World War II bombing raids offer new insight into the effects of aviation on climate

2011-07-08

Climate researchers have turned to the Allied bombing raids of the Second World War for a unique opportunity to study the effect thousands of aircraft had on the English climate at a time when civilian aviation remained rare. The study, published in the International Journal of Climatology, reveals how civilian and military records can help assess the impact of modern aviation on the climate today. The research, led by Prof Rob MacKenzie, now at the University of Birmingham, and Prof Roger Timmis of the Environment Agency, used historical data to investigate the levels ...

Evolution and domestication of seed structure shown to use same genetic mutation

2011-07-08

For the first time, scientists have identified a mutation in plants that was selected twice - during both natural evolution and domestication. The mutation has been identified as the source of variation in the evolution of fruit morphology in Brassica plants and it was also the source of key changes during the domestication of rice. "We have shown that the genetic source of both natural and man-made changes was the same," said one of the authors on the findings, Dr Robert Sablowski from the John Innes Centre, which is strategically funded by the BBSRC. "These insights ...

Control of gene expression: Mediator MED26 shifts an idling polymerase into high gear

2011-07-08

KANSAS CITY, MO—Look up "transcription"—the copying of a gene's DNA into RNA intermediaries—in any old molecular biology text book, and it all seems very simple: RNA polymerase II, the enzyme that catalyzes the reaction, assembles at the start site and starts motoring down the strand, cranking out the RNA ribbon used to construct proteins. But researchers now know that RNA polymerase II often stalls on DNA strands where it was once assumed to just barrel down. A report from the Conaway lab at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research in the July 8, 2011, edition of ...

Stem cells know where they want to go: McMaster researchers

2011-07-08

Hamilton, ON (July 7, 2011) – Human stem cells have the ability to become any cell type in the human body, but when it comes to their destination they know where they want to go. This finding by McMaster University researchers sheds new light on how these regenerative cells turn into more specialized cell types, such as neural or blood cells. Until now, the thought has been that stem cells keep all their options open and have no preference when it comes to becoming more specialized. In a paper published in the scientific journal Cell Stem Cell, Mick Bhatia, director ...
