The completion of the full "telomere-to-telomere" (T2T) human genome last year emphasized that genome sequences that were previously thought to be "complete" were not, in fact, complete at all.

The completion of the full "telomere-to-telomere" (T2T) human genome last year emphasized that genome sequences that were previously thought to be "complete" were not, in fact, complete at all.
Intercropping—the practice of planting mixtures of crops—can be an effective pest management tool worldwide, a new University of Florida study published in the Journal of Applied Ecology shows.
In 2005, Siebel Systems, Inc., a California software company, challenged an enforcement action taken by the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) that found the business had violated the Regulation Fair Disclosure (Reg FD)—a regulation implemented to prevent businesses from giving key analysts and investors insider information. The Siebel case went to the federal court, marking the only court...
There is no stable microbial community residing in the bloodstream of healthy humans, according to a new study led by a UCL researcher.
Researchers at Wageningen University in the Netherlands have successfully developed a method to produce a promising microalga species that grows in an unlikely environment: the world's volcanic hot springs.
An atomic nucleus assumes discrete energy levels when added energy excites that nucleus. These energy levels are the nucleus' unique fingerprint; no two nuclei have identical energy patterns. For exotic nuclei, which have unbalanced numbers of protons and neutrons and often only exist for a fraction of a second, researchers have devised a variety of methods to measure the energies of their excited...
Studying the microbiology of any entity, be it a molecule or a dolphin, ideally means putting a spotlight as close to the source material as possible. That can be especially challenging when you're investigating the Rube Goldberg environment of a cell's nucleus.
Ponderosa pine forests in the Sierra Nevada that were wiped out by western pine beetles during the 2012-2015 megadrought won't recover to pre-drought densities, reducing an important storehouse for atmospheric carbon.
Eating lots of fats increases the risk of metabolic disorders, but the mechanisms behind the problem have not been well understood. Now, biologists have made a key finding about how to ward off harmful effects caused by a high-fat diet.
Placing levies on the profits made in the renewable energy industry could hinder the UK's ability to meet its 2050 net zero carbon reduction targets, an expert has said.
Whether you're afraid of dogs, needles or enclosed spaces, one of the most effective interventions for this type of anxiety disorder is exposure therapy in which you confront your fear in a safe environment. A new study finds that exposure therapy is also a promising treatment for adolescents with eating disorders. They found that exposure to feared foods -- such as candy bars and pizza -- helped...
Researchers have developed a way to create photonic time crystals and shown that these bizarre, artificial materials amplify the light that shines on them. These findings could lead to more efficient and robust wireless communications and significantly improved lasers.
A new study provides a complete design overhaul for IMCs by creating a broadly applicable strategy that solves key challenges in the design of ear tubes and other 'implantable medical conduits.' The approach enables IMCs with predictable and effective uni- and bi-directional fluid transport at the millimeter scale that resist various contaminations.
It's the spines. New research shows that the spiny pollen from plants in the sunflower family (Asteraceae) both reduces infection of a common bee parasite by 81 -- 94% and markedly increases the production of queen bumble bees. The research provides much-needed food for thought in one of the most vexing problems facing biologists and ecologists: how to reverse the great die-off of the world's...
Last summer, researchers at Michigan State University reported that one in five Michigan adults, or about 1.7 million people, don't want children and therefore are child-free. Although that number was surprisingly large to many, data has now been confirmed in a follow-up study.
Seismic arrays deployed in California's Long Beach and Seal Beach areas detected more than a thousand tiny earthquakes over eight months, many of them located at surprisingly shallow depths of less than two kilometers below the surface.
Scientists have discovered repeating radio emissions coming from a star system in our galactic backyard. It's not a message from aliens, but it might show that some planets outside the solar system have a magnetic field — one of the conditions necessary for life as we understand...
Focusing on small and medium-sized firms from emerging markets (ESMEs), researchers found that gender-diverse senior management teams are more likely to deliver value and innovation that contribute towards the United Nation's Grand Challenges. The research team analyzed 228 survey responses from ESMEs from the United Arab Emirates.
Both scientists and the public can navigate a new global image of the Red Planet that was made at Caltech using data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.
Genetic data could be the key to helping the endangered forty-spotted pardalote on the road to recovery, according to a new study from The Australian National University (ANU). The paper is published in the journal Heredity.
Preparing the Juice mission to Jupiter has involved testing for all kinds of contingencies, down to the smallest of scales. This microscopic view shows surface damage to a tiny silver interconnector after being exposed to erosive atomic oxygen known to be found surrounding Jupiter's moon Ganymede.
It's the spines. This is the conclusion of two new papers, led by researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, showing that the spiny pollen from plants in the sunflower family (Asteraceae) both reduces infection of a common bee parasite by 81-94% and markedly increases the production of queen bumble bees.
