Carnegie's newest scientific division, Biosphere Sciences & Engineering, is devoted to disrupting the traditional, siloed perspective on research in the life sciences and pursuing an integrated ...

The Drosophila Gateway™ Vector collection is a set of 68 Gateway-based vectors designed to express epitope-tagged proteins in Drosophila culture cells or flies. At its core is Invitrogen's Gateway™ ...

Sugars serve as the principal energy source, basic building material and important signal molecules in both animals and plants. Their distribution throughout the organism is controlled by sugar ...

Maintaining a venue for promising but risky ventures has become especially important as the mainstream research system increasingly selects for projects that extend accepted wisdom, rather than ...

10.1111/j.1365-2966.2012.20586.x The presence of substructure in galaxy groups and clusters is believed to be a sign of recent galaxy accretion and can be used to probe not only the assembly history ...

Purple sulfur bacteria (PSB) are important photoautotrophs inhabiting chemoclines in euxinic and meromictic lakes. These organisms are the only producers of the carotenoid, okenone, a compound that ...

Hydropower and irrigation are essential for achieving human development objectives and for climate mitigation and adaptation. These sectors depend on the same grey infrastructure, such as dammed ...

Responses of the terrestrial biosphere to rapidly changing environmental conditions are a major source of uncertainty in climate projections. In an effort to reduce this uncertainty, a wide range of ...

The Hercules ultrafaint dwarf galaxy (UFD) has long been hypothesized to be tidally disrupting, yet no conclusive evidence has been found for tidal disruption owing partly to difficulties in ...

The Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for Organics and Chemicals (SHERLOC) instrument onboard the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover detected so far some of the most intense ...

Marine oxygen-deficient zones represent a natural source of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting agent. To investigate controls on N2O production, the responses of ammonia ...
