PHPN can discover genetic connections b/w PTs, characterizing the shared mechanisms in the former identifying unifying traits in the latter. Recognizing the connections b/w different traits/phenotypes is an integral first step in understanding the dynamic of most complex disease.

EXCAVATOR combines a three-step normalization procedure with a novel heterogeneous hidden Markov model algorithm and a calling method that classifies genomic regions into five copy number states. We validate EXCAVATOR on three datasets and compare the results with three other methods. These analyses show that EXCAVATOR outper- forms the other methods and is therefore a valuable tool for the investigation of CNVs in large- scale projects, as well as in clinical research and diagnostics.
a novel heterogeneous HMM-based algorithm (HSLM) that, by exploiting the sparseness of coding regions throughout the genome, allows for the detection of both small isolated events and large alterations. Testing HSLM on synthetic data showed that it was able to detect, with a comparable accuracy, large genomic regions covered by many exons as well as small genomic regions covered by few exons. Moreover, synthetic simulations were also exploited to compare the performance of HSLM to the CBS algorithm.

By either measure, bank-affiliated groups account for nearly 30% of the overall private equity market. (LPC's DealScan data & Capital IQ)
□ A 'time crystal' could be a physically plausible sort of perpetual motion machine ? though one that does not consume or produce energy ? but physicists disagree on whether one could be actually built.
Many researchers believe that physics will not be complete until it can explain not just the behaviour of space and time, but where these entities come from.
In 2010, Van Raamsdonk, discovered that if every particle entanglement between two separate regions of the boundary is steadily reduced to zero, so that the quantum links between the two disappear, the three-dimensional space responds by gradually dividing itself like a splitting cell, until the last, thin connection between the two halves snaps.
Repeating that process will subdivide the three-dimensional space again and again, while the two-dimensional boundary stays connected. So, in effect, Van Raamsdonk concluded, the three-dimensional universe is being held together by quantum entanglement on the boundary ? which means that in some sense, quantum entanglement and space-time are the same thing.
“Tbilisi brims with history and has a dramatic setting on hillsides either side of the swift Mtkvari River. Its Old Town, at the narrowest part of the valley, is still redolent of an ancient Eurasian crossroads, with narrow, winding alleys, handsome religious buildings, and old balconied houses and caravanserais (travellers inns).”
Martian minerals dissolved in groundwater are much more likely to yield a key building block for life ? phosphate ? than dissolved minerals on Earth. At least, that's the finding of a lab-based physical simulation designed to work out the habitability of ancient environments on the Red Planet.
Surprisingly, although the effects of genotype on fitness depended strongly on environment, causal intermediates could be most reliably predicted from genetic effects on expression present in all environments. Our results indicate a mechanism explaining this apparent paradox, whereby immediate molecular consequences of genetic variation are shared across environments, and environment-dependent phenotypic effects result from downstream integration of environmental signals.
□ SBML Qualitative Models: a model representation format and infrastructure to foster interactions between qualitative modelling formalisms and tools
System Biology Markup Language (SBML) Qualitative Models Package ("qual"), an extension of the SBML Level 3 standard designed for computer representation of qualitative models of biological networks. We demonstrate the interoperability of models via SBML qual through the analysis of a specific signalling network by three independent software tools. Furthermore, the cooperative development of the SBML qual format paved the way for the development of LogicalModel, an open-source model library, which will facilitate the adoption of the format as well as the collaborative development of algorithms to analyze qualitative models.

□ SCHILLER // OPUS // OUT NOW // VISUAL ESSAY
"Electronic music attributed to functional effects, is a fascinating phenomenon of our time. Paradoxically , because the electronics can be equally potent digital life logo and acoustic communication"
ドイツのエレクトロニック音楽家、Christopher von Deylenによる15年来のプロジェクト、Schillerの10枚目となるStudio Album。恒例としてタイトルに冠されるアルバムテーマは"Opus"の通り、クラシック～近代音楽の巨匠に対するオマージュ作品となっており、クラシック最大手レーベルDeutsche Grammophonの立ち上げる新ブランド、"Panorama"からの第一弾リリースに抜擢された。
William Orbitのエレクトロニカ・クラシックの名盤"Pieces in a Modern Style"も、書法としては多分に共通する処があるが、Schillerにおいてはもっと楽曲の機能性にフォーカスしており、オリジナル曲を挟みつつ進行するアルバム全体が、どちらかというとカヴァーよりもインスパイア作品と準えた方がしっくりくる。
先述の通り、"Opus"におけるサウンドデザインは、どこか『残響』や『ミニマル』を重点とした意匠に聴こえ、Schiller自身の従来のアルバムにあるダンス色は息を潜めている。特徴的なモノローグもない。その分、1st Album "Zeitgeist"の頃から、アルバムをドルビーサラウンドでリリースしてきた、音響に対する真摯な拘りが、今作では際立っている。
Christopher von Deylenは、エレクトロニカ音楽のコンポーザーという点では、さほどテクニカルな面において試行錯誤するタイプではなく、与えられたパレットを用いて表現を突き詰める純粋な演奏家に近く、あまりこの言葉は使いたくはないが、独自のストーリーと世界観で売っているアーティストである。

□ BT - "A Song Across The Wires" (Album Trailer Sneak Preview)
Brian Transeau: "When I'm making a record, it's like pointillism in art. Literally - it's dot by dot. Like a painter. I'm working on a molecular level."
現代USのEDMシーンを代表するダンス・アクトであり、シネマ音楽作曲家であり、そして常に先鋭的なオーディオ・テクニシャンであり続けるBrian Transeauの、9枚目となるStudio Artist Album。
前2作にあたる"If the Stars are Eternal So are You and I"と"Morceau Subrosa"が、アーティスティックな志向に基づいた企画的アンビエント・アルバムであったのに対し、"A Song Across Wires"は、2010年の"These Hopeful Machines"の系譜を正統にフォローアップするエレクトロニカ/ヴォーカル・アルバムとなっている。
またBTのアルバムには欠かせない要素である、煌めくようなストリングス・ワークが登場する"Stem the Tides"、今やトランスシーン切っての人気男性ヴォーカリストであるChristian Burns (THMにも参加、BTとはバンド "All Hail the Silence"を結成)の"Love Divine"、bt自らがミニマル・テックハウスの領域に切り込んだ"Vervoeren"などを経て、過去にBTの人気を決定づけたLibra名義時代の忘れ難い名曲、"Calling Your Name"へと至る。
遥か彼方へと想いを寄せるように切々とリフレインされる歌詞。"Calling your Name" (現題 "Anomaly")は、もともとDJ Taylorとの共作であり、発表から18年経ってなお、LibraことBrian Transeauのオールドファンにとって、最も人気の高いヴォーカルトラックである。
"A Song Across Wires"、今や世界のどこにいても、人々がネットワークを通じて瞬時に感情や情景を分かち合える時代、その中において、歌や音楽がどのように心と心を結び、見たことのない地平を拓いて行くのか。アートとテクノロジーの境界領域にある可能性。それは"The Emotional Technology"、"These Hopeful Machines"と、この数年来、btが関心を持ち続けて、表現を突き詰めて来たことである。
"A Song Across Wires"は、その長年に渡る研鑽の凝集が愚直なまでに“音楽”という媒体を手段として具現化された、一つの祈りの昇華なのだ。

Eric Levi自身、近年はクラシック・リソースに偏ったプロダクションを連ねており、アルバムは1-2年おきにコンスタントに出ているものの、どうにも寡作ぶりが拭えない感がある。
実は昨年のアリエルサイドにおける制作発表時点では、このアルバムは"Mystique et Symphonique"とタイトルされ、『ポップ・オペラ風のアルバムになる。』とアナウンスはされていたものの、Eric Leviが携わっていることなどは全く伏せられていた。結果的に、アリエルファンとeRaファンの両サイドに目配せしたリリースの形にはなったが、私としては、その裏でプロダクションのゴタゴタがあってのことではないか、この出来を前にすると、そんな疑念が頭を擡げる始末ではある。
然し乍ら"Cold Song"は一際異彩を放つ素晴らしい楽曲である。 Henry Purcellのセミオペラ『アーサー王』における最も有名な歌曲であり、実はもともとアリエル自身がCrazy Horseの舞台でレパートリーの一つとしていた作品。Eric Leviにとっても数少ない完全新曲であり、その重厚で威風に満ちたコーラスワークは、まさにeRaファンの渇望するディレクションに仕上がっていると言える。そのシュールな世界観と響きは、個人的には"Ameno"の再来かと評価したいぐらいのものである。
次点は"Sins"。アレグリのミゼレーレを題材に、良くぞこれほど好き勝手に編曲してくれたなと言いたくもなるが、こうも臆面もなく90年代Enigma風のグラウンドビートを刻んでこられると、最早ぐぅの音も出ない。Michael Cretuに『牛の糞』と評された遺恨など微塵もないようである。ちなみに、冒頭のコーラスは"The Mass"の"Don't Go Away"が元ネタのようだが、だいたい新曲と見なして良いだろう。
シングル・カットもされた"Ave Maria"は、シャルル・グノーの『バッハのアヴェマリア』の主題に基づくアレンジ。Eric Leviらしい変奏とドラムセクションが耳を惹き付ける華やかな作品。グノーの編曲は、J.S. Bachの平均律クラヴィーアの前奏曲 Op.1を題材にしたものであるが、実はEric Leviはアルバム"era Classics"において、"A Brand New Day"というタイトルで当該曲をアレンジ済みである。
同様にJ.S. Bachの引用である"Just Close Your Eyes"も新曲。主題は『チェンバロ協奏曲 第5番 ヘ短調 BWV1056』バッハのアリオーソとして親しまれている一節。ここはアリエルが英語歌詞でポップ調に歌い、ゴスペル風のコーラスがユニゾンする。これもSweetboxを思い出させる2000年代ノスタルジーの漂う歌曲。
"Don't Take My Pleasure of My Pain"は、デュリュフレの男声合唱とオーケストラのためのミサ曲『クム・ユビロ』をアレンジ。こちらも涙が出るほど懐かしい1990-2000年代のニューエイジ・トランス風の作品。同ジャンルにおいてEnigmaやeRaが隆盛を誇っていた時代、同様に宗教楽曲を電子音楽に取り込もうとする亜流のアーティストたちが数多く現れては消えた。そんな泡沫の中にも粒選りの存在は生まれた。Amoureというユニットの楽曲は、まさにこのラインを地で行っていた。
以上の曲に対するファースト・インスピレーションは悪くない。それ以外の曲については、eRaの既リリースを参照して欲しいというのが本音のところ。Arielle Dombasleのニューアルバムとしては新しいのかもしれないが、"After Time"などのヴォーカルは、どう贔屓目に見てもオリジナルに勝る要素がないし、"Adagio for Strings"や"Thousand Words"のように、アリエルの声が消化不良を起こしてる楽曲も引っかかる。

□ Alix Perez - Annie's Song ft Sam Wills - OFFICIAL VIDEO
Belgian born Alix Depauw is the face behind production moniker Alix Perez, now regarded as one of the most ground-breaking and innovative producer-DJ's of his generation.
‘Chroma Chords’ marks the new chapter; a multi-genre tour de force, a thoroughbred electronic musical masterpiece that casts Alix Perez in a league all of his own.
ベルギー出身、若干14歳でデビューした天才肌のDrum n' Bass プロデューサー、Alix Perezの4年ぶりとなるアーティスト・アルバム。
アルバム中最も攻撃的な曲である"Blueprint"を経て、大胆にノイズを乗せた"Shadows"では、同様にFuture-tech Hip Hopと呼ばれる実験的スタイルを特色とするStrange Uをフィーチャー。終盤に至って畳み掛けるように、骨太ながら鋭角的で切れ味のあるサウンド・コンストラクションを主張する。
