Highlight—Making It Big: Salamanders Keep DNA Near and Dear
In ancient lore, salamanders were magical creatures capable of leaping spontaneously from flame. Rather than being harmed by fire, they fed on it. In one of his less scientific moments, Da Vinci wrote the salamander "gets no food but from the fire, in which it constantly renews its scaly skin." Although these powers are, unfortunately, not true, it is consoling to know salamanders are near-magi...
متن کاملTaiwan Biobank: making cross-database convergence possible in the Big Data era
The Taiwan Biobank (TWB) is a biomedical research database of biopsy data from 200 000 participants. Access to this database has been granted to research communities taking part in the development of precision medicines; however, this has raised issues surrounding TWB's access to electronic medical records (EMRs). The Personal Data Protection Act of Taiwan restricts access to EMRs for purposes ...
متن کاملMaking big steps in trajectories
We consider the solution of initial value problems within the context of hybrid systems and emphasise the use of high precision approximations (in software for exact real arithmetic). We propose a novel algorithm for the computation of trajectories up to the area where discontinuous jumps appear, applicable for holomorphic flow functions. Examples with a prototypical implementation illustrate t...
متن کاملArchaea make it big
There’s an old joke that circulates in newsrooms. A reporter rushes up to City Desk and breathlessly tells his editor that he has confirmed the Second Coming of Christ. The editor doesn’t want the story. “We had that one already — 2 000 years ago.” If it’s news, it has to be the first, the biggest, the oldest or the most, especially in science news. So, how do you make the papers if you’ve comp...
متن کاملMaking Sense of Big Data.
Hadoop is currently the large-scale data analysis “hammer” of choice, but there exist classes of algorithms thataren’t “nails” in the sense that they are not particularly amenable to the MapReduce programming model. Toaddress this, researchers have proposed MapReduce extensions or alternative programming models in which thesealgorithms can be elegantly expressed. This article es...
