An international team of researchers has made significant progress toward compiling a comprehensive listing of all the working parts of the human genome. The UW is a major contributor to this effort.

William Noble, who contributed his expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning to the ENCODE project, stands inside a UW computer facility that analyzes more than 4 pentabytes of genomic data a year.

The most-studied mass extinction in Earth history happened 65 million years ago and is widely thought to have wiped out the dinosaurs.

New research indicates that a separate extinction came shortly before that, triggered by volcanic eruptions that warmed the planet and killed life on the ocean floor.

SEATTLE - That's more like it. Actually, that's almost more like the Don James heyday. Keith Price got back to being just Keith Price instead of being preoccupied with every aspect of the team - then threw three TD passes in the first 23 minutes.

The Huskies overcame more injuries up front to fix their previously battered psyche in a 52-13 annihilation of Portland State on Saturday afternoon at sunny-all-over CenturyLink Field.

Crows and humans share the ability to recognize faces and associate them with negative, as well as positive, feelings. The way the brain activates during that process is something the two species also appear to share, according to new research.

“The regions of the crow brain that work together are not unlike those that work together in mammals, including humans,” said John Marzluff, UW professor of environmental and forest sciences.

When high-school math whiz Abraham Flaxman arrived at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1996, he found himself intimidated by how brilliant many of his fellow freshmen seemed. Their math chops, he said, "made me question whether or not this was for me."

But after dabbling in other fields in college, he decided to stick with math. It has certainly paid off. The Seattle Times has the story.
