The elimination of all animal agriculture in the following 15 years would severely diminish greenhouse gas emissions and remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Research into the climatological impacts of raising animals for food implicates that eliminating all animal agriculture has the potentially to considerably change the direction of global warming. The project is a cooperation...
A genome study carried out by Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center scientists to search for variants in a gene thought about an essential building block for microscopic structures that manufacture proteins took a shocking twist. Human ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes are essential for constructing ribosomes or mechanisms that translate proteins. The study findings, to be...
Drug-like molecules hold great promise for developing new strategies in cancer cell therapy. Credit: Artem Podrez/ Pexels.com Drug-like molecules hold great promise for developing new strategies in cancer cell therapy. These molecules can specifically target cancer cells and disrupt their growth and proliferation, while sparing normal cells. Ten years ago, genome sequencing unveiled a...
University of Washington and Microsoft researchers have introduced a new class of reporter proteins that can be directly read by a commercially available nanopore sensing device. Raw nanopore signals stream from the MinION device, which contains an array of hundreds of nanopore sensors. Each color represents data from an individual nanopore. The team uses...

This can influence a new class of medical diagnostics along with a host of various other applications. This technology entails customizable collections of proteins affixed to...
The aerial scene depicts two Late Devonian early tetrapods – Ichthyostega and Acanthostega – coming out of the water to move on land. Footprints trail behind the animals to show a sense of movement.

They discovered that the binding of proteins to one point of a DNA molecule could affect an additional binding point at a...
Chemistry is the study of chain reactions taking place in between the various elements and also substances. This is among the significant branches of the Scientific research stream after Physics and also Biology. Whatever around us uses up space, and mass is referred to as 'matter,' which is mainly constructed from the small bits...
