Scientific Frontline 1d ago

In this comprehensive research report, we undertake an extensive examination of one of the most transformative biological discoveries of the modern scientific era. For centuries, the foundational dogma of terrestrial ecology was absolute: the sun was the ultimate and singular source of energy capable of sustaining complex life.

What is hantavirus, the infection that has killed three people on a cruise ship?

Rodent-carried disease is not usually contagious between humans and outbreaks are rare. ‘New world’ variants are the most deadly. What are the symptoms and treatment?

La unión hace la fuerza. Cuando no dispone de bacterias de las que alimentarse, la ameba social (Dictyostelium) se agrega a otras y se mueve al unísono. #microbiologia #microbiology

Found during a morning shift - maybe I'm just uninitiated but this part absolutely blew my weariness away.

For those who don't know I've been digging into extra chromosomal rrns in Archaea for about two years now - preprint coming this summer!

Those in the know with RNA/ribosome research, what do you think about this one? I'm curious to know.

Performance test of QNome nanopore sequencer. Looks very interesting - I'm always on the lookout for alternate platforms for Binomica. More reason for us to build platform agnostic squiggle/QC tools for the future!
