A new portable biosensor detects traces of contaminants in food more quickly and cheaply

... but the control of these limits is carried out in laboratories with expensive, slow and bulky equipment. The sensor developed by scientists at the UAB and the CSIC will allow the detection of doses of atrazine at levels of 0.006 micrograms per litre, much lower than the maximum concentrations allowed by Euro...

Genome of yellow fever/dengue fever mosquito sequenced

...Tu coordinated efforts with TIGR and five research laboratories in the United States, Spain, and France to annotate transposable elements (TEs) in the Ae. aegypti genome. TEs are segments of nucleic acids, or genetic material, that move around the genome and have a significant impact on its structure and size. ...

From the deep -- Researchers find new species of sea anemone

...o State University . Daly runs one of the very few laboratories in the world equipped to study sea anemones. "These creatures were so cool simply because we knew that no sea anemone had ever been found on a whale fall," she said. Once a whale dies, its carcass sinks to the bottom of the ocean. Scientists ca...

Human genetic 'deserts' are teeming with significant life

...fessor Reymond’s team, in collaboration with other laboratories in Switzerland, the UK, the US and Spain, now intends to carry out the same kind of analysis for two complete human chromosomes. “I will be surprised if we do not find the same kind of variety in these structures”, he says. “Our work has shown tha...

Study shows big power of small RNAs, not just proteins, in halting cancer

...e. “Collaboration among different CSHL research laboratories has not only found that p53 can arrest the growth and even eradicate cancers, but we’ve revealed something very surprising about what makes this pathway so powerful,” said Hannon. CSHL research published by Nature earlier this year, concluded that ev...

Research identifies protein that signals flowering in squash plants

...e. florigen) that does. Recent work in a number of laboratories has focused on a role for FT protein and/or FT mRNA as the florigenic signal, and evidence is building that the FT protein is responsible, at least in tomato, rice, and the model plant Arabidopsis (which is in the mustard or cabbage family). In resea...

Genomic Analysis Uncovers New Targets for HIV Vaccine

...is and future CHAVI studies should help individual laboratories across the world perform research to better understand the virus." When someone becomes infected with HIV, the amount of virus in the blood spikes as the virus multiplies. After this peak, the amount of virus in the blood, known as the viral load, g...
