Growth in the sea comes down to a struggle for iron

...ungi have learned to scavenge some of this iron by building a trap. They create molecules called siderophores that are able to lock up iron. And in many cases, only the organism that built the molecule in the first place has the key to unlock it, says Wells. "It's basically chemical warfare by the bacteria i...

Newly discovered virus linked to childhood lung disorders and Kawasaki disease

...s were identifiedin which the sequence of chemical building blocks of the gene differedfrom that of known human coronaviruses. The Yale investigators, termingthe novel virus indicated by their findings the New Haven coronavirus,then used probes specific for the virus to screen respiratory specimensfrom 895 sy...

Inexpensive, mass-produced genes core of synthetic biology advances at UH

... research. “Synthetic genes are like a box ofLego building blocks,?Gao said. “Their organization is very complex,even in simple organisms. By making programmed synthesis of geneseconomical, we can provide more efficient tools to aid the efforts ofresearchers to understand the molecular mechanisms that regula...

Color-blind method opens new doors in DNA sequencing

...leus of every human cell is made of long chains of building blocks called nucleotides. DNA is made up of just four types of nucleotides ?referred to as A, C, G and T ?and is organized in such a way that A binds T and G binds C, forming a double helical structure. Each person's genome consists of a unique orde...

Poplar trees redirect resources in response to simulated attack

...ut there's a suspicion that plants also respond by building up tolerance, for example by putting aside more carbon into storage so it will be available to help the plant spring back to life once the attack has passed. Using the techniques developed at Brookhaven, we now have a way to find out." To simulate a...

Scientists identify new model Of NK cell development

...t the origin of human NK cells might be wrong. In building a case to support their beliefs, they first identified the NK precursor cell, then, they measured the number of the precursors in different parts of the body. Through flow cytometry, they discovered that while NK precursors make up about 1 percent of...
