HOUSTON - (Feb. 26, 2021) - Tracking the origin of synthetic genetic code has never been simple, but it can be done through bioinformatic or, increasingly, deep learning computational approaches.
Though the latter gets the lion s share of attention, new research by computer scientist Todd Treangen of Rice University s Brown School of Engineering is focused on whether sequence alignment and pan-genome-based methods can outperform recent deep learning approaches in this area.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reported that the four participants experienced Bell’s palsy, a rare condition in which one side of the face is temporarily paralyzed. While the FDA did not state that the vaccine directly caused the paralysis, it warned that doctors should watch out for the side effect and promised to observe cases closely.
The FDA revealed this side effect in a report about Pfizer’s vaccine, which was made in partnership with German firm BioNTech. The report was released days before the U.S. regulator was scheduled to review the pharmaceutical firm’s emergency use authorization.
