For researchers on the hunt for the genetic roots of disease, the cost of deep whole-genome sequencing makes it challenging to conduct large genetic studies involving thousands of participants, which are needed to reveal new genetic insights. So scientists at the Broad Institute came up with a clever approach, called the Blended Genome Exome (BGE), that lowers the cost of sequencing by 75% and is becoming one of the most commonly used sequencing methods at the Broad.

This Studebaker Is Basically a Street-Legal NASCAR that Competed in Mexico's Most Grueling Race

  • Studebakers can be a bit stuffy. Not this one.

One of the greatest on-screen line deliveries belongs not to a human actor but to a Muppet, Fozzie Bear's memorable "Ah, a bear in his natural habitat, a Studebaker." The Studebaker in question, a shabby '51 Commander, is what most people think of the breed: fusty, slow, a bit of a punchline. Not so in Mexico, where streamlined Fifties Studebakers are absolute rocketships.

‘Elle’ Team on Why ‘Legally Blonde’ Prequel Is a Series Not a Movie

Logo text

Viewers first encountered Reese Witherspoon‘s Elle Woods in the 2001 movie Legally Blonde and its 2003 sequel Red, White and Blonde.

But when it came time to explore Elle’s high school years, specifically another outsider experience moving to Seattle, 25 years after the original film was released, the team behind Elle, the Prime Video Legally Blonde prequel that began streaming earlier this month, saw an opportunity to spend more time not only with the title character, now played by Lexi Minetree, but also with the characters around her in the form of an eight-episode series that has already been renewed for and completed production on season two.
