...matches. Senior Ashwin Kumar lost in the consolation finals of the yellow bracket, while junior Sasha Ermakov lost in the semifinals of the white bracket. Sophomore Michael Hayes made it to the consolation semifinals of the orange bracket. The Crimson’s two other freshmen, Will Guzick and Aba Omedele-Lucien, each advanced one round, making it to the quarterfinals of their respective brackets before being eliminated. In doubles, aside from Chijoff-Evans and Nguyen, who lost in the finals of their bracket, the pair of Guzick and Clayton won the consolation title in their bracket, allowing their opponents...
...judge might take the Wall Street Journal or the ABA Journal home, but I don’t think he’s going to take the Yale Law Review,” he said...
That's the idea behind the Allen Brain Atlas (ABA). Launched in September with $100 million from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, the atlas is the first Web-based, public-access database of all 20,000 or so genes expressed in the mouse brain. Want to know where in the brain a specific gene is active? The ABA has it, in vivid three-dimensional color. Curious about what types of brain cells are actively expressing a particular gene? The atlas provides molecular-level data that tell you. "Even though it's a mouse project, it really is a wonderful resource...
...ABA has been a revelation for drug developers as well. Its data make clear that there are almost no genes that are exclusively expressed in any one structure or region. That, says Allan Jones, chief scientific officer of the Allen Institute for Brain Science, means "people will have to think harder about targeting pathways with combinations of drugs." Researchers like Dietrich Stephan at the Translational Genomics Research Institute are doing just that. Relying on the ABA, Stephan has identified a group of genes involved in age-related memory loss and has developed five compounds that mimic the activity...
Although it's just a few months old and aimed at the relatively small population of brain researchers, the ABA is getting more than 12 million hits a month; as the Institute adds new information, including gene-expression data from the human brain, Jones expects that volume will continue to surge. So if scientists eventually find a cure for some of the brain's most devastating disorders, they may have a mouse to thank...
