| SCI | Broken DNA Must Find Right Partners Quickly Amid Repairs
A gene called ATM suppresses DNA break-induced chromosome translocations, which are present in some cancers and predict the success or failure of therapies for those cancers. The research, described in this week's issue of Nature, was performed at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. (Embargo expired on 23-Jul-2008 at 13:00 ET.)

| SCI | Study Suggests Human Visual System Could Make Powerful Computer
New research suggests that if we want to carry out artificial computations, all we have to do is literally look around. Rensselaer professor Mark Changizi has begun to develop a technique to turn our eyes and visual system into a programmable computer. His findings are reported in the latest issue of the journal Perception.

| SCI | Biology Enters “The Matrix” Through New Computer Language
A new computer language for modeling biological phenomenon can “think” like cells and molecular mechanisms think, thereby simulating the dynamics of biological phenomenon. Through incorporating basic principles of engineering, the new language, called Little b, surpasses current biological modeling software in that it goes beyond simply representing biological information. It allows biologists to create programs that can reason about biological knowledge and thereby help overcome the barrier of complexity. (Embargo expired on 22-Jul-2008 at 19:05 ET.)
