Breakthrough in Single-Cell Genome Sequencing: New Method Reduces Bias and Expands Research Horizons

It has long been technically difficult to sequence the genome of a single bacterial cell due to the nearly impossible bias in the gene amplification stage of the process, making it difficult to produce a high-coverage genome sequence from precisely one bacterial cell.

Egg ‘Signatures’ Will Allow Drongos to Identify Cuckoo ‘Forgeries’ Almost Every Time, Study Finds

African cuckoos may have met their match with the fork-tailed drongo, which scientists predict can detect and reject cuckoo eggs from their nest on almost every occasion, despite them on average looking almost identical to drongo eggs.

New Protein Found to be Key to Proper Functioning of Acinar Cells

The energy supply in the body has been regulated by the pancreas, located behind the stomach. This mechanism happens by secreting proteins (enzymes) accountable for glucose–the body’s primary fuel–reaching other organs when needed and in the exact amount.
