Research findings provide clues on the properties that might have made A. baumannii a successful pathogen

Over 670,000 people in Europe become ill each year as a result of pathogenic bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and 33,000 people die as a result of the diseases they cause. Pathogens that are resistant to multiple antibiotics at the same time are particularly dangerous.

Study shows how genetic database offers strong implications for chimpanzee conservation

Chimpanzees live in the savannahs and forests of tropical Africa. In contrast to the hominid sites that have been preserved to this day—mostly in caves and temperate climates—chimpanzee habitats have produced few specimens that have been preserved or discovered in the archaeological record.

Researchers conduct a comprehensive survey of the aging epigenome across the chromatin hierarchy

Highly structured chromatin encodes the program of life with only one set of genes in the core of every cell. Since various genes are stimulated at different periods of life while staying silent elsewhere, this is feasible. Some genes from a former life stage are hidden deep within the nuclear perimeter, while others manage to break out.

Researchers identify jellyfish’s stinging cells to promote new cell function

According to a recent Cornell study, the cnidocytes—or stinging cells—that are found in sea anemones, hydrae, corals, and jellyfish and make us cautious while wading in the ocean are also an ideal way of understanding the creation of new cell types.

Scientists plan to analyze the diversity of marine life using environmental DNA

Researchers from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego, the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) evaluated the diversity of aquatic life off the California coast using genetic research tools similar to those used in genealogy.
