Evolution could be predictable
Clines are trends in a morphological variation due to environmental influences. In Drosophila flies, one of the known clines is the size of their wings depending on latitude. The study of the American populations of Drosophila suboscura, carried out by a group of UAB geneticists, has led to a...
Bacterial chaperones to improve protein production in insect cells
Recombinant DNA technology boosted the production of recombinant proteins with industrial or therapeutic applications, which transformed biotechnological industry. Despite this, recombinant protein production in heterologous systems is not yet...
What came first in the origin of life?
A research published in “Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences” rejects the theory that the origin of life stems from a system of self-catalytic molecules capable of experiencing Darwinian evolution without the need of RNA or DNA and its replication. The research, which...
