Wildcat Realizm graphics technology enables the new Sun XVR-2500 graphics
accelerator to achieve up to twice the geometry performance and up to 2., Natural Selection, Inc. will adapt neural network
architectures for the reliable and accurate prediction of functional RNA
(fRNA) genes including microRNAs. This Phase II effort will focus on the refinement of evolved
neural networks for ten key eukaryotes capable of discriminating fRNA coding
from noncoding sequence information and experimental validation of predicted
fRNA coding regions in humans and mice," said Dr.

Graphics Programming is the topic that has anything to do with programming pertaining to visual data.

3Dlabs Wildcat Realizm architecture was tailored to meet Sun's
specifications and requirements for the XVR-2500. "Our prior SBIR Phase I research
resulted in the successful development of machine learning approaches for the
discrimination of fRNA coding regions from noncoding regions in four model
eukaryotes.

* characteristics of fRNA genes

* potential for this tool in relation to fRNA target discovery

* commercial application via RNA therapeutics in humans and other
organisms

* mechanisms of translational expression by RNAs

"As the number of experimentally verified siRNAs, stRNAs, and microRNAs
continues to increase, the rate at which we verify these elements is largely
dependent on the prediction of interesting regions followed by laboratory
