PICNIC accurately predicts condensate-forming proteins regardless of their structural disorder across organisms
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: information science, robotics/AI
Here the authors report PICNIC (Proteins Involved in CoNdensates In Cells), a machine learning algorithm that predicts approximately 40–60% of proteins form condensates in various organisms, showing no clear relationship with the complexity of the organism or the content of disordered proteins.

Thousands of Undiscovered Genes May Be Hidden in DNA ‘Dark Matter’
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biotech/medical, genetics
The preprint, not yet peer-reviewed, is the latest from a global consortium that hunts down potential new genes. Ever since the Human Genome Project completed its first draft at the turn of the century, scientists have tried to decipher the genetic book of life. Buried within the four genetic letters—A, T, C, and G—and the proteins they encode is a wealth of information that could help tackle our most frustrating medical foes, such as cancer.
The Human Genome Project’s initial findings came as a surprise. Scientists found less than 30,000 genes that build our bodies and keep them running—roughly a third of that previously predicted. Now, roughly 20 years later, as the technologies that sequence our DNA or map proteins have become increasingly sophisticated, scientists are asking: “What have we missed?”
The new study filled the gap by digging into relatively unexplored portions of the genome. Called “non-coding,” these parts haven’t yet been linked to any proteins. Combining several existing datasets, the team zeroed in on thousands of potential new genes that make roughly 3,000 miniproteins.

Tiny sensors offer new hope for faster bone injury recovery
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: biotech/medical, electronics
Tiny implantable sensors are helping University of Oregon researchers optimize the process of recovery from severe bone injuries.
Scientists at the UO’s Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact have developed miniature implantable sensors that transmit real-time data about what’s happening at an injury site. In a new study, they use the technology to show that a resistance-training rehabilitation program can significantly improve femur injuries in rats in just eight weeks.
The sensors provide a window into the mechanical properties of the bone, giving scientists detailed ongoing data about the process of healing. If someday applied in humans, these sensors could allow doctors to better tailor a rehabilitation program to an individual patient, monitoring their progress and adjusting the exercises along the way.

Welcome to The Quantum Memory Matrix — Hypothesis Offers New Insight Into Black Hole Information Paradox
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: computing, cosmology, mathematics, quantum physics
A new hypothesis suggests that the very fabric of space-time may act as a dynamic reservoir for quantum information, which, if it holds, would address the long-standing Black Hole Information Paradox and potentially reshape our understanding of quantum gravity, according to a research team including scientists from pioneering quantum computing firm, Terra Quantum and Leiden University.
Published in Entropy, the Quantum Memory Matrix (QMM) hypothesis offers a mathematical framework to reconcile quantum mechanics and general relativity while preserving the fundamental principle of information conservation.
The study proposes that space-time, quantized at the Planck scale — a realm where the physics of quantum mechanics and general relativity converge — stores information from quantum interactions in “quantum imprints.” These imprints encode details of quantum states and their evolution, potentially enabling information retrieval during black hole evaporation through mechanisms like Hawking radiation. This directly addresses the Black Hole Information Paradox, which highlights the conflict between quantum mechanics — suggesting information cannot be destroyed — and classical black hole descriptions, where information appears to vanish once the black hole evaporates.
