Google DeepMind Releases AlphaGenome

Science AlphaGenome: AI for better understanding the genome Share Copy link × Introducing a new, unifying DNA sequence model that advances regulatory variant-effect prediction and promises to shed new light on genome function — now available via API. The genome is our cellular instruction manual. It’s the complete set of DNA which guides nearly every part of a living organism, from appearance and function to growth and reproduction. Small variations in a genome’s DNA sequence can alter a

Show HN: Ariadne – A Rust implementation of aperiodic cryptography

Ariadne Suite ariadne.ciphernomad.org This repository contains the Ariadne Suite, our canonical Rust implementation of the Ariadne Protocol. The protocol is a novel cryptographic architecture we designed around the Labyrinth Construction to provide aperiodic, or non-repeating, cryptographic transformations. The project mission is to create resilient, open-source tools for digital sovereignty. This is independent research, released as a public good. Its continuation, development, and future s

I Was Shocked to Learn These 10 Foods Aren't Vegetarian

Think It's vegan? Think again. Depending on how strictly you follow a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, some seemingly plant-based foods might not make the cut. Surprising ingredients, including animal byproducts, can sneak into everyday staples like sugar, wine, and even corn tortillas. You might be a pro at reading labels, but it's easy to assume certain items are animal-free when they're not. Here are 10 common foods that aren't always as vegetarian- or vegan-friendly as they seem. Cheese Rea

Latest Covid Variant Now Driving Over a Third of U.S. Cases

The newest concerning variant of covid-19 is rapidly advancing across the U.S. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that NB.1.8.1 has started to supplant other circulating strains of the coronavirus. According to the CDC’s latest Nowcast, covering the last two weeks through June 7, NB.1.8.1 is likely causing 37% of all covid-19 cases in the U.S., just barely behind the current dominant variant, LP.8.1 (38%). It’s an estimate, but the CDC’s numbers indicate a large surg

New COVID variant swiftly gains ground in US; concern looms for summer wave

While COVID-19 transmission remains low in the US, health experts are anxious about the potential for a big summer wave as two factors seem set for a collision course: a lull in infection activity that suggests protective responses have likely waned in the population, and a new SARS-CoV-2 variant with an infectious advantage over other variants. The new variant is dubbed NB.1.8.1. Like all the other currently circulating variants, it's a descendant of omicron. Specifically, NB.1.8.1 is derived

WHO Monitors New Covid Variant Spreading in America and Europe

A new Covid variant is being kept under surveillance by the World Health Organization (WHO) as its emergence has led to an increase in infections in several regions of the world. First identified at the end of January, the variant—called NB.1.8.1 but known informally as “Nimbus”—is a descendant of the Omicron family of Covid sublineages, and has become increasingly prevalent throughout the spring in Europe, the Americas, and the Western Pacific. The virus has mutations that may increase its inf
