While extracellular DNA persistence substantially influences soil microbiome investigations, its degradation kinetics remain poorly quantified. Here, we developed a primer-labeled DNA approach coupled ...

The dorsal raphe nucleus (DRN) serotonergic (5-HT) system has been implicated in regulating sleep and motor control; however, its specific role remains controversial. In this study, we found that ...

Abstract: Fresh cold chain logistics hold a crucial position in modern supply chain management, ensuring the quality and freshness of fresh products from production bases to consumers is a complex and ...

A new study reveals all five fundamental nucleobases – the molecular “letters” of life – have been detected in samples from the asteroid Ryugu. Asteroid particles offer a glimpse into the chemical ...

In the months following Elon Musk’s $44 billion acquisition of Twitter in 2022, my experience with the platform (and perhaps yours too) got quickly, dramatically worse. My algorithmic timeline, better ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...
