Quantum error correction benchmarks for continuous weak parity measurements
We present an experimental procedure to determine the usefulness of a
measurement scheme for quantum error correction (QEC). A QEC scheme typically
requires the ability to prepare entangled states, to carry out multi-qubit
measurements, and to perform certain recovery operations conditioned on
measurement outcomes. As a consequence, the experimental benchmark of a QEC
scheme is a tall order because it requires the conjuncture of many elementary
components. Our scheme opens the path to experimental benchmarks of individual
components of QEC. Our numerical simulations show that certain parity
measurements realized in circuit quantum electrodynamics are on the verge of
being useful for QEC

RBPDB: a database of RNA-binding specificities
The RNA-Binding Protein DataBase (RBPDB) is a collection of experimental observations of RNA-binding sites, both in vitro and in vivo, manually curated from primary literature. To build RBPDB, we performed a literature search for experimental binding data for all RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) with known RNA-binding domains in four metazoan species (human, mouse, fly and worm). In total, RPBDB contains binding data on 272 RBPs, including 71 that have motifs in position weight matrix format, and 36 sets of sequences of in vivo-bound transcripts from immunoprecipitation experiments. The database is accessible by a web interface which allows browsing by domain or by organism, searching and export of records, and bulk data downloads. Users can also use RBPDB to scan sequences for RBP-binding sites. RBPDB is freely available, without registration at http://rbpdb.ccbr.utoronto.ca/
