She later separated to pursue a master's degree in a plant synthetic biology lab. I had joined the lab the week before, and we spent four years working at the cutting edge of academic plant science research. SYNBIO AXLR8R TEAMS | 81 During this time we discovered a shared professional ...
We also analyzed the degree of overlap among well-replicated genera within each type of primary producer, showing that coral genera shared a high proportion of metabolites (67%, Fig. 3b) while macroalgae had fewer commonalities among genera (54%, Fig. 3c). Additionally, 31% of the macroalgae...
Similarly, for DGDG species, DGDG (34:7) levels increased in cold stress and DGDG (34:4) decreased in the cold stress. In general, the lipids with a higher degree of desaturation increased in abundance in the cold stress samples relative to the control....
Under these conditions in the southern hemisphere, flowering occurs close to the autumnal equinox (March 21st) and is delayed by approximately 2 days for each additional degree of latitude (Brett, 1951; Moore and Nuss, 1987). Flowering induction is only effective after the juvenile period has ...
It’s time for environmentalists to give nuclear a fair go This is an article byBarry Brookandme,published today inThe Conversation. I’m republishing it here. — Should nuclear energy be part of Australia’s (and many other countries’) future energy mix? We think so, particularly aspart...
They greatly under-estimate the incentive problems and the degree of focus that is required to get ANYTHING done in politics. They greatly exaggerate the potential for ‘rational argument’ to change minds and wrongly assume somewhere at the top of power ‘there must be’ a group of really ...
It was darkly humorous, but seriously, they darn near killed themselves trying to comply with our culture’s constant drumbeat advising us to maximize and hack ourselves into some kind of perfection. I’m not quite a crone yet, haven’t finished my degree, but I’m going to go ahead and...
To test between these possibilities, we first systematically examined the degree of coding sequence variation in human genes grouped by AT/GC content or by degree of local tandem gene duplication, using the gnomAD dataset of rare single-nucleotide variants ascertained from whole exome sequencing of ...
IGF group has two parts, IGF1 and IGF2, which have receptors called IGF1R and IGF2R. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein, also known as IGFBP1-6, comprises a total of six binding proteins [21]. IGFs exhibit a degree of structural similarity of approximately 50% to pro-insulin, ...
And that is why, even to this day, nobody uses drugs. On the other hand, biology is gratifyingly easy to change. Sometimes it’s just giving people more iron supplements. But the best example is lead. Banning lead was probably kind of controversial at the time, but in the end some ...
