The optimisation of process planning has emerged as a pivotal aspect of modern manufacturing, where genetic algorithms (GAs) and hybrid techniques are leveraged to address the combinatorial complexity ...

Climate change has necessitated the development of "green" alternatives to replace existing materials. This focus has resulted in the push toward fabricating natural fiber-reinforced polymer ...

Sifting through mounds of genetic data using a computer algorithm, several networks of genes that could play a role in the development of multiple types of cancer have been identified. Sifting through ...

So far, it has not been possible to explain the causes of around half of all rare hereditary diseases. A Munich research team has developed an algorithm that predicts the effects of genetic mutations ...

Genetic algorithms borrow their name and principles from biological evolution, but can they help researchers discover the fundamentals of life? Evolution is one of the most widely known theories in ...

A graph-based computational tool for detecting previously invisible genetic mutations has been developed. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA; USA) and the University of ...

The first use of phylogenetic techniques shows the 'ancestral' virus genome closest to those in bats was not Wuhan's predominant virus type. The study charts the 'incipient supernova' of COVID-19 ...

Vegetatively propagated crops (VPCs) and horticultural tree crops (HTCs) play an important role in food security and income and represent significant agricultural opportunities in most countries of ...
