Picking particles faster than one at a time
Computer scientists and biologists at the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have developed software that can select tens of thousands of high-quality images of biological molecules from electron microgaphs, rapidly and automatically, with accuracy approaching that of experienced human analysts. The new algorithm, described as "particle picking by segmentation,"...Picking apart how neurons learn
Johns Hopkins researchers have used mouse mutants to define critical steps involved in learning basic motor skills. The study focuses on the behavior of two proteins and the specific steps they take to control a neuron's ability to learn by adapting to signals from other nerve cells. The findings, published in the March 16 issue of Neuron, pull together a growing body of evidence from the...VersArray ChipWriter Pro System With Colony-Picking Capabilities, 110-120 V from Bio-Rad
Description:The VersArray ChipWriter Pro system with colony-picking capabilities, 110-120 V, uses floating pin printing technology to array DNA, proteins, oligonucleotides, carbohydrates, lipids, and other biomolecules onto a variety of substrates for microarray applications. This system can also be used for picking colonies as small as 300 micrometers in diameter and for inoculating 96- or 384-well micropla...Picking Vista sure seemed like a good idea at the time
learning curve for the last two weeks, and I'm just plain worn out. Productivity is in the basement. Frustration has reached all-time highs, and all I'm trying to do is write a column,...‘Radiation Overdose Girl’ Is Picking Up the Threads of Her Lie
A schoolgirl is recovering well, after a cancer unit administered a potentially deadly radiation overdose .Lisa Norris, is trying to re-build her life, and is currently receiving specialist oxygen treatment. // She has re-joined school and will be celebrating her 16th birthday soon. Lisa Norris from Girvan in Ayrshire, in a case of human error, was administered a radiation overdose 1...
