Genetic variants, or spelling changes, in either a coding or non-coding region can interfere with how the cell translates specific instructions. However, larger spelling changes can lead to the deletion of a sentence or even a whole chapter. Rapid replication during the first trimester of pregnancy, therefore, can introduce a host of genetic changes not seen in mom or dad. Any difference between an individual’s genome and the reference genome reveals a potential variant that could be associated with a disorder. By analyzing vast amounts of genetic data, AI technology is uncovering intricate relationships between large variants and certain psychiatric disorders.

Wall Street Journal reports how the State is spending on the likes of 'what might become the world’s most expensive children’s hospital'. Ireland’s corporate tax boom featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal on Saturday, as the newspaper reported on how US giants such as Apple, Alphabet’s Google, Microsoft and Pfizer have increasingly shifted profits to units in the Republic amid a global drive to move activities away from offshore locations such as the Cayman Islands. The news feature, which began on the front page but continued inside, does not contain much by way of fresh reporting. The Government sees corporate tax receipts topping €37 billion this year, up from €4.6 billion a decade ago. The news piece also reports how Irish politicians are choosing to look the other way for now as Donald Trump’s election victory in the US raises questions about whether the Irish corporate tax boom will continue.
