Using a “Pantranscriptome,” Researchers Create a Toolkit for RNA Sequencing Analysis
RNA sequencing, or RNA-seq, is a method used to analyze the transcriptome, or the set of all RNA molecules present in a cell or tissue.…
Marine Parasites have been Decimated by Warming Oceans, but this is not a Good Thing
Marine parasites play an important role in the ocean ecosystem, serving as food for other animals and helping to control population levels of their host…
Determining Enzyme Gene Expression in Filamentous Fungi to Facilitate the Production of Biomass Energy
Enzyme gene expression in filamentous fungi can be manipulated to increase the efficiency of biomass energy production. This can be achieved by identifying key genes…
Nutrient Element-Induced Plant Disease Resistance Has a Found Molecular Mechanism
Researchers have discovered a molecular mechanism that explains how certain nutrient elements can induce plant disease resistance. The mechanism involves the activation of a class…
Diabetes may be Caused by Gut Bacteria
There is evidence to suggest that the gut microbiome may play a role in the development of diabetes. Studies have shown that individuals with diabetes…
Creating Mucosal Vaccines against Respiratory Viruses
Mucosal vaccines, which are administered through the nose or mouth, have the potential to provide protection against respiratory viruses by stimulating an immune response in…
Second Type of Stem Cell was found in the Mouse Brain
It is possible that a study or research has recently discovered a second type of stem cell in the mouse brain. Stem cells are cells…
Ancient Genomes reveal a previously unknown history of Human Evolution
Ancient genomes can provide valuable information about the evolutionary history of human populations. By analyzing DNA from ancient human remains, scientists can learn about the…
When the Body’s B cell Training Facilities are Open After Hours
If germinal centers, which are tiny biological structures, are the immune system’s arsenals, producing antibodies to combat harmful pathogens, then B cells are its ammunition…
Plant Roots are Reprogrammed using Synthetic Genetic Circuits
Synthetic genetic circuits are a type of technology that allows scientists to manipulate the genetic makeup of plants in order to change their behavior or…
Chlamydiae Broaden our Understanding of the Evolution of Intracellular Bacteria
Chlamydiae are a group of obligate intracellular bacteria that have a unique life cycle, characterized by both a replicative, reticulate stage inside host cells and…
