متن کاملPathogen Genetics and Genomics
The development of expressed sequence tag (EST) databases, directed transformation and a sequenced genome have facilitated the functional analyses of Fusarium graminearum genes. Extensive analysis of 10,397 ESTs, derived from thirteen cDNA libraries of F. graminearum grown under diverse conditions, identified a novel cluster of eight genes (gene loci fg08077 – fg08084) located within a 17 kb re...
متن کاملTeam Blockhead Wars: Generating FPS Weapons in a Multiplayer Environment
We present an attempt at exploring the search space of weapons in team-based multiplayer First-Person Shooters (FPS). At the foundation of the experiment is Team Blockhead Wars (TBHW), a game that we developed for the purposes of this project. TBHW allows human players to enjoy classic multiplayer FPS gameplay and uses a genetic algorithm to continuously generate new weapons. A weapon’s genome ...
متن کاملInsights from Genomics into Bacterial Pathogen Populations
Bacterial pathogens impose a heavy burden of disease on human populations worldwide. The gravest threats are posed by highly virulent respiratory pathogens, enteric pathogens, and HIV-associated infections. Tuberculosis alone is responsible for the deaths of 1.5 million people annually. Treatment options for bacterial pathogens are being steadily eroded by the evolution and spread of drug resis...
