A recent study by researchers uncover clues in extremophiles' genomes, revealing genomic shifts and hinting at astrobiological implications.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo and Western University have uncovered a previously unnoticed dimension within an organism’s genome.
In the 1990s, scientists discovered that an organism’s species could be identified by counting the occurrences of these DNA words., Kathleen A. Hill and Lila Kari, co-authors of the study, drew an analogy to differentiating between English and French books based on word frequencies. The authors highlighted that while these domains are genetically distinct, the newfound environmental dimension, especially the clustering of bacteria and archaea, indicates that the extreme temperature environment they live in caused systemic shifts in their genomic language.

Researchers show classical computers can keep up with, and surpass, their quantum counterpartsA team of scientists has devised means for classical computing to mimic a quantum computing with far fewer resources than previously thought. The scientists' results show that classical computing can be reconfigured to perform faster and more accurate calculations than state-of-the-art quantum computers.
