Key Points: 
  • NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- A team led by researchers at NYU Langone Health has built nine new synthetic yeast chromosomes, swapping out a key organism's genetic material for engineered replacements.
  • In 2014, Sc2.0 reported the building of the first synthetic yeast chromosome (synthetic chromosome 3, or synIII), and five additional chromosomes (synII, synV, synVI, synX, and synXII) followed by 2017.
  • The team's challenge now, after having assembled all 16 synthetic yeast chromosomes, is to consolidate them into a single living yeast strain, the authors said.
  • Dr. Zhao and colleagues just published in Cell their significant progress on this front by incorporating 6.5 synthetic yeast chromosomes into one yeast cell using an established, but tedious method.

How Deadloch flips the Nordic Noir crime genre on its arse and makes it funny

Clearly someone is going to die, if they are not already dead, and a small community will be riven as its dark secrets are exposed to the pale light of a wintry Nordic day.

Key Points: 
  • Clearly someone is going to die, if they are not already dead, and a small community will be riven as its dark secrets are exposed to the pale light of a wintry Nordic day.
  • This is Deadloch, the fictional town that is the setting for a comedy crime drama that flips the Nordic Noir genre on its arse, so to speak.

Funny Broadchurch

    • In 2015, they launched The Katering Show on YouTube: a web series spoofing the homely genre of the cooking show that eventually found its way onto ABC iview.
    • They followed it with Get Krack!n, an attack on the genre of the cheerful but inane television breakfast show.
    • Apparently, the inspiration emerged from the “explosion of Nordic Noir” they were watching while breastfeeding at in the early mornings of 2015.

What is Nordic Noir anyway?

    • The impact of Nordic Noir on television production around the world has indeed been significant.
    • While there are those who suggest Nordic Noir may have already passed its use by date, McCulloch and Proctor argue that the ripple effects are still being felt.

Australian Noir

    • Australian crime dramas with clear Nordic Noir influences have become common.
    • Produced by Matchbox pictures for Foxtel Showcase in 2016, Secret City re-imagined Canberra as the sexy setting for a Nordic Noir drama that owed as much to the Danish series Borgen as it did to The Bridge in terms of its aesthetics and style.
    • The politics, however, were resolutely Australian, featuring Australia’s pig-in-the-middle predicament in the US-China power game.

Flip the colour palette

    • The ABC Indigenous crime drama Mystery Road flipped the colour palette to orange and red in what Bunya Productions producer David Jowsey described as “tropical outback gothic noir”.
    • Mystery Road managed to retain the measured pace of Nordic Noir and exquisite attention to a monumental and threatened landscape, while focusing on Indigenous issues.

Potty-mouthed satire

    • Which brings us back to Deadloch and the apotheosis of the Australian assimilation of Nordic Noir as a potty-mouthed satire that is also a feisty feminist take on the more usual gender politics of the crime drama.
    • Instead of a mismatched male and female cop from different cultural backgrounds, we have a couple of mismatched female detectives whose initially testy relationship gradually ameliorates as they join forces in the quest for the truth.
    • Rather than a married male detective having problems at home, we have a female detective whose lesbian wife needs constant affirmation.

Most adults experience more regular and intensive contact with adults of roughly the same age as them.

Key Points: 
  • Most adults experience more regular and intensive contact with adults of roughly the same age as them.
  • Business insiders are quick to point out both the benefits and the challenges of a multigenerational workforce.
  • The two are roughly the same age but one seems to have been much more up on text speak than the other.
  • The articles in this series explore the questions and bring answers as we navigate this turbulent period of life.
  • It’s not the meaning of the words used that causes the confusion, but how you said them.

Typographical tone

    • Research shows some quite consistent (and intuitive) ways in which people have communicated their intent through the ages.
    • Its use is documented as early as the 1850s: The Yorkville Enquirer of April 17 1856 describes a Dutchman “shout(ing) it out in capital letters”.
    • We interpret as shouting an all-caps email (“DON’T DO THAT AGAIN”), but not necessarily a sign (“PAPER AND CARDBOARD ONLY”).
    • My mom tells me she loves me and it sounds like she thinks I’m a huge disappointment.”

Hidden meanings

    • Research shows, however, that we are in fact more likely to write something snarky than we are to say it.
    • Here, the presumption of meaning behind non-standard features in text (that is, the elements that are not the words) is quite useful.
    • Written markers for irony or sarcasm arise quickly in a given community or interaction, to signal to the reader that there’s a meaning behind the words.
    • Instead, they tell the reader them to look for an additional, hidden – or inferred – meaning.
