UCSB scientists probe sea floor venting to gain understanding of early life on Earth

...SB scientists are making new contributions to this field of inquiry in their studies of seafloor hydrothermal fluid discharge into the Earth's oceans, which has been occurring ever since the oceans first formed four billion years ago. Conditions below the sea floor may most closely mimic the environment wh...

UAB scientists discover the origin of a mysterious physical force

Genome of deadly amoeba shows surprising complexity, evidence of lateral gene transfer

... disease can be fatal, especially in children. One field study in Bangladesh found that E. histolytica infection occurred at least once in 80 percent of 300 children. Over a period of four years, about a third of the children suffered from amebic colitis, an ulceration of the stomach lining. Petri says th...

Another Look Finds Promising Proteomics Test is Not Biologically Plausible
