the first gene (and its encoded protein) identified as central to the mitochrondrions uptake of calcium. The work appears in the August 8 advance online issue of Nature.
This latest advance enhances their fluormodule technology by causing it to glow an order of magnitude brighter than typical fluorescent proteins. The new fluoromodules are five - to seven-times bright
A unique blob-like creature that lived in the ocean approximately 425 million years ago is revealed in a 3D computer model in research published today in the journal Biology Letters. The model is help
Understand the function of genes known as large intergenic non-coding RNAs or lincRNAs. lincRNAs have recently been uncovered, and many play a critical role in cell development and regulation
Thomas Kunz and Winifred Frick discuss white nose syndrome and its implications for the little brown bat, which Kunz says could become extinct in the Northeast within 20 years.
when aphids are raised on plants genetically engineered to emit a compound that warns surrounding aphids of a predator, they become accustomed to the chemical and no longer respond to it - even when a
A new study by Herman Pontzer, PhD, assistant professor of anthropology in Arts & Sciences, suggests that orangutans use less energy than even sendentary humans.
Samples from 23 species of North American bats lead to new look at cross-species disease transmission.Although cases of rabies in humans are rare in the U.S., bats are the most common source infection
