| How pandas survive solely on bamboo: Evolutionary history Posted: 30 Jun 2022 08:44 AM PDT An ancient fossil reveals the earliest panda to survive solely on bamboo and the evolutionary history of panda's false thumbs. |
| The pair of Orcas deterring Great White Sharks Posted: 29 Jun 2022 05:29 PM PDT A pair of Orca (Killer Whales) that have been terrorizing and killing Great White Sharks off the coast of South Africa since 2017 has managed to drive large numbers of the sharks from their natural aggregation site. |
| Shining some light on the obscure proteome Posted: 29 Jun 2022 01:10 PM PDT Mass-spectrometry based proteomics is the big-data science of proteins that allows the monitoring of the abundance of thousands of proteins in a sample at once. Therefore, it is a particularly well-suited readout for discovering which proteins are targeted by any small molecule. An international research team has investigated this using chemical proteomics. |
| Norovirus and other 'stomach viruses' can spread through saliva Posted: 29 Jun 2022 12:03 PM PDT A class of viruses known to cause severe diarrheal diseases -- including the one famous for widespread outbreaks on cruise ships -- can grow in the salivary glands of mice and spread through their saliva, scientists have discovered. The findings show that a new route of transmission exists for these common viruses, which afflict billions of people each year worldwide and can be deadly. |
| Researchers develop online portal to show how biases in RNA sequences affect gene expression Posted: 29 Jun 2022 12:03 PM PDT Researchers explain the importance of identifying and understanding how differences between tissues and cells alter gene expression without changing the underlying genetic code. |
| Researchers identify the microbes in 100-year-old snail guts Posted: 29 Jun 2022 12:03 PM PDT The gut 'microbiomes' of long-dead animals could give researchers surprising insights into how climate change and other factors have shaped the Rocky Mountains and other ecosystems over decades. |
| Observing different mating tactics in the Japanese scorpionfly Posted: 27 Jun 2022 07:02 AM PDT Alternative mating strategies of the Japanese scorpionfly have been studied sparingly over the years, primarily focusing on individual populations. Now, scientists compare the mating habits of male Japanese scorpionflies from two locations -- Aichi and Okayama -- and reveal that the weaker males of these regional populations adopt distinctly different mating tactics to attract female scorpionflies after losing to the stronger males, possibly indicating a genetic influence in their mating behavior. |
