Origin and Evolution of Plant Long Terminal Repeat Retrotransposons with Additional Ribonuclease H

Abstract. Retroviruses originated from long terminal repeat retrotransposons (LTR-RTs) through several structural adaptations. One such modification was the arr

Hello there. So, I never thought I'd ever be using Mastodon for this and its a longshot but I'm looking for a paid job in #virginia. I'm a senior in College and I'm going to be graduating with a degree in business management in May and I want to be ready. For my skills, I'm well-versed in #Microsoft products, particularly #MicrosoftExcel and #MicrosoftWword though Excel is my prefered application considering I wish to work with spreadsheets. Yes, I'm totally blind but that shouldn't be an issue because of #screenreaders and #ADA #accommodations and #RemoteWork. So, if anyone is looking for a dedicated person who genuinely enjoys helping others and working with functions from #statistics to #financial functions using #appliedMath, I am willing and able to work for you and what I don't know, I'm willing to learn so help me #GetFediHired. Resume will be sent apon request through DM's. Thank you, and boosts are absolutely encouraged.

The Biodiversity Knowledge Hub (BKH): a crosspoint and knowledge broker for FAIR and linked biodiversity data - ProQuest

Explore millions of resources from scholarly journals, books, newspapers, videos and more, on the ProQuest Platform.

At the Australian Plant Phenomics Facility, we are seeking to expand our data and software team. Five positions are available in Adelaide (Senior Software Engineer, Software Engineer, Spatial Data Engineer, Data Librarian and Project Manager).

The team will be responsible for #FAIR data pipelines to organise, publish and reuse measurements of growing plants.

Please publicise these positions.

Dynamic light filtering over dermal opsin as a sensory feedback system in fish color change https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-40166-4

"the #hogfish is known for its color-changing skin. The species can morph from white to mottled to reddish-brown in a matter of milliseconds to blend in with #corals, sand or rocks... Can hogfish detect light using only their skin, independently of their eyes and brain?"

This fish doesn't just see with its eyes, it also sees with its skin

A few years ago while on a fishing trip in the Florida Keys, biologist Lori Schweikert came face to face with an unusual quick-change act. She reeled in a pointy-snouted reef fish called a hogfish and threw it onboard. But later when she went to put it in a cooler she noticed something odd: its skin had taken on the same color and pattern as the deck of the boat.
