architecture

The results suggest that the architecture of regulatory sequences in the genome is much more complex than previously thought.

Archaeology studies the human past through the excavation of things people made and used thousands of years ago -- from architecture to objects like pottery bowls and animal bones from meals.

Professor Peter J. Cobb, an archaeologist at the HKU Faculty of Arts, emphasised the benefits of the new technology, stating: "By wearing an MR device while I dig, I can virtually see a removed wall at its original location. This helps me decide where to dig next, and I can compare, in situ, multiple sections of ancient architecture that were removed at different times."

Thousands of scientists and plant breeders have since used that genome in their own research on the genetic makeup underlying various characteristics, such as seed protein and oil content, plant architecture and productivity, and disease resistance and abiotic stress tolerance in soybeans.

"This new architecture is leveraging a neglected way to learn representations beyond the classic convolutional neural network approaches," summarizes co-author Prof. Misha Kudryashev, Leader of the "In situ Structural Biology" group of Max-Delbrück-Centrum für Molekulare Medizin in Berlin.
