In experiments with the bacterial genus Bartonella, Israeli researchers discovered a new mechanism of mutation that the pathogen uses to survive antibiotic attack.
A new study by researchers at the University of California, Davis shows how the three-dimensional scaffolding of chromosomes is related across several species of carnivores, offering a new approach of “comparative scaffotyping” that could be used to identify related genes across species and place them in context.
The project also investigates processes that bring about the aurora borealis and simulates, with the help of artificial intelligence, plasma bursts in near-Earth space, utilising the computing power of a supercomputer.
Most visible matter in the universe exists as plasma, and NASA has funded a new mission to study this state of matter that's rarely found on Earth.
The building blocks of life-saving therapeutics could be developed in days instead of years thanks to new software that simulates evolution.
