TUCSON, Ariz. — Investigators looking to track down Nancy Guthrie’s suspected kidnappers are turning to a relatively new technology that has been attributed to solving some of the most prolific ...

Certain genetic traits can significantly influence an athlete’s performance. For example, variants of the erythropoietin gene that lead to increased red blood cell production — and therefore greater ...

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human genome have a clear influence on which bacteria are in the gut and what they do ...

This repository provides code and workflows to test several state-of-the-art vehicle detection deep learning algorithms —including YOLOX, SalsaNext, RandLA-Net, and VoxelRCNN— on a Flash Lidar dataset ...

People from the Outer Hebrides and north-west Ireland have the highest risk of developing a genetic disease that causes a dangerous build-up of iron in the body, a study published in the journal ...

For decades, most control efforts to manage insects that damage crops, affect livestock production or transmit diseases to people depended on insecticides. However, growing concerns about their risks ...

Bowel habits aren't exactly dinner-table talk. But they reflect how quickly the gut moves things along, and when that goes wrong, people can experience constipation, diarrhea, or irritable bowel ...

A sweeping new study of psychiatric and genetic records has the potential to change treatment for millions of psychiatric patients, finding that many conditions involve similar genes and may not need ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it takes for cells to behave in desired ways—for example, getting them to produce ...

In a first, scientists have extracted DNA from a Renaissance-era drawing attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, but they can't be sure that the genetic material belongs to the Italian polymath. When you ...

We use heuristics to solve computationally difficult problems where optimal solutions are too expensive to deploy, hard to manage, or otherwise inefficient. Our prior work, MetaOpt, shows many of the ...

A large Mayo Clinic study shows that current guidelines fail to detect nearly 90% of people with familial hypercholesterolemia, a common inherited cause of dangerously high cholesterol. Many affected ...
