I really liked this article, especially: In the middle, between DNA read-in and DNA read-out, is a computing layer that’s seen enormous growth in the availability of useful data. Databases like KEGG, for metabolic pathways, and Genbank, for genetic sequences, codify biological processes in machine terms. Software can instantaneously run through millions of permutations before suggesting a …
Unlike traditional microscopes that use optics to make small objects bigger, this new microscope uses a video camera and image processing to analyze and visualize the changes. It can magnify a variety of interesting and useful phenomena, from blood pulsing under our skin, to vibrations in pipes, engines, and throats, revealing a whole new world …
