X-Mapper: fast and accurate sequence alignment via gapped x-mers by Jeffry M. Gaston, Eric J. Alm, An-Ni Zhang

“…Here, we introduce X-Mapper, aiming to offer high speed and accuracy via dynamic-length seeds containing gaps, called gapped x-mers. We observe 11–24-fold fewer suboptimal alignments analyzing a human reference and 3–579-fold lower inconsistency across bacterial references than other aligners, improving on 53% and 30% of reads aligned to non-target strains and species, respectively. …”

Contemplation and liturgy: The experience of St. Mary Magdalene De’ Pazzi (Florence, 1566-1607) by M. O'Neill

“…In the experience of the Italian mystic, the Word that was proclaimed in the Liturgy, particularly in the Eucharist, captured her whole attention, in mind and heart, when meditated upon when she had received Holy Communion. Revelation contained in the proclamation of the Word became the content of her encounter with God, leading to that moment when her encounter took her beyond words and concepts into intimate union with God. …”

Carrier-envelope-phase characterization of ultrafast mid-infrared laser pulses through harmonic generation and interference in argon by Claudia Gollner, Valentina Shumakova, Jacob Barker, Audrius Pugžlys, Andrius Baltuška, Pavel Polynkin

“…We show that this seemingly irreversible loss of phase can be recovered, and that the complete information needed for the phase correction is contained in the harmonic spectra itself. The optical phases of the intense driver pulse and its harmonics, as fragile as they appear to be against even weak disturbances, evolve deterministically during highly nonlinear propagation through the extended ionization region.…”
