| Non-inherited mutations account for many heart defects Posted: 12 May 2013 11:12 AM PDT New mutations that are absent in parents but appear in their offspring account for at least 10 percent of severe congenital heart disease, reveals a massive genomics study.  |
| Posted: 12 May 2013 11:09 AM PDT Climate change will cause widespread global-scale loss of common plants and animals. More than half of common plants and one third of the animals could see a dramatic decline this century due to climate change, according to new research. The study looked at 50,000 globally widespread and common species and found that more than one half of the plants and one third of the animals will lose more than half of their climatic range by 2080 if nothing is done to reduce the amount of global warming and slow it down.  |
| Carnivorous plant throws out 'junk' DNA Posted: 12 May 2013 11:05 AM PDT The newly sequenced genome of the carnivorous bladderwort contradicts the notion that vast quantities of noncoding 'junk' DNA are crucial for complex life.  |
