“Data-Driven Thinking” is written by members of the media community and contains fresh ideas on the digital revolution in media. Today’s column is written by Oded Poncz, founder and chief technology ...

As scientists piece together the genomes of more and more life forms---from fruit flies to humans---they're finding ample evidence that new genes have often been created through the duplication of ...

Novel gene function associated with gene duplication can arise in either of two ways. According to the NEO-F model, novel function arises after gene duplication, with one copy maintaining ancestral ...

Segmental duplications are large genomic segments of recent origin and nearly identical sequence. Segmental duplications account for up to 5% of the human genome and they are often involved in genomic ...

Data de-duplication technology has emerged as a key technology in the effort to reduce the amount of data backed up on a daily basis, which in many enterprises is growing at more than 100% every year.

They have pinpointed a previously hidden “whole genome duplication” (WGD) in the common ancestor of these species, which seemingly opened the door to genetic variations that may have conferred an ...

Although it may not be as dramatic as the Big Bang birthing the universe, an explosion of DNA duplication in the common ancestor of humans, chimpanzees and gorillas may be responsible for many of the ...

Materials from the University Archives' physical collections may be duplicated for use in research and publication. The archives maintains the Copper Country Historical Images database (CCHI), from ...
