Evolutionary Genetics: Reuse, Recycle, Converge

Our understanding of how genetic changes underlie the evolution of traits is growing fast. Two new studies now show that changes in the same genetic loci can drive the evolution of the same trait in multiple Drosophila species.

Reuse, Remix, Repeat: the Workflows of MIR

Many solutions for the reuse and remixing of MIR methods and the tools implementing them have been introduced over recent years. Proposals for achieving the necessary interoperability have ranged from shared software libraries and interfaces, through common frameworks and portals, to standardised file formats and metadata. Each proposal shares the desire to reuse and combine repurposable compon...

Reuse, Recycle to De-bloat Software

Most Java programmers would agree that Java is a language that promotes a philosophy of “create and go forth”. By design, temporary objects are meant to be created on the heap, possibly used and then abandoned to be collected by the garbage collector. Excessive generation of temporary objects is termed “object churn” and is a form of software bloat that often leads to performance and memory pro...
