• June 2013 - Xbox One and PS4 Preorders and a Flash Cart for the 3DS

    Hi everyone its now June 2013 and the news is coming thick and fast here at DCEmu HQ, for those who dont know DCEmu has a portal site ie this one and a ton of Subdomains which have a hell of a lot more news for each and every console and OS we cover. The biggest news of the moment is that Preorders for the Xbox One and PS4 are now open, get yours preordered now or risk waiting in the queues when you do want to buy each of the next gen consoles. If you are a company wanting us to do reviews or wish to advertise in any way at DCEmu then use our Contact Page. Finally news of a Flash Cart for 3DS has come through, can it be true ?

    In another victory for crowdsourcing, gamers playing Phylo have beaten a state-of-the-art program at aligning regions of 521 disease-associated genes form different species. The 'multiple sequence alignment problem' refers to the difficulty of aligning roughly similar sequences of DNA in genes common to many species. DNA sequences that are conserved across species may play an important role in the ultimate function of that particular gene. But with thousands of genomes likely to be sequenced in the next few years, sequence alignment will only become more difficult in future. Researchers now report that players of Phylo have produced roughly 350,000 solutions to various multiple sequence alignment problems, beating the accuracy of alignments from a program in roughly 70% of the sequences they manipulated.
