The Human Genome Project produced an almost complete order of the 3 billion pairs of chemical letters in the DNA that embodies the human genetic code -- but little about the way this blueprint works.

The ENCyclopedia Of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project is a public research consortium that aims to identify all functional elements of the human genome sequence (Encode, 2004 Science).The ENCODE pilot ...

Six papers on the ENCODE project are published in the September 6 issue of A massive international collaboration has enabled scientists to assign specific functions for 80 percent of the human genome, ...

The ENCODE project--the initial results of which were released last week--was in some ways a computational biology phenomenon. The project, which found that 80% of human DNA is active and necessary, ...

Traditional computer chips run on electricity, while the emerging photonic chips use light. Now, scientists at Harvard have demonstrated a new kind of chip that transmits data in the form of sound ...

“When the first draft of the human genome was completed . . . it became immediately clear that while we had the primary sequence of the genome, or we had a draft of it . . . we needed to have an ...

Information can be encoded into all sorts of patterns, whether it’s short and long beeps for Morse code, raised bumps for Braille, or ones and zeroes for computers. Now researchers have demonstrated a ...

The results of a gigantic biology project — called ENCODE — were released today. The project covered ten years of effort by over 400 scientists and has culminated in 30 scientific papers published ...

A topic that's often very confusing for beginners when using neural networks is data normalization and encoding. Because neural networks work internally with numeric data, binary data (such as sex, ...
