Deep learning tool identifies bacteria in micrographs

Omnipose, a deep learning software, is helping to solve the challenge of identifying varied and miniscule bacteria in microscopy images. It has gone beyond this initial goal to identify several other types of tiny objects ...

Emu software uses common gene to profile microbial communities

Part of a gene is better than none when identifying a species of microbe. But for Rice University computer scientists, part was not nearly enough in their pursuit of a program to identify all the species in a microbiome.

Nanochannels light the way toward new medicine

To develop new drugs and vaccines, detailed knowledge about nature's smallest biological building blocks—biomolecules—is required. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, are now presenting a groundbreaking ...

NeuroMechFly: A digital twin of Drosophila

EPFL scientists have developed a digital model of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, that realistically simulates the movements of the animal. The twin is a big step towards reverse engineering the neuromechanical control ...

Reactive microscopy with MicroMator software

Microscopic imaging analysis is a crucial component of biochemistry and medicine, with significant progress in accuracy and speed made due to machine learning methods and improved computation. These technical advances can ...

The human genome is, at long last, complete

When scientists declared the Human Genome Project complete two decades ago, their announcement was a tad premature. A milestone achievement had certainly been reached, with researchers around the world gaining access to the ...
