Patterns and bottlenecks A year into the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 pandemic, we are experiencing waves of new variants emerging. Some of these variants have worrying functional implications, such as increased transmissibility or antibody treatment escape. Lythgoe et al. have undertaken in-depth sequencing of more than 1000 hospital patients' isolates to find out how the virus is mutating within individuals. Overall, there seem to be consistent and reproducible patterns of within-host virus diversity. The authors observed only one or two variants in most samples, but a f...

Spring 2021 HiPerGator Symposium highlights artificial intelligence research  Winners of UF Research's Artificial Intelligence (AI) Research Catalyst Fund presented how they are pursuing multidisciplinary applications of artificial intelligence across the university at the Spring 2021 HiPerGator Symposium Tuesday. Presenters covered a wide range of topics, sharing how they are using AI to tackle issues like uncovering decades of ecological change to detecting online students who are at risk of dropping out. In the afternoon, attendees and presenters interacted in Q-and-A panels. Roughly 275 ...

 E-Mail Hydrogen is an incredibly powerful fuel, and the ingredients are everywhere--in plain old water. Researchers would love to be able to use it widely as a clean and sustainable energy source. One catch, however, is that a considerable amount of energy is required to split water and make hydrogen. Thus scientists have been working on fabricating materials for photoelectrodes that can use solar energy to split water, creating a "solar fuel" that can be stored for later use. Scientists with the University of Chicago, the University of Madison-Wisconsin and Brookhaven National Laboratory p...

Posted on 318 WekaIO™ (Weka), the fastest-growing data platform for artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), life sciences research, and high-performance data analytics (HPDA), today announced that the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF) has implemented Weka’s Limitless Data Platform™ to simplify, speed up, and scale their mixed workloads. By using Weka, OMRF can run more and concurrent research jobs in a shorter amount of time. Established in 1946, OMRF is an independent, nonprofit biomedical research instit...
