CHENNAI: The Chennai police’s cybercrime wing booked a man on Tuesday for threatening actor Vijay Sethupathi’s family over his role in “800”, the biopic on former Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan. The suspect is yet to be traced. The actor has already withdrawn from the film following Muralitharan’s request. After [...]
Netflix billionaire Reed Hastings secretly built a $20 million luxury training camp for teachers in Colorado. Hastings pledged to spend $100 million of his $4.8 billion fortune to reform public schools. Hastings, who has a long-standing interest in public education policy, is one of many billionaires to have poured millions ...
Archaeologists have found over a hundred bone arrow points at the Pleistocene cave site of Fa-Hien Lena in Sri Lanka. The artifacts were used to hunt tree-dwelling animals such as small monkeys and squirrels about 48,000 years ago and represent the earliest known bow-and-arrow technology outside of Africa. Bone projectile ...
AbstractNew technologies and analysis methods are enabling genomic structural variants (SVs) to be detected with ever-increasing accuracy, resolution and comprehensiveness. To help translate these methods to routine research and clinical practice, we developed a sequence-resolved benchmark set for identification of both false-negative and false-positive germline large insertions and deletions. To ...

AbstractWe present Mass Spectrometry-Data Independent Analysis software version 4 (MS-DIAL 4), a comprehensive lipidome atlas with retention time, collision cross-section and tandem mass spectrometry information. We formulated mass spectral fragmentations of lipids across 117 lipid subclasses and included ion mobility tandem mass spectrometry. Using human, murine, algal and plant biological ...
AbstractThe gut microbiome is a malleable microbial community that can remodel in response to various factors, including diet, and contribute to the development of several chronic diseases, including atherosclerosis. We devised an in vitro screening protocol of the mouse gut microbiome to discover molecules that can selectively modify bacterial growth. ...
AbstractCurrent methods can illuminate the genome-wide activity of CRISPR–Cas9 nucleases, but are not easily scalable to the throughput needed to fully understand the principles that govern Cas9 specificity. Here we describe ‘circularization for high-throughput analysis of nuclease genome-wide effects by sequencing’ (CHANGE-seq), a scalable, automatable tagmentation-based method for measuring the ...
More tech giants exit the facial recognition business, fake contact tracing apps are popping up, and the PS5 reveal was impressive but the subsequent memes were even better. Outrage over police brutality has finally convinced Amazon, Microsoft, and IBM to rule out selling facial recognition tech to law enforcement. from ...
