PpgAge is developed using Apple Watch PPG data collected under informed consent from participants in the AHMS41. First, we train a general-purpose deep neural network from about 20 million 60-s PPG segments via self-supervised learning (SSL), with the objective of distinguishing participants from each other, summarizing each segment with a 256-dimensional feature vector, i.e., a PPG representation42. To build a …

Researchers have engineered a courtship ritual from one species of fruit fly into another using genetic modification.  A Japanese research team tweaked a single gene in the fly Drosophila melanogaster, causing it to display a courtship ritual only previously seen in Drosophila subobscura.  The research shows that manipulations of relatively small chunks of genetic code can alter complex behaviors.  Dating …

These SNVs, mainly within Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, were found to alter metabolites …
