When scientists first took a sequence of human genome in 2003, they revealed a full set of DNA instructions that make a person. But we still did not know what all those 3 billion genetic letters really do.

Now Google’s Deepmind Division says that it makes a jump in an attempt to understand the code with alphagenomes, an AI model that predicts that small changes in DNA will have an impact on an array of molecular processes, such as a gene activity will go up or down.

This is the only type of question that biologists regularly assess in laboratory experiments, and DNA letter is an attempt to advance the work of a biologist, by answering basic questions about changing genes and how to affect our health. Read full story,

This is officially heat, and the grid is emphasized

This is the crunch time for the grid this week. America’s large swatt record-breaking has reached or higher. Spain recently went through a dramatic summer wave, as by the UK, which is soon hanging for one and one.

We rely on electricity to keep ourselves comfortable, and at this point, safe. These are moments for which we design grids: it is too much when needed. The key to running everything smooth during these times can just be a little flexibility. But the demand for electricity from the major grid is already at the peak, and it is a good reason for slightly nervous. Read full story,
