Many large-scale genomics projects in progress today relate to sequencing human genomes, and finding relationships between certain sequences and disease, in addition to creating large storehouses of genetic data for later research. Most goals of genomic projects relate to strategies for early detection, prevention, and cures for diseases. However, a lesser-known area of genomic research is that of farm animals, particularly those that are integral to the national food supply. By understanding many of the same correlations and sequencing patterns found in human genomic research, farm animal genomics can fosteroften fosters practices that lead to increased livestock health and productivity, and the bioengineering of new animal-related technologies. Additionally, research related to farm-animal genetics proves valuable for humans, as farm animals are often models for physiological and pathological studies. Comment by Exploring Series: This report needs a cover page. It is also incorrectly formatted as a research paper.
A developing area of livestock genomics is that of pathogen sequencing. Specifically, the Agricultural Research Service (ARS) branch of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is conducting a genetics study to sequence the respiratory microbiome and virome associated with Bovine Respiratory Disease (BRD) in beef cattle. This disease is one of the most costly and prevalent diseases within the cattle industry, causing severe respiratory distress that usually results in death. As such, BRD results in lost revenue for cattle farmers each year. To combat this, in 2021 the ARS began following specific populations of beef cattle in the US and Ireland to study the microbiome and virome profiles at various points of time during the animal’s life cycle. Specifically, profiles are evaluated in calves prior to weaning and again after entering the feedlot, at which time the animal is most likely to contract BRD. This study will continue through 2022. as funding permits.
Objectives of the study are three-fold; to gather information about the prevalence of BRD, develop scientific methods to identify the pathogenic agents that cause the disease, and to understand the dynamics of secondary infection in cattle that contract the disease a second time, provided the first infection is survived. These objectives will help researchers uncover and understand any connections between microbiome profiles of cattle that develop BRD and those that do not. Consequently, this study has the potential for large positive impacts to the beef cattle industry. As detailed in Table 1, several research activities are ongoing, contributing to the understanding of pathogen sequencing in cattle.

"$10 thousand per minute of downtime: architecture, queues, streaming and fin...Fwdays
Direct losses from downtime in 1 minute = $5-$10 thousand dollars. Reputation is priceless.
As part of the talk, we will consider the architectural strategies necessary for the development of highly loaded fintech solutions. We will focus on using queues and streaming to efficiently work and manage large amounts of data in real-time and to minimize latency.
We will focus special attention on the architectural patterns used in the design of the fintech system, microservices and event-driven architecture, which ensure scalability, fault tolerance, and consistency of the entire system.
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

[OReilly Superstream] Occupy the Space: A grassroots guide to engineering (an...Jason Yip
The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
