| DNA reveals mating patterns of critically endangered sea turtle Posted: 03 Feb 2013 06:24 PM PST New research into the mating habits of a critically endangered sea turtle will help conservationists understand more about its mating patterns. Female hawksbill turtles mate at the beginning of the season and store sperm for up to 75 days to use when laying multiple nests on the beach. New research also reveals that these turtles are mainly monogamous and don't tend to re-mate during the season. |
| World's first image of Grey Friars skull unveiled Posted: 03 Feb 2013 06:24 PM PST Did this head once bear the English Crown? Researchers have just unveiled the world's first photograph of the human remains found at the Grey Friars church -- which could be that of King Richard III. |
| Plant scientists demonstrate new means of boosting maize yields Posted: 03 Feb 2013 11:56 AM PST Plant geneticists have successfully demonstrated what it describes as a "simple hypothesis" for making significant increases in yields for the maize plant. |
| Synthetic biology: Recreating natural complex gene regulation Posted: 03 Feb 2013 11:55 AM PST By reproducing in the laboratory the complex interactions that cause human genes to turn on inside cells, bioengineers have created a system they believe can benefit gene therapy research and the burgeoning field of synthetic biology. |
| Understanding Earth’s climate prior to the industrial era Posted: 03 Feb 2013 11:55 AM PST Climate signals locked in the layers of glacial ice, preserved in the annual growth rings of trees, or fingerprinted in other so-called proxy archives such as lake sediments, speleothems, and corals allow researchers to quantify climate variation prior to instrumental measurements. An international research team has now investigated hundreds of these proxy records from across the globe and compared them with both simulations of the Earth's climate and instrumental measurements of temperature and precipitation. |
| Designer babies may explain insect sociality Posted: 03 Feb 2013 05:54 AM PST Being able to choose the sex of their babies may be the key to the complex societies built by ants, bees, and wasps, according to scientists. |
| Caught in the act: Researchers capture key moments in cell death Posted: 03 Feb 2013 05:51 AM PST Scientists have for the first time visualized the molecular changes in a critical cell death protein that force cells to die. |
