We report a draft genome sequence for species strain 25GB23B1, isolated from arctic surface seawater off the coast of Alaska. The whole genome sequence will provide knowledge of the bacteria's relationship to its environment and possibly a new species of .

We demonstrate that melanoma cells can form and maintain cellular memories during the acquisition of therapy resistance that exhibit characteristics of cellular learning and are dependent on the transcription factor AP-1. We show that cells exposed to a low dose of therapy adapt to become resistant to a high dose, demonstrating that resistance was not purely selective.

Recent experience with other agricultural technologies-such as plant genetic engineering-shows that public perceptions can influence the pace and direction of innovation, so understanding perceptions and how they are formed is important. Here, we use representative data from an online survey (n = 2269) to analyze public attitudes towards crop farming robots in Germany-a country where new farming technologies are sometimes seen with skepticism.

However, Native Hawaiian, Filipino, and Pacific Islander communities are understudied with respect to digital therapeutics and AI health sensing despite using technology at the same rates as other racial groups.
Objective: In this study, we aimed to understand the feasibility of continuous remote digital monitoring and ecological momentary assessments in Native Hawaiian, Filipino, and Pacific Islander communities in Hawaii by curating a novel data set of longitudinal Fitbit (Fitbit Inc) biosignals with the corresponding craving and substance use labels.
In Germany (and other Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries), the need for a fundamental transformation of livestock farming has become increasingly evident in recent years. Two broad-based stakeholder commissions including the German farmers' association, the meat industry, and Non-Governmental Organizations have endorsed this demand. Nevertheless, major steps towards its implementation are still missing - a circumstance we refer to in this paper as the implementation dilemma.
