Decoding the Prehistory of Aurochs: A Genomic Study
An international study decodes the prehistory of aurochs through genomic analysis, revealing their evolutionary history and the impact of climate change on their genetic …
In Search of a Religiosity Gene
I avoided regular Google and mainstream media, looking for facts rather than opinions, and included the terms "inheritance" and "religiosity" in my search. To …
Found ! gene regulation revealed in search that began in water-loving, one-celled organism
After an intrepid, decade-long search, scientists say they have found a new role for a pair of enzymes that regulate genome function and, when …
Mutations across animal kingdom shed new light on aging
A new study compares the accumulation of mutations across many animal species and has shed new light on decades-old questions about the role of …
New advances in the protein folding process thermodynamics
In biophysics, the kinetic states of molecules play a determining role in the metabolic and physiological processes in which they take part. Now, a …
Mirror image biomolecule helps marine sea squirts lose their tails
Researchers have found that D-serine, the structural mirror image of L-serine, regulates tissue migration in the marine organism Ciona during its juvenile-to-adult transformation. D-serine …
Discovering molecular 'team-work' underlying nitrate assimilation in a unicellular red alga
The mechanisms suppressing nitrate assimilation in plants under nitrogen-repleted condition are poorly known, but researchers may have made a breakthrough. They have recently studied …
Genetic mechanisms of coral metamorphosis identified
Researchers discovered the gene expression regulation mechanisms that drive coral transition from a floating larvae to one that sits sedentary in reefs.
