| Engineered robot interacts with live fish Posted: 08 Jun 2012 07:08 AM PDT A bioinspired robot has provided the first experimental evidence that live zebrafish can be influenced by engineered robots.  |
| Parasitic plants steal genes from their hosts Posted: 08 Jun 2012 07:08 AM PDT The Malaysian parasitic plant Rafflesia cantleyi, with its 50cm diameter flowers, has 'stolen' genes from its host Tetrastigma rafflesiae. Analysis of these genes shows that their functions range from respiration to metabolism, and that some of them have even replaced the parasites own gene activity.  |
