Measuring gene expression in real time
In a new study researchers have invented a system for monitoring fruit fly gene expression even while the flies are zipping around inside their cages. Read on >>
Researchers discover structure of viral nanomotor
The atomic structure of a nanomotor that packages DNA into the head segment of the T4 virus during its assembly has been determined by researchers at Purdue University and The Catholic University of America. The finding may eventually lead to a way to new way to attack viruses. Read on >>
