The optimisation of process planning has emerged as a pivotal aspect of modern manufacturing, where genetic algorithms (GAs) and hybrid techniques are leveraged to address the combinatorial complexity ...

Evolution is often characterized as a tinkerer creating efficient but messy solutions. We analyze the nature of the problems that arise when trying to explain and understand cognitive phenomena ...

Genetic algorithms borrow their name and principles from biological evolution, but can they help researchers discover the fundamentals of life? Evolution is one of the most widely known theories in ...

So far, it has not been possible to explain the causes of around half of all rare hereditary diseases. A Munich research team has developed an algorithm that predicts the effects of genetic mutations ...

As a biomedical informatics researcher, Nigam Shah spends his days using math to try to make sense of giant, unwieldy data sets. He’s used data mining to identify off-label drug use and to create ...

Restricting calorie consumption is one of the few proven ways to combat aging. Though the underlying mechanism is unknown, calorie restriction has been shown to prolong lifespan in yeast, worms, flies ...

Scientists with UC San Diego's Jacobs School of Engineering and the Qualcomm Institute have developed a new gene prediction algorithm, called MINING-D, that could help researchers investigate the ...

The official opening of the Foster + Partners-designed Alibaba Shanghai Campus office building, rooted in the city's DNA of innovation and openness, redefines the traditional office environment. The ...

Plant geneticist Dario Cantu used a new sequencing technology and computer algorithm to produce a high-quality draft genome sequence of the cabernet sauvignon wine grape. (Gregory Urquiaga/UC Davis) ...
