Ocean microbes keep the planet healthy by cycling nutrients and capturing carbon, but a detailed and precise map of where ...

Biologists are confronting a problem they thought they had mostly solved: what, exactly, counts as life. A wave of ...

Researchers discover a unique genetic code in Antarctic archaea that encodes a rare amino acid, potentially advancing protein ...

A newly discovered promoter element "start" points to a shared regulatory syntax for controlling transcription initiation in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes. DNA is often described as the language ...

Welcome to a place where geometry meets dread. In Save The Shapes, you’ll wander through a bizarre little house, uncovering its secrets room by room. The shapes that live here are vanishing one by one ...

There are few hard and fast rules in the study of life, but perhaps the closest we get is the central dogma of molecular biology: DNA is transcribed to RNA, which gets translated into proteins. The ...

Rounded tapered nails are a blend of almond and oval nails The shape looks great on any nail length and elongates the fingers Some of the best manicures for rounded tapered nails are French tips and ...

After more than three centuries, a geometry problem that originated with a royal bet has been solved. Imagine you’re holding two equal-size dice. Is it possible to bore a tunnel through one die that’s ...

At Multiple UK & US Research Institutions, scientists discovered that diverse archaea produce special enzymes called peptidoglycan hydrolases, which specifically break down bacterial cell walls ...

A first look into the molecular defenses of archaea highlights the importance of surveying diverse microbes to discover new types of antimicrobials As bacteria become increasingly resistant to ...
