Past experience of pheromones induces dominant courtship behavior in fruit flies
By investigating the interplay between pheromone signaling and behavior in fruit flies, researchers have begun to understand how an adult fly's earlier experience as a young individual can influence its behavior towards other flies as an adult. In particular, the researchers found that pheromone signals in the context of experience with adult flies can influence how young flies will behave once t...Fly's courtship sheds light on the formation of innate behaviors
By studying how genes influence the development and use of neural circuits that control a specific set of mating behaviors in the fruit fly, researchers have provided new insight into how instinctual behaviors ?those that are not based on prior experience ?arise in the developing nervous system. The work is reported by Jean-Christophe Billeter and other members of Stephen Goodwin's group at the U...Cocoa 'vitamin' health benefits could outshine penicillin
The health benefits of epicatechin, a compound found in cocoa, are so striking that it may rival penicillin and anaesthesia in terms of importance to public health, reports Marina Murphy in Chemistry & Industry, the magazine of the SCI. Norman Hollenberg, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, told C&I that epicatechin is so important that it should be considered a vitamin....Electric fish conduct electric duets in aquatic courtship

Description:The electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) is a powerful tool for evaluating DNA-protein interactions. Often referred to as gel shift or gel retardation, the assay is based on the principle that when subjected to electrophoresis, free DNA will migrate differently than a DNA-protein complex. The Pierce LightShift Chemiluminescent EMSA Kit is a nonradioactive system for performing EMSA using P...Girls Outshines Boys In CICSE Exam
The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) declared the results for both class 10 (ICSE) and class 12 (ISC) here Wednesday// with girls outshining boys for the second consecutive year. The pass percentage of girls in the Class 10 examination was 96.9 as against 95.29 among boys. Similarly, in Class 12, 95.96 percent of the girls were successful as compared to 91...Pharaoh Hatshepsut Died in Pain Due to Cancer
Queen Hatshepsut, Egypt's greatest female Pharaoh died in pain probably due to caner that spread to her pelvic bones, a new study by researchers has revealed. The daughter of Pharaoh Tuthmosis I and wife of Tuthmosis II, her half-brother, Hatshepsut reigned from 1498 to 1483 BC as the fifth pharaoh of the 18th Dynasty, whose later members included Akhenaton and Tutankhamun. <b...TSH EIA Thyroid Function 025-BC-1001
