A contagious cancer of clams.

Posted on June 2, 2016January 20, 2017 by wonght
A leukemia-like cancer of clams has been revealed to be caused by a clonal, transmissible cell line. Metzger et al. discovered that the Steamer retrotransposon is present at high copy number in the le... Read More

Is a single colony “pure”?

Posted on June 1, 2016January 20, 2017 by wonght
Shrestha et al. find that a contaminating strain of Geobacter sulfurreducens persists even after repeated streaking of single colonies on solid media. The stowaway strain KN400 was not found by deep s... Read More

Rewiring genetic networks.

Posted on May 17, 2016January 20, 2017 by wonght
Finely tuned genetic networks shaped by evolution have allowed organisms to express specific proteins precisely spatially and temporally. Yet there remains a hugely unexplored evolutionary space. Here... Read More

Protons as post-translational modifications.

Posted on May 5, 2016January 20, 2017 by wonght
A group at UCSF is re-thinking the role of protonation in regards to protein function. Rapid, reversible, environmentally sensitive and enzyme-free, protonation seems to be an ideal post-translational... Read More

Statistically significant improvements to your data analysis.

Posted on April 12, 2016January 20, 2017 by wonght
Halsey et al. raise issue with the often cited but infrequently analyzed P value. The authors use random sampling to show that experiments with low statistical power often will give false negative res... Read More

Coal, Lignin, and Fungi, Oh My!

Posted on March 23, 2016January 20, 2017 by wonght
Worldwide coal deposits presently in use as an energy source were formed hundreds of millions of years ago as buried ligin from woody plants. However, the carbon burial rate sharply decreased at the e... Read More

Can new antibiotics avoid resistance?

Posted on March 5, 2016January 20, 2017 by wonght
Ling et al. present a new nonribosomal peptide antibiotic, teixobactin, that inhibits cell wall synthesis by interacting with the lipid precursors of the cell wall. No resistant mutants of Staph. aure... Read More

What are the risk factors for French hens contracting Salmonella?

Posted on February 1, 2016January 20, 2017 by wonght
Huneau-Salaun et al. studied 519 flocks of French hens to determine what factors increased risk for Salmonella. As expected, caged hens were more likely to have Salmonella contamination than their mor... Read More
