Even though DNA sequencing technology is becoming increasingly accessible, it is still difficult to glean helpful information from an individual’s DNA. That is because there is a lack of reference data compiled from other people’s DNA. Most reference data is currently curated by academic institutions and is often compiled in different formats, making it difficult for doctors and researchers to use.
SolveBio wants to solve this problem by making DNA reference data easy to access. The health startup announced today that it has raised $2 million from Andreessen Horowitz, Max Levchin, SV Angel, and other investors.
Several news reports over the weekend noted that Tesla’s contract to supply Toyota with electric powertrains for its RAV4 EV crossover would end next year.
In the words of Tesla’s latest quarterly report, cited by Bloomberg in a Saturday news story, “Toyota is expected to end the current RAV4 EV model this year.”
Out of 100,000 heart disease incidents in France, 20,000 affect under 45-year-olds. Yet society does not realise the risk of hypercholesterolemia in younger people. EurActiv France reports.
Young people are not usually associated with heart diseases, but their dietary habits are putting them more and more at risk of high cholesterol.
Hypercholesterolemia, or the excess of cholesterol in the bloodstream, increases the risk of heart disease and stroke, especially when combined with early age smoking.

Boxed, an e-commerce company that offers Costco-like discounts on macro-sized quantities of bulk items, is expanding.
The company announced today that it has raised $6.5 million in a Series A round of funding, led by Greycroft Partners.
Boxed doesn’t have quite the selection that Costco has, with just 800 products available to purchase. What it does offer is the convenience of shopping at home instead of wandering through the desolate caverns of a poorly lit tilt-up concrete warehouse. It also offers free shipping on all of its products, including dog food, peanut butter, coffee, and bulk packs of Clif Bars.
La capacité de photosynthèse des plantes a toujours intéressé les scientifiques, qui tentent de produire en laboratoire des matériaux artificiels disposant de propriétés similaires aux plantes. Un groupe de chercheurs de l'Institut de Chimie de l'Université d'Etat de Campinas (Unicamp) développe ainsi des matériaux avec une structure à l'échelle nanométrique capables de réaliser une photosynthèse artificielle produisant de l'énergie.
The medical technology (medtech) industry has been a leader in the use of additive manufacturing (AM), also known as “3D printing.” In 2012, medical applications accounted for 16.4 percent of the total system-related revenue for the AM market.1
Semiconductors have become a business of astounding numbers. Chip makers can put a billion transistors on a chip. Mobile and computing devices are shipping at a rate of almost 2 billion units a year now. And if chip manufacturing hits a wall, electronics companies could lose billions upon billions of dollars.
