Researchers have developed a new algorithm for ranking abnormal genes according to their likelihood of contributing to a cancer. They also show that a gene identified by the algorithm as a likely restrainer of tumor growth does indeed play that role in a common type of brain cancer, and is not a mere "bystander" to another restrainer gene.
Simple Tools Would Enhance Experience Of Bloggers, Blog Readers

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have provided new insight into blog readers' online habits and experiences, as well as how they perceive their roles in blog-based communities. A better understanding of the reader-blogger connection could lead to new, advanced features that would enable richer interactions between the two groups. For readers, an installed add-on could enrich their experience by tracking blog habits of which they might not be aware. For bloggers, a logging tool could help them easily distinguish between different types of readers and allow them to better connect with audiences.

A cell constantly remodels its fluid membranes to carry out critical tasks, such as recognizing other cells, getting nutrients or sorting proteins. Because membranes are fluid and intrinsically disordered, investigating these and other life-sustaining processes in detail has always been difficult. But a computer model provides a new approach by allowing scientists simulate and observe membrane dynamics the large scale where critical membrane-mediated processes take place.
You Get What You Pay For With Online Q & A Sites, Study Shows
