High-quality alligator gar chromosome-level genome aids in exploring its internal invasion mechanism
Our study generated a high contiguity, completeness, and accuracy genome assembly of alligator gar at the chromosome level using Oxford Nanopore Technology and Hi-C sequencing techniques, deepening our understanding of the genomic basis of its ecology, evolution, and invasiveness.
Spatio-temporal rainfall variability and trends using a Kriging-interpolation and Innovative trend analysis approach: the case of Wolaita zone, south Ethiopia
Understanding climate change and its local impacts has become crucial in addressing global sustainability challenges.
When Science Surprises You
Science often takes us on unexpected journeys. You start with a clear hypothesis, meticulously design an experiment, and then... the results don’t align. Instead of proving or disproving your original idea, you stumble upon something entirely different—something you didn’t anticipate.
Proteomic analysis of the combined effects of cannabigerol and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid on kinase-dependent signalling in UVB-irradiated human keratinocytes
Phytocannabinoid CBG together with EAA, a stable, lipophilic derivative of the vitamin C, recovered human skin cells irradiated by UV light. Their effects on kinases were manifested even after 24 hours.
Effects of CBG and EAA were linked to reduced modification of keratinocyte proteins by 4-HNE.
Brazilian Rivers May Be Leaking Water into The Ground More Than Previously Realized
Measurements of water level in more than 146,000 wells across Brazil demonstrate the widespread potential for rivers to seep into the subsurface
