This article will examine the practical pitfalls and limitations observed when engineers use modern coding agents for real ...

Small peptides of 100 amino acids or fewer are encoded by small open reading frames (smORFs) and mediate key physiological functions in animals and humans. smORFs constitute 99% of transcribed, but ...

For all the attention on AI-assisted development, from autocomplete tools to systems that generate entire repositories, the conversation remains focused on speed. Everyone is talking about faster ...

Although there are many functions in the base package of R, sometimes there may not be a function that does exactly what you want. In this case, R allows users to create their own functions and call ...

Programming is a constant game of mental Jenga: one line of code stacked upon another, building a tower of code you hope is robust enough not to come crashing down. But it always does, as code never ...

Researchers have uncovered a vast new class of previously unrecognized mammalian genes that do not encode proteins, but instead function as long RNA molecules, and seem to play critical roles in both ...

In genetics, the term junk DNA refers to regions of DNA that are non-coding. Some of this noncoding DNA is used to produce noncoding RNA components such as transfer RNA, regulatory RNA and ribosomal ...

The generative AI technology powering ChatGPT—OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 LLMs—is available to R users, with a growing collection of packages and apps to choose from. ChatGPT can answer questions about ...

Writing good code requires close attention to detail and lots of will power and discipline. Good habits are half the battle. Last week, I talked about the relationship between polishing forks and ...
