Fly Study Finds Two New Drivers of RNA Editing
August 1, 2013 — A new study finds that RNA editing is not only regulated by sequences and structures near the editing sites but also by ones found much farther away. One newly discovered structure gives an editing ... > full story -
Genome-Wide Profiling of microRNAs Demonstrates How Increasing CO2 and Temperatures Affect Plant Development
July 31, 2013 — A study on the mechanisms of how plants respond and adapt to elevated levels of carbon dioxide and higher temperatures has opened a new perspective in climate research. Researchers found that ... > full story -
'Highway from Hell' Fueled Costa Rican Volcano
July 31, 2013 — Scientists suggest that the 1960s eruption of Costa Rica's largest stratovolcano was triggered by magma rising from the mantle over a few short months, rather than thousands of years or more, as many ... > full story -
Bird Brains Predate Birds Themselves: 'Flight-Ready' Brain Was Present in Some Non-Avian Dinosaurs, CT Scans Indicate
July 31, 2013 — New research provides evidence that dinosaurs evolved the brainpower necessary for flight well before they actually took to the air as birds. Based on computed tomographic scans, the study takes a ... > full story -
Flexible Tail of the Prion Protein Poisons Brain Cells
July 31, 2013 — Prion proteins are the infectious pathogens that cause Mad Cow Disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. They occur when a normal prion protein becomes deformed and clumped. The naturally occurring ... > full story -
Robots Strike Fear in the Hearts of Fish: Anxious Zebrafish Help Researchers Understand How Alcohol Affects Fear
July 31, 2013 — The latest in a series of experiments testing the ability of robots to influence live animals shows that bio-inspired robots can not only elicit fear in zebrafish, but that this reaction can be ... > full story -
Sediment Trapped Behind Dams Makes Them 'Hot Spots' for Greenhouse Gas Emissions
July 31, 2013 — With the "green" reputation of large hydroelectric dams already in question, scientists are reporting that millions of smaller dams on rivers around the world make an important contribution to the ... > full story -
