Whole Genome Sequencing Boosts Diagnosis of Rare Disease in Infants
Whole genome sequencing captured almost twice as many genetic abnormalities that may be responsible for disease in infants, compared with a standard targeted test, researchers found. In the Genomic Medicine for Ill Neonates and Infants (GEMINI) study, the diagnostic yield of whole genome sequencing was 49%, compared with 27% with NewbornDx, a standard targeted gene […]
Opinion | What Led to Amazon’s Big Bet on Primary Care?
The news of Amazon’s acquisition of One Medical captured mainstream media attention, shaking the healthcare and tech industries along the way. This deal is perceived to be so transcendent and disruptive that reaction to the news is still reverberating. There has been a flurry of commentary on what Amazon intends to do with One Medical, […]
Physicists announce first results from The Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment’s final dataset
Over nearly nine years, the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment captured an unprecedented five and a half million interactions from subatomic particles called neutrinos. Now, the international team of physicists of the Daya Bay collaboration has reported the first result from the experiment’s full dataset — the most precise measurement yet of theta13, a key […]
Sidewinding young stellar jets spied by Gemini South: Crystal-clear images of meandering bipolar stellar jets from young stars captured with adaptive optics
Sinuous stellar jets meander lazily across a field of stars in new images captured from Chile by the international Gemini Observatory, a Program of NSF’s NOIRLab. The gently curving stellar jets are the outflow from young stars, and astronomers suspect their sidewinding appearances are caused by the gravitational attraction of companion stars. These crystal-clear observations […]
