New research from a consortium led by Royal Holloway, University of London, has identified the first genetic link for Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT): an uncommon form of stroke affecting mostly young individuals, and primarily women. Brain connections mean some people lack visual imagery Medical ...
In 2008 we initiated a project to sequence the genomes of some of the Darwin’s finches (Additional file1). In particular, we were motivated to perform a whole genome analysis of the large ground finchG. magnirostrisbecause of the evolutionary importance of the entire clade of Darwin’s fin...
As our admiration for the extent and complexity of microbial ecosystems grow, we can extrapolate how our new comprehension could shape our future. No doubt, microbes can alter their environments and can be harnessed to engineer our planet as well as our health. Indeed, even ecosystem restoration...

The semantic web arose from the desire to provide query and comparison capabilities for all World Wide Web data standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), allowing it to link URLs to resources and classify specific knowledge domains. Semantic web technology derives meaning from a structur...
Although the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF recommend that infants should be exclusively breastfed for the first 6 months of life, evidence is scarce on how the mother’s undernourishment status at delivery and maternal dietary factors influence human milk (HM) composition during the fi...
Mendel did this, and Darwin did this, but barely. We are now further behind than Mendel and Darwin in terms of techniques to do this. It's a mess, and we've got to work on this problem. Data, Information, and Knowledge: Ontologies and Semantics We are trying to objectify knowledge. ...
