Omani researcher contributes to international study on ancient marine life
Engineer and researcher Najat Al Fadhili from the Industrial Innovation Academy participated in a scientific study that examined the response of ancient marine organisms—which lived more than 60 million years ago—to environmental changes at the Saywan geological site in the Sultanate of Oman, one of the most prominent geological sites of high scientific value.
This participation comes within the framework of the Academy's efforts to stimulate the scientific research environment and publish peer-reviewed scientific papers, as part of its efforts to consolidate the concepts of innovation and environmental sustainability, and achieve the goals of Oman Vision 2040.
This study contributes to enhancing understanding of the impact of climate change on fragile marine environments. In addition to supporting a knowledge-based economy by empowering national competencies in earth and climate sciences, the Industrial Innovation Academy emphasises that this type of research is not merely an academic contribution, but rather constitutes a strategic pillar for supporting resource sustainability, achieving sustainable development goals, and providing a national model for investing in scientific knowledge.

Oman's skies to witness peak of Perseid meteor shower on Tuesday
Muscat: The skies of Oman are currently graced by the Perseid meteor shower, visible to the naked eye across various governorates—particularly in dark locations away from light pollution. The phenomenon, which continues until 24 August, will reach its peak from Tuesday evening until the early hours of Wednesday morning. It is one of the most captivating astronomical events for stargazers and astrophotography enthusiasts worldwide.

Australia's Great Barrier Reef sees record coral loss
Perth: The Great Barrier Reef suffered its largest annual decline in live coral over the past year, according to a report released Wednesday by the Australian Institute of Marine Science. Australian scientists monitoring the reef documented the devastating effects of a mass coral bleaching event that occurred in early 2024. "The [Great Barrier Reef] experienced unprecedented levels of heat stress, which caused the most spatially extensive and severe bleaching recorded to date," the report found. Surveys of the world's largest reef found that two of its three regions recorded the steepest coral decline since monitoring began in 1986. According to the report, the northern and southern regions of the Great Barrier Reef were hit hardest, with coral cover dropping by between one-quarter and one-third after several years of steady growth. Scientists documented the most widespread bleaching event since monitoring began nearly 40 years ago, driven by record-high ocean temperatures in 2024 that triggered "unprecedented levels of heat stress." "We are now seeing increased volatility in the levels of hard coral cover," said Mike Emslie, head of the institute's long-term monitoring program. "This is a phenomenon that emerged over the last 15 years and points to an ecosystem under stress," he added. Emslie said the primary cause of the decline in coral cover is climate change. "We have seen coral cover oscillate between record lows and record highs in a relatively short amount of time, where previously such fluctuations were moderate," he added. The reef stretches for about 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) off the coast of Queensland in northeastern Australia. Despite the damage, Emslie said the reef remains an "amazing place." "It is still worth fighting for. We can't throw our arms up and give up," he said.

Omani research team uses AI to detect genetic heart disorders
Muscat: A groundbreaking research initiative has made significant progress in identifying the genetic causes of cardiomyopathy in the Sultanate of Oman. The study, titled 'Implementation of Machine Learning Approach to Predict Pathogenicity of Genetic Variants Associated with Cardiomyopathy,' utilises Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) methodologies to investigate the underlying genetic contributors to this complex heart condition. The research was led by Dr. Ahmed Al Amri, Consultant of Molecular Genetics Lab and Head of Training and Professional Staff Development at the National Genetics Centre of the Royal Hospital. Cardiomyopathy, a heterogeneous group of myocardial disorders, remains a significant health burden worldwide. In the Sultanate of Oman, the genetic basis of the disease has been insufficiently characterised, hindering effective diagnosis and intervention. This study aimed to bridge that gap by conducting genetic analysis on a cohort of Omani families affected by cardiomyopathy. Dr. Ahmed Al Amri explained that central to the research is the development of a novel AI-based analysis model called 'CardioVar.' This model is designed to enhance the interpretation of WES data through the integration of more than 50,000 genetic variants and mutations linked to cardiomyopathy, supported by multiple AI algorithms to ensure analytical precision. The research project achieved a diagnostic success rate of over 80%, uncovering both known and previously unreported genetic mutations, some of which involve genes not previously linked to cardiomyopathy. These findings offer valuable insight into the genetic landscape of the disease within the Omani population and present new opportunities for further research to confirm the clinical relevance of novel variants. The AI model significantly improved both the speed and accuracy of genetic analysis, demonstrating its practical value in overcoming the limitations of traditional sequencing approaches. Dr. Al Amri emphasised that this approach not only advances the understanding of the genetic basis of cardiomyopathy in the Sultanate of Oman but also provides a scalable framework for implementing AI in genomic medicine, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and personalised care. The multidisciplinary research team included Dr. Ahmed Al Amri, Dr. Aisha Al Balushi, Nibras Al Mahrami, Dr. Musallam Al Ariami, Dr. Nadia Al Hashimi, Dr. Mohammed Al Rawahi, Dr. Tuqa Al Lawati, Dr. Bushra Al Shamsi, Dr. Fahad Al Hattali, and Ms. Mashael Al Balushi. Together, they have contributed to a practical model that blends clinical knowledge, laboratory science, and artificial intelligence to achieve high-impact results. This research not only advances the scientific understanding of inherited cardiomyopathy in the Sultanate of Oman but also exemplifies how AI can transform genetic diagnostics. It stands as a national model for the integration of precision medicine into routine clinical care, with plans to expand the study to include other hereditary heart conditions and incorporate its findings into everyday healthcare practices.
