Hong Kong (CNN) — Better cancer treatments, advances in longevity, groundbreaking medicines and vaccines: these are just some of the potential prizes on offer in an emerging global race to advance the biosciences.And China has been pouring billions of dollars into its efforts to become the preeminent force, with experts claiming its massive population of 1.4 billion people can provide a treasure trove of data.Vast amounts of this data already exists in biobanks and research centers around the country – but the government is now launching a “national genetic survey” to collect information about and assert more oversight over these resources, say experts.In recent years, authorities have also been tightening controls around foreign access to this data – in contrast to the many Western nations that have pledged to open up information for global sharing.The national survey and restrictions on foreign access are part of new regulations on China’s genetic resources, which came into e...Judge hits 464-foot homer, Yankees beat Marlins 9-4 in series opener

MIAMI (AP) — Aaron Judge hit a 464-foot home run, rookie Anthony Volpe hit a three-run drive and the New York Yankees beat the Miami Marlins 9-4 Friday night.Judge hit his 22nd homer and is batting .256 with three homers and five RBIs since returning from the injured list on July 28. The home run was the longest at Miami this season.“Any time we can add more runs they feel great,” Judge said. “I feel the past couple of games we’ve had guys on base and just haven’t gotten the big hit. Today we had a couple of clutch hits.”Volpe hit his 15th homer, putting the Yankees ahead with his second-inning shot off Jesús Luzardo’ (8-7).“I never set any goals or anything like that,” Volpe said. “I just want to compete every day and try to help the team win.”Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes went back on the injured list because of a strained left rotator cuff. Randy Vásquez (2-1) allowed two runs and three hits in 3 2/3 innings.“The preparation was the same, I was just focused on what I had to d...Lionel Richie, EWF light up TD Garden all night long

The first time Lionel Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire played together, way back in the ’70s, they packed an arena. The last time Richie and Earth, Wind & Fire played together, Friday night at the TD Garden, well, they packed an arena.Back in the day, Earth, Wind and Fire were untouchable – the sharpest, coolest, most pop savvy of the funk kings. Richie was with the Commodores and not yet the breakout star. Now Richie is the bigger icon – with the closing spot on the duel headlining bill – but not much else has changed.Earth, Wind & Fire started the night bright, bold, loud, proud, funky, freaky, and fabulous. And that just describes their threads. Hey EFW, the ’70s called, the decade wants you to know it’s positively thrilled with your look, and sound, and energy, and vibe, and horn section. (Late band founder Maurice White would be thrilled too – the legacy is in the good hands of brother Verdine White and longtime members Philip Bailey and Ralph Johnson.)In just over an ...Tylor Megill, Mets routed by MLB-best Braves in series-opening loss

Everything was going well for Tylor Megill until it wasn’t.The Mets were routed by the Atlanta Braves 7-0 in the first game of a three-game series Friday night at Citi Field. Megill, the right-hander who has confounded the Mets with his struggles this season, was responsible for six of those runs (five earned) in his sixth loss of the season (6-6).However, the loss can’t fully be blamed on Megill. There were defensive miscues behind the big righty and there were empty at-bats against Charlie Morton and the NL-best Braves.Megill cruised through the first three innings, looking more like the pitcher that won his first three decisions of the season and less like the one that was demoted to Triple-A in June. But then he loaded the bases with two outs in the fourth and Brandon Nimmo misplayed a fly ball from Eddie Rosario in center field. Rosario’s single cleared the bases. Megill then gave up a single, an RBI double and another single before the first out — an ou...Chris Sale practically perfect in first game back from injury, Sox defeat Tigers

Chris Sale had an innings restriction for his first start in over two months, but he made the most of it.Taking the mound for Friday night’s series opener, the 34-year-old left-hander didn’t give the Detroit Tigers an inch early on, setting the stage for a commanding 5-2 Red Sox victory.Sale was perfect through four perfect innings, striking out six, and inducing eight swings & misses. Of the six balls put in play by the visiting lineup, only two left the bat with an exit velocity above 80.3 mph.Despite the reported four-inning limit, he came back out for the fifth. He got two quick outs before Kerry Carpenter broke up his perfecto bid with a 434-foot solo home run. When the Red Sox starter followed that up by hitting Javier Báez with a pitch, Alex Cora went to his bullpen.Sale walked off to a standing ovation from the Fenway faithful. No other Red Sox pitcher has started a game by retiring as many as 12 consecutive batters this year; he retired 14 of 14 before the C...Suspect critical after officer-involved shooting in Morgan Park

Minnesota United provided two thrilling results to advance in the Leagues Cup knockout rounds over the previous 10 days.The third time Friday was not charmed; it was cataclysmic.After the Loons went down to 10 men, MNUFC kept wilting and Nashville kept rolling, stacking goals in 5-0 blowout win in a Leagues Cup quarterfinal at GEODIS Park in Tennessee.“Then you look at it, and you’re thinking, well, we might have gotten off lightly with five,” manager Adrian Heath said.United was one win away from playing in the new tournament’s semifinal, but remain a club that often falls short in the game before the real big game. They have done so regularly throughout four straight MLS Cup Playoff appearances, with the 2019 U.S. Open Cup final the lone exception.Instead of the buzz of playing one of North America’s top teams — Los Angeles FC or Monterrey — in a semifinal Tuesday and guaranteeing at least a third-place match, with a shot for a coveted Concacaf Champions Cup ber...Latest news
