New knowledge improves rice quality

...d International Rice Research Institute, said. "It really is a very exciting time to be involved in such research, especially because we can take the new scientific knowledge generated by activities such as the recent sequencing of the rice genome, and use it to improve the lives of the poor by providing ei...

Molecule that destroys bone also protects it, new research shows

...eriodontal disease. "It turns out that IL-17 is really important in regulating neutrophils by causing other cells in the vicinity to recruit these infection fighters to the infection site," Gaffen said.

Automatic identification of protein's critical features from the structure

...ce nowadays since it express who we are, but is it really possible to tell the essence of an individual from its form? The answer to that question seems to be related to fashion and glamour, yet a group of scientists from the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico and the Buck Institute in the USA, were ab...

'Short-circuit' found in ocean circulation

...e to understand its circulation before we can make really confident predictions about how the climate is going to change over the next 100 years. “This is a piece of knowledge that will help us do that. This tells us how an important part of it works? The research shows that a combination of rapid mi...

DOE JGI sets 'gold standard' for metagenomic data analysis

... will work as efficiently for metagenomes, "but we really didn't know." Nikos Kyrpides, DOE JGI Genome Biology Program Head, said that, to evaluate the magnitude of this problem and identify the inherent pitfalls, "we have constructed three simulated metagenomic datasets of varying complexity by mixing p...

Parasites' impact goes beyond host to affect ecosystem

... by the snails. "The parasite’s life cycle is a really amazing strategy for an organism that doesn’t have a brain," says Byers, who predicts that anywhere gulls are prevalent, the C. lingua trematode would also be prevalent. A laboratory experiment confirmed Wood’s and Byers?hypothesis: snails infecte...
