Biology Mitotic genome folding Mitotic genome folding, or mitotic chromosome assembly, is essential for the faithful segregation of genetic information into daughter cells. While this process was once thought to be highly complex, requiring a myriad of protein components, recent studies have begun to revise this conventional view. An emerging view is that the core reaction of mitotic genome […] Written by Admin June 11, 2025June 11, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
Environmental Science Will green flood defences work? The results were mixed. While vegetation slightly reduced water depth and flow speed in some scenarios, it had little to no impact on the overall extent or timing of flooding. As sea levels rose, even these modest benefits faded. In essence, the study revealed that while nature can slow the floodwaters, it may not stop […] Written by brendan June 11, 2025June 11, 2025 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
