Building a good mathematics test is a surprisingly hard optimization problem. Every item in a test bank carries its own content domain, difficulty level, cognitive demand, and point value, and a ...

Researchers have developed a Michigan-style genetic fuzzy system that turns sparse multiple sclerosis records into ...

Researchers have developed two algorithms to help fleets of drones inspect electricity infrastructure more efficiently, ...

More than 1,200 genetic variants have been linked to the Big Five personality traits, and many of the same variants are also associated with health, longevity, careers, income, and everyday habits.

Genetic testing is helping rare disease patients get answers earlier, sometimes before symptoms appear, opening the door to treatment before irreversible damage occurs. For families, a genetic ...

A new genetic screening method allows researchers to efficiently modulate individual genes across entire tissues and provides new insights into human development. The research, published previously as ...

Genomic selection has revolutionized animal breeding and accelerated genetic gains in breeding programs. However, the introduction of genomic selection in some cosmopolitan breeds has also been ...

It's a simple word that has developed a sinister connotation: algorithm. For many of us, algorithms help determine what we watch, read and listen to — in the process, confirming our tastes and biases, ...

Throughout history, most of the world’s genomic research has relied on DNA data from people of European ancestry. A genome is the full DNA code of about three billion (a thousand million) bases, ...

A research team led by Zhen-Xing Endowed Professor Jian Yang at the School of Life Sciences, Westlake University, has developed a pangenome-informed genome assembly (PIGA) method. By combining a ...
