Linux Compose Key Sequences (2007)

Linux Compose Key Sequences Copied from archive of hermit.org Last updated: 8 September 2007 This table shows the compose key sequences which can be used to enter accented and other non-standard characters in Linux. To use these, you will first need to set up a compose key. Details may vary depending on your Linux setup, but it should be something like this: Open the Control Centre / desktop configuration tool. Select "Regional / Keyboard Layout". Select "Xkb Options". Scroll down to "Comp

Launch HN: BlankBio (YC S25) - Making RNA Programmable

Hey HN, we're Phil, Ian and Jonny, and we're building BlankBio ( https://blank.bio ). We're training RNA foundation models to power a computational toolkit for therapeutics. The first application is in mRNA design where our vision is for any biologist to design an effective therapeutic sequence ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgI7WJ1SygI ). BlankBio started from our PhD work in this area, which is open-sourced. There’s a model [2] and a benchmark with APIs access [0]. mRNA has the potential

Scientists Find Secret Code in Human DNA

Image by Getty / Futurism Genetics One person's junk is another's treasure. An international team of scientists have found that strings of "junk" DNA in the human genome that were previously written off as having no useful function are actually pretty important after all. The work, published as a study in the journal Science Advances, focuses on transposable elements, a class of DNA sequences that can "jump," via a biological copy-and-paste mechanism, to different locations in a genome. These
