The giant molecular cloud G0.253+0.016 or "The Brick" is a massive (M~10^5 solar masses) cloud in the Galactic center. Its apparent lack of star formation given its large mass makes it unique in our Galaxy, and as such it has been the subject of more than a dozen papers in just the last 3 years. The properties of this cloud are being used to understand everything from the quiescent initial stag...

Traditionally genetic engineering is understood as a molecular biology discipline. The tools used in molecular biology are specific, mostly used by people who come from biological or medical background, which made the discipline distant from classical Computer Science. In this paper we would like to address computer science auditorium and point out the importance of understanding genetic engine...
