Scientists find some clues to climate change in plants
2016-01-31 09:03:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Bend Bulletin: The National Parks Service is partnering with citizen scientists to track when plant species flower, leaf out or set seed. The way plants grow gives clues to changes in the environment and the impact of climate change. Plants, as we know, have the most sensitive biological responses to climate change, said Nancy Fernandez, a climate change intern with Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. They are sensitive to temperature change and precipitation. Fernandez discussed plant responses to...

Scientists use big data to discover a genetic cause for schizophrenia
2016-01-28 19:00:39| Extremetech
It's not a smoking gun. But in this week's Nature, there's a study that strongly links schizophrenia with a double-agent gene involved in the immune system.
Scientists prove key aspect of evolutionary theory
2016-01-26 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] Evolutionary theory predicts that pairs of chromosomes within asexual organisms will evolve independently of each other and become increasingly different over time in a phenomenon called the 'Meselson effect'. While this event was first predicted almost twenty years ago, evidence for it has proved elusive. Now, researchers from the University of Glasgow have demonstrated the Meselson effect for the first time in any organism at a genome-wide level, studying a…
