A never-before-seen creature has been found in the Great Salt Lake

Scientists studying the Great Salt Lake have identified at least one species of nematode that is completely new to science, with evidence suggesting there may be a second. Researchers from the University of Utah recently published a paper describing the tiny roundworm and formally naming it in a way that honors the Indigenous people whose […]

Decoding 5′ RNA Capping with NpnNs by Bacteria

Recent developments in molecular biology have shed light on the intricate processes governing RNA synthesis and modification. Among these processes, the capping of RNA at its 5′ end has emerged as a pivotal topic of interest for researchers. The recent study conducted by an international team of scientists reveals groundbreaking insights into the molecular mechanisms […]

The 4x rule: Why some people’s DNA is more unstable than others

A large scale genetic analysis of more than 900,000 people has revealed that specific regions of DNA become increasingly unstable over time. These regions are made up of very short sequences that repeat again and again, and the study shows that they tend to grow longer as people age. Researchers also found that common inherited […]

Mitochondrial presequences harbor variable strengths to maintain organellar function

Hundreds of mitochondrial proteins rely on N-terminal presequences for organellar targeting and import. While generally described as positively charged amphiphilic helices, presequences lack a consensus motif and thus likely promote protein import into mitochondria with variable efficiencies. Indeed, the concept of presequence strength underlies biological models such as stress sensing, yet a quantitative analysis of […]

Labour’s ‘deeply alarming’ attack on protest rights

British authorities have severely restricted the right to protest in contravention of their international human rights obligations, creating an environment in which peaceful dissent is increasingly treated as a criminal act, Human Rights Watch said in its latest report. ‘Silencing the Streets’: The Right to Protest Under Attack in the UK documents that the UK’s […]

Ancient skeletons reveal viruses embedded in human DNA

Scientists have, for the first time, rebuilt ancient genomes of Human betaherpesvirus 6A and 6B (HHV-6A/B) using DNA from archaeological human remains that are more than 2,000 years old. The research, led by teams at the University of Vienna and the University of Tartu (Estonia) and published in Science Advances, shows that these viruses have […]
