Space has always captured our curiosity and imagination, but it is becoming increasingly intertwined with our daily lives, driving innovation and improving productivity in nearly every sector. When we think of space, most people think of space travel and rocket launches. However, highly sophisticated space technology (space tech) is exploding business opportunities here on Earth, and we believe we have only scratched the surface of the potential. When it comes to space, we believe collaboration is essential. That’s why we’ve been bringing together key players across the space ecosystem to analyze the opportunities in space technology and its…

We think now is a good time to analyze Bragg Gaming Group Inc.’s (TSE:BRAG) business. The company seems poised to achieve big things. Bragg Gaming Group Inc. provides a B2B online gaming technology platform and casino content aggregator worldwide. With losses of €3.8m in the most recent financial year and €5.3m in the last 12 months, the CA$197m market-cap company widened its losses as it moved further away from its breakeven target. As the path to profitability is of interest to Bragg Gaming Group’s investors, we decided to gauge market sentiment. We’ve compiled a summary of industry analysts’ expectations for…

At the Cape Town conference, we hear that plans are underway for the African Bioinformatics Institute to manage the deluge of data. The boom in genomics and other “omics” research in Africa is generating huge amounts of data that need to be managed, it was reported at the conference this week. This has led to proposals for a data analytics infrastructure initiative that would extend the benefits of data beyond the lifetime of the project that collected it. Federated Network One such initiative is the African Bioinformatics Institute, which aims to build a federated network of computational biologists and data…

Open Cosmos, a UK-based startup that uses satellites to combat climate change, has won a 60 million euro contract to build seven satellites for Greece. The project, dubbed the “Optical Constellation,” will be the country’s first flagship satellite project. The Greek constellation will collect data in low orbit to improve public services: use cases range from providing new information for land registries to making agriculture more efficient and preventing marine pollution. The spacecraft will be equipped with a suite of instruments for daily data collection, including high-resolution optical multispectral and hyperspectral cameras, Internet of Things (IoT) and Automatic Identification System…

Sequence-based proteoform identificationTo demonstrate the power of this new approach, we decided to reanalyze pulldowns of exogenously expressed HRAS wild-type (HRASWT) and HRASG12D constructs in three cell lines (PXD01946917) because they represent highly expressed and stable peptide forms characterized by protein sequence alterations. The aim of the original study was to identify cancer-specific protein-protein interactions, particularly those resulting from mutations in 31 frequently mutated genes, as therapeutic targets. By focusing on HRASWT and HRASG12D cell lines, we found that these samples were highly enriched for HRAS bait proteins (Figure 1B, data 118) and were detected by numerous PSMs, achieving 98%…

introduction Project Kuiper is Amazon’s low earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband network. The network is intended to provide fast, affordable connectivity to communities around the world that are unavailable or underserved by traditional internet and communications options. The network also has the performance, capacity, and flexibility to serve a wide range of business, communications, and government customers. To achieve this goal, Amazon is deploying thousands of satellites in low earth orbit (LEO) linked to a global network of ground-based antennas, fiber, and internet connection points. High-tech manufacturing, including advanced CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machining, produces precision components for Project Kuiper’s…
