    GEARS, a machine learning model informed by biological knowledge of gene–gene relationships, effectively predicts transcriptional responses to multi-gene perturbations. GEARS can predict the effects of perturbing previously unperturbed genes and detects non-additive interactions, such as synergy, when predicting combinatorial perturbation outcomes. Thus, GEARS expands insights gained from perturbational screens.

    Victor Vescovo Dives to the Bottom of the Atacama Trench

    Underwater explorer Victor Vescovo recently dove to the deepest part of the Atacama Trench off the Chilean coast. Vescovo did the dive alongside Dr. Osvaldo Ulloa, Director of Chile’s Instituto Milenio de Oceanografia (IMO). The maximum depth recorded at the Atacama Trench’s lowest point was approximately 8,069 meters (26,473 feet). The new deepest point identified…
