Wouldn't it be great if all genetic disorders could be detected early, especially the ones that can be treated? Yet, many aren't tested for because it's expensive and needs fancy equipment. Enter SCAN: a new, affordable way to check for common aneuploidies using nanopore sequencing. SCAN first ampli
Mass spectrometry (MS) is like a superhero in the world of science, helping us find and understand proteins. It's key in personalized medicine, systems biology, and biomedical research. But analyzing MS data can be tough. That's where ProtPipe steps in. It's a tool designed to make MS data analysis
Melanoma, a serious type of skin cancer, is causing quite a stir in Mexico. It's the third most common skin cancer there, and sadly, it accounts for a whopping 75% of skin cancer deaths.

Imagine this: a grandparent in China needs a surgery. But first, doctors must figure out if they're frail, because frailty can really influence how well someone bounces back from an operation. One common tool used in Chinese hospitals is the Perioperative Frailty Index (FI-32). Scientists wanted to
You might have seen the article "Crayfish Research: A Global Scientometric Analysis Using CiteSpace" in the journal Animals. Guess what? It's been taken down. Why? Well, let's chat about that. Scientific eyes were on this paper, with Azra and team leading the way in analyzing crayfish research worl
Cryptographic algorithms are the backbone of secure systems, ensuring integrity and confidentiality. However, developers often misuse these algorithms by using weak passwords and constant keys. Enter CRYLOGGER, an open-source tool designed to detect these misuses dynamically. It logs the parameters
Let's talk about a new way to figure out if a business idea is worth the money. This method brings together two important perspectives: the business model and the processes that make it happen.
