A new article published today in GigaScience demonstrates that machine learning can yield “proxy measures” for brain-related health issues from large population data, without the need for a specialist’s assessment.
Biodiversity Genomics 2021 was again virtual and brought together researchers across the world who are sequencing all of the corners of the tree of life. Here we have a write-up from Chris Armit.

A new “multi-modal” data set on arm motion control, published recently in GigaScience , is an important contribution to develop robotic prosthetic devices and other tools at the interface between human and machine. Robotic arms and other devices that support limb movements are getting ever more sophisticated.
Following the publication of a new software citation guide we explain more the practicalities and importance of citing research software.

This week in GigaScience we published the genome of the mediterranean cone snail, Lautoconus ventricosus . Cone snails produce a wide variety of powerful toxins and the new chromosome-scale genome assembly opens the door for detailed investigations of their diversity and evolution. Cone snails are beloved by collectors for their often beautiful shells, but they are infamous because of their powerful venom.
