Spinal Tap -- Using Cactus Spines to Isolate DNA
March 5, 2013 — In the family Cactaceae, isolation of genetic material can be difficult due to the presence of polysaccharide-based mucilage content and other secondary compounds. Although important for water ... > full story -
Assembling the Transcriptome of a Noxious Weed: New Resources for Studying How Plants Invade
March 5, 2013 — Scientists have assembled transcriptomes of a noxious weed, Brachypodium sylvaticum, or slender false brome. The transcriptome provides an extensive genetic tool for studying how invasive species, ... > full story -
New Insight Into Double-Protected Dance of Cell Division
March 5, 2013 — Biochemists recently gained new insight into how protein synthesis and degradation help to regulate the delicate ballet of cell division. In particular, they reveal how two proteins shelter each ... > full story -
