Could Life Adapt to a Hypergravity Planet? A Freaky Fly Experiment Offers a Clue
“The results complicate a simple assumption: that extreme environments only cause damage.”…
Microbes coordinate activity to reduce competition, Israeli researchers discover
The findings, discovered by a team led by Dr. Sarah Moraïs, indicate that microbes respond not only to environmental conditions, but also to the presence and identity of neighborin…
$500M for Virtual Biology Initiative, Funded by Zuckerbergs
A $500M commitment to galvanize a global, open-data effort to build predictive models of the human cell.…
Craig Venter, who booted up the first synthetic cell, dies at 79
In 2010, Craig Venter and his colleagues took a bacterial genome they had designed on a computer, assembled it from chemical building blocks, transplanted it into an empty cell, an…
Biology undergrad
Answer to my physics problem for last week - sorry got caught up studying for my final biology exam 🥹 (assume small angle psi such that the y component of air resistance is negligible but still follows a parabolic path, otherwise it's not solvable analytically)
The algal bloom may be 'gone', but many are still grappling with the fall-out
While testing has shown a dramatic improvement in South Australia's algal bloom situation, industry and experts fear it won't be a quick recovery.…
Researchers try to cut the genetic code from 20 to 19 amino acids
Using AI tools, the team reworked part of the ribosome to need one less amino acid.…
Cows’ methane burps may be fueled by a newfound organelle in gut microbes
In cows’ guts, ciliates contain a tiny organelle called a hydrogenobody that may drive production of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.…
Craig Venter, pioneering human genome decoder, dies at 79
Pioneering scientist J. Craig Venter has died at 79. His "whole genome shotgun method" helped genome sequencing become faster and cheaper.…
Biology is a Burrito: A text- and visual-based journey through a living cell
A bacterium's genome, pulled into a straight thread, is nearly 1,000 times longer than the cell from which it came.…
