Date Time Researchers assemble error-free genomes of 16 animals-with another 70,000 coming up Until recently, there was no reliable genome sequence for the endangered kakapo. Credit: Chris Birmingham, CC BY 2.0 The flightless kakapo of New Zealand is in trouble. The world’s heaviest parrot-representing one of the most ancestral branches of the parrot family tree-is nearly extinct, with barely 200 adults plodding the underbrush of four small islands. Whether the last of the kakapos had the genetic resilience to survive was a question that only high-quality genomic analysis could answer. But ...
New UArizona research has identified a previously unknown pattern of protein creation in the motor neurons, which are the cells that malfunction in patients with ALS.
Adaptable neurons are tied to learning and memory but also to neurological disorders. By studying fruit flies, researchers found a mechanism that controls neuroplasticity.
New Study on Fruit Flies may Lead to Better Autonomous Vehicles Written by AZoRoboticsApr 7 2021 According to a AAA annual survey conducted on autonomous driving, more than 70% of respondents have reported that they are afraid of traveling in a fully autonomous car. The way fruit flies escape heat can inform models for self-driving vehicles. Image Credit: Gallio lab. This means manufacturers, like Tesla, may need to start all over again before they can launch their fully autonomous self-driving systems into the market. However, a new study performed by Northwestern University has demonstrated...
