Environmental lessons from tsunami as world's coastal population doubles

...ch as coral reefs and coastal mangrove forests can adapt to change and recover from storms and floods and still provide services of protecting the coast and absorbing pollution. But once these ecosystems are put under pressure by coastal development, they may lose their resilience. Similarly, if communiti...

New technique could alter field of mouse genetics

...enetics. Researchers in Xu's group first tried to adapt the P element for use in mice and to improve the efficiency of the Sleeping Beauty transposon system. When those efforts failed, they chose piggyBac because its enzyme looked and acted differently and it had a good track record in a range of insects....
