A new USDA-supported project based at Iowa State University will create an encyclopedia of livestock species' genetic regulatory regions, a DNA netherworld that could be useful in breeding for improved animal efficiency and health.
Using immersive virtual reality (i-VR) – a technology where, through use of a headset and controllers, a user can navigate myriad virtual environments – researchers at the University of South Australia have created engineering-specific scenarios where students can practice their engineering skills, using language that is specific to the job.
A study by UdeM professor Claude Perreault's team at IRIC proposes three potential functions for so-called parasite DNA sequences in T cell development.
Homelessness in Arizona has reached a new crisis point. In 2023, more than 14,000 people were without shelter—a 29% increase since 2020.Help could be on the way, thanks to grant funds that are fueling new research projects based at NAU and developed alongside community partners.Laura Noll and Robert Wickham, both associate professors of psychological sciences at NAU, recently received more than $1 million in grants from the Garcia Family Foundation to lead three projects aimed at not only finding housing and support for unsheltered Arizonans but also preventing future homelessness in the state.
For the last decade, people who use drugs in Quebec have been partially sheltered from Canada’s drug overdose epidemics. But since 2020, the picture has changed.
