would you do for a 'healthy' baby?

...epared to go to improve their children's IQ. Women interpret certain interventions in child rearing as "design acts" more readily than men. People over 50 interpret certain interventions as "design acts" more readily than people under 25. Because of "parental uncer...

White blood cells of cancer-resistant mice overwhelm natural defenses of cancer cells

...istant mouse changes the white blood cells so they interpret those same signals from the cancer cells as an invitation to attack. "Identifying the mutated gene (or genes) will likely explain this unique resistance to cancer through immunity," said Cui, associate professor of pathology. Earlier this year, t...

'The eyes have it' -- Autism research yields surprising results

Autistic children are able to interpret the mental state of others by looking at their eye...ttingham found that autistic children were able to interpret mental states when looking at animated facial expressions. The findings also suggest that the use of...

Protein fragments sequenced in 68 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus rex

.... He now faced his second challenge, namely, to interpret the amino acid sequences. Normally, when a sequence comes out of a mass spectrometer, it is compared to a database of existing amino acid sequences. Collagen is a highly conserved protein, so it was highly likely that some of the dinosaur peptide seq...

Fitness has fallen since the days of Ancient Greece

...lassics at Royal Holloway, University of London to interpret the details of the endurance of the ancient rowers from classical texts. Many of these texts were originally collected and used to estimate sustainable ship speeds in The Athenian Trireme (CUP, 2rd edition 2000), which Professor Rankov co-authored. ...

Natural antibiotics yield secrets to atom-level imaging technique

...e obtain from solid-state NMR spectroscopy to help interpret biological functions," Ramamoorthy said. The work is highly interdisciplinary, involving not only Ramamoorthy's lab and several other groups in the Chemistry Department, but also researchers from the College of Engineering, the School of Dentistry, t...

Peanut allergies overstated, study finds

... irrelevant." Allergy practitioners may need to interpret results of allergy tests in the context of their own practices, the researchers found. "If there is a positive result, people need to ask whether it might be worth a peanut challenge in a hospital environment, especially if their child has never h...
