Scientists track stealth DNA elements in primate evolution
Louisiana State University scientists in the Department of Biological Sciences have unraveled the details of a 25-million-year-old evolutionary process in the human genome. Specific DNA sequences that appear to have persisted in a latent state for long periods of time may not be simply lying dormant. Instead, the researchers say that these elements have played a crucial role in human evolution by...Sunflower speciation highlights roles for transposable elements in evolution
In a finding that furthers our understanding of how hybridization may contribute to genome changes and the evolution of new species, researchers have found that the genomes of three sunflower species that arose in evolution as hybrids of the same two parental types have undergone a massive proliferation of genetic entities known as transposable elements. The findings are reported by Mark Ungerer...NIS-Elements Imaging Software from Nikon
Description:Nikon's NIS-Elements revolutionizes imaging software for the microscopy market by combining automated intelligence to microscopes, cameras, components and peripherals with powerful archiving, analysis, visualization and achiving tools.

Stratagene Cloning Systems, Inc. Enhancer elements are the convergent points for many intracellular signaltransduction pathways. For simple, rapid and convenient assessment of the invivo activation of these pathways, Stratagene has d...Scientists Identify Key Element For Future Cancer Vaccine
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have successfully identified a molecule, which could be deployed as a vaccination agent in future// to stop growing cancers. The findings of the study, which is so far based on animal experiments, appears in the online edition of the journal Nature Medicine. Researchers at KI and Leiden University Medical Centre in Holland jointly conducted t...An Element in Green Tea Could Fight HIV
London- Green tea is popular for its abundant health benefits. Now, British scientists, armed with scientific evidence, have placed on record// the benefits of a vital element in green tea, which may help fight HIV infection. The report has been published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. A group of American and British researchers have discovered that an important el...Harassment in School Affects Majority of Elementary Students
A simple questionnaire prepared by researchers has found that nine out of ten elementary students// have been bullied by their peers. To add more to that it was found that at least six out of ten children reported themselves indulging in some type of bullying in the past year. The survey explored two forms of bullying: direct, such as threatening physical harm, and indirect, such a...Choice is a Key Element in Success for Smokers Who Want to Quit
Smokers who have a say in how they quit are more likely to try kicking the habit and are more successful, according to new research at the University of Rochester . Rochester researcher Dr. Geoffrey Williams associate professor of medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, will unveil new findings at a Toronto conference this month that demonstrate pat...Milli-Q Element System (non-TOC)
Description:Millipore has developed a range of Milli-Q ultrapure water systems designed to match specific water quality requirements. Each of the five new Milli-Q systems is designed to specifically target contaminants detrimental to particular applications such as HPLC, molecular biology and ICP-MS.
