Evolutionary scrap-heap challenge: Antifreeze fish make sense out of junk DNA
Scientists at the University of Illinois have discovered an antifreeze-protein gene in cod that has evolved from non-coding or 'junk' DNA. Since the creation of these antifreeze proteins is directly driven by polar glaciation, by studying their evolutionary history the scientists hope to pinpoint the time of onset of freezing conditions in the polar and subpolar seas. Professor Cheng will present...CORNING CELL SCRAPER, SMALL ,STERILE from Sigma-Aldrich

MADISON, Wis. — With the University of Wisconsin System and the state's Department of Administration on the verge of creating two separate statewide networks, Gov. Jim Doyle has stepped in and asked them to combine their efforts. "It's more sensible for taxpayers to have a unified nework rather than creating two," said Doyle spokesperson Dan Leistikow. Initial discussions...World’s First ‘green’ Skyscraper to Be Built in Duai
Dubai is planning to build the world's first "green" skyscraper that will produce more electricity than it actually uses as part of the// emirate's efforts to remain an international trendsetter in building technology. The 312-metre high skyscraper will feature revolving floors with the entire building equipped with wind turbines and solar energy panels that will make it independent o...Study Focus on Environmental Hazards Posed by IT Scraps
When people think of climate change, they usually focus on cars or factories. Yet a study commissioned by chipmaker AMD has shown that 14 large-scale //power production plants must run worldwide just to provide electricity to computer centers. Then there are millions of PCs in private or corporate settings to be figured in as well. Not to mention the manufacture and disposal of the mac...Conjunctival Scrapings for Cytology
