An ancient gene is crucial for the development of the distinctive waist that divides the spider body plan in two, according to a study published August 29 in the open-access journal PLOS Biology by Emily Setton from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, US, and colleagues. An ancient gene is crucial for the development of the distinctive waist…
Pectin, a natural and nontoxic acidic polysaccharide, is widely found in the primary cell wall and inner layer of terrestrial higher plants. The main domains of pectin are homogalacturonan and rhamnogalacturonan I, which contribute to the complexity of structure among natural polysaccharides. Pectin, a natural and nontoxic acidic polysaccharide, is widely found in the primary cell…

The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) officially released the precise measurements of high-energy gamma radiation from the W51 complex, confirming it as a cosmic-ray accelerator boosting particles up to so-called ultra-high energies (UHE, above 1014 electronvolts). The results also provide key evidence about the cosmic-ray acceleration limit in this complex. The Large High Altitude…

Genetic disorders—like cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease—are considered incurable, with gene mutations occurring in essentially every cell of the body. Gene mutations occur when one nucleotide in a codon is switched. In non-synonymous mutations, this disrupts the codon’s function to code for its amino acid. In synonymous mutations, the codon still codes the correct amino…
