New Clues Add 40,000 Years to Age of Human Species
Nearly 40 years after an historic anthropology expedition to Ethiopia's Lake Turkana basin, researchers have uncovered evidence suggesting human bones found at that time are roughly 195,000 years old. The researchers believe the findings may bolster the “Out-of-Africa?hypothesis that suggests we all trace to an ancient line that first evolved in Africa and then displaced other hominids as recent...Ants Genetic Engineering Leads To Species Interdependency
Findings reported last week reveal how anevolutionary innovation involving the sharing of genes between two antspecies has given rise to a deep-seated dependency between them for thesurvival of both species populations.The new work illustrates how genetic exchange through interbreedingbetween two species can give rise to a system of interdependence at ahigh level of biological organization...Same mutation aided evolution in many fish species, Stanford study finds
After decades of laboratory work studying how animals evolve, researchers sometimes need to put on the hip waders, pull out the fishing net and go learn how their theory compares to the real world. According to a Stanford University School of Medicine study published in the March 25 issue of Science, Mother Nature is more predictable than lab experiments suggest. In a diverse group of fish...Fibril Shape Is The Basis Of Prion Strains And Cross-species Prion Infection
New research on prions, the infectious proteins behind "mad cow" disease and Creutzfeld-Jakob disease in humans, suggests that the ability of prions in one species to infect other species depends on the shape of the toxic threadlike fibers produced by the prion. Two studies on the topic appear in the 8 April issue of the journal Cell. Although research suggests that prions from one specie...Interspecies Trial Array 2: N Brain, N Liver, N Muscle, N Kidney from CHEMICON
Description:Chemicon Select Tissue Arrays are intended for laboratory research use only. The individual tissues were fixed in neutral buffered formalin and embedded in paraffin. Tissue identification and diagnosis was performed by certified pathologists. Tissue cores were removed from their paraffin blocks and relocated into a new recipient paraffin block, in an array pattern, using Chemicons Advanced Tis...Interspecies Trial Array 1: N Breast, N Prostate, N Lung, N Colon from CHEMICON

Description:The IHC Select Immunoperoxidase Secondary Detection System uses biotin-avidin-HRP complexed antibodies to detect rat or goat IgG in the Primary Antibody. The primary antibody binds to specific antigens present in the specimen. Any excess antibody is removed by washing. Next, the Secondary Antibody Reagent (conjugated to biotin) is added and will react with the primary antibody present on the tiss...Multiple Species Tissue Array - Lung Tissue from ProSci, Inc
Description:The Multiple Species Tissue Array (MSTA) slides were designed to study protein expression patterns in different cells and tissues from multiple species. Tissue slices from three different species are mounted on each MSTA slide which can then be treated as a single histological slide for H&E staining, immunohistochemistry, or hybridization. This format allows a rapid analysis of p...Endangered species may be successfully cloned in another animal's womb
Scientists for the first time have found a way for the survival of endangered animal species of the world. In a major breakthrough a Massachusetts scientists who engineered the feat has managed to clone cells from an endangered animal (Asian Gaur) and successfully impregnated an Iowa cow with the clone. The scientific journal Cloning has reported in its upcoming edition that...Humans force yet another species to extinction
Humans are known to damage. And a new study says just that.Due to deforestation and genetic evidence the study points to a catastrophic collapse in orangutan populations// living in the fragmented forests of the Kinabatangan Wildlife Sanctuary in Sabah, Malaysia. Benoit Goossens, Lounès Chikhi, The main researcher, Michael Bruford, points that the collapse occurred within the past...'Expedition Everest' Finds New Species
In a two month expedition to remote areas in the shadow of Mt Everest, researchers from Conservation International (CI) and Disney's Animal Kingdom found a huge// treasure of species, both plant and animal, that were previously unknown to science. The discoveries and observations announced today, coincident with opening of the Expedition Everest attraction at Walt Disney World Resort, i...Species Linking Fish And Land Animals Found
A new species that provides the missing evolutionary link between fish and the first animals that were able to walk onto the land about 375 million years ago//, has been discovered by paleontologists. This new species called Tiktaalik roseae sports a skull, a neck, ribs and parts of the limbs that appear identical to four-legged animals known as tetrapods. These fossils, found on Elles...Viruses Can Cross Species Barrier
A report in the September issue of the American Journal of Primatology says that viruses that can cross the species barrier and jump from monkeys to humans //are a danger to human health. A primate expert at the University of Washington has edited this special report on disease risk analysis. The special issue covers a range of topics, including an estimate of the viral transmission ri...Antigen-Antibody Pen For Biotin-tagged antibodies (all species)
Description:Advantages of using the Antigen-Antibody Pens-Using a proprietary and patented technology, ADI has designed and developed specialized fountain pens, called Antigen-Antibody pens-TM, that will allow researchers to deliver or write/mark the blotting membranes in any form or shape or size. A specially formulated antigen-bonded colored dyes helps to see antigen being written on the membrane. One can...Yersinia Species Antibodies, IgA & IgG by Western Blot
