Motorists looking for cheap car insurance for young drivers should take note of pending changes to legislation due to take effect from spring of this year, says car insurance specialist Quinn Direct. Current legislation allows motor vehicles to be taxed but uninsured, providing the vehicle is not parked or used on public roads. Once pending legislation comes into effect, motorists without minimum insurance cover will be breaking the law. As of spring 2011, the UK off-road vehicle law will change. This change requires all vehicles that are permanently or temporarily ...

Researchers from the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute have overturned conventional wisdom on how cell movement across all species is controlled, solving the structure of a protein that cuts power to the cell 'motor'. The protein could be a potential drug target for future malaria and anti-cancer treatments. By studying the structure of actin-depolymerising factor 1 (ADF1), a key protein involved in controlling the movement of malaria parasites, the researchers have demonstrated that scientists' decades-long understanding of the relationship between protein structure and ...

Mammoths were a diverse genus that roamed across Eurasia and North America during the Pleistocene era. In continental North America, at least two highly divergent species have long been recognized – woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) and Columbian mammoths (M. columbi). But new genetic evidence published in BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Biology suggests that these species may have been closely related enough to mate when they had the chance. Remains of woolly mammoths have been found across the glacial tundra-steppe of Eurasia and northern North America, ...

Amsterdam, The Netherlands: Direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic tests give inaccurate predictions of disease risks and many European geneticists believe that some of them should be banned, the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics will hear today (Tuesday).

A DNA-based study sheds new light on the complex evolutionary history of the woolly mammoth, suggesting it mated with a completely different and much larger species. The research, which appears in the BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Biology, found the woolly mammoth, which lived in the cold climate of the Arctic tundra, interbred with the Columbian mammoth, which preferred the more temperate regions of North America and was some 25 per cent larger. "There is a real fascination with the history of mammoths, and this analysis helps to contextualize its evolution, ...

Divorce separates spouses, but should not end the parent-child relationship. Research continues to show that children benefit from the positive influence of both parents even after a marriage has ended. To that end, sole-custody arrangements, where one parent is designated as the primary caretaker of the children, have now frequently given way to shared custody and parenting plans. Co-parenting is sometimes referred to as joint-custody, in which both parents share time and responsibility for the children. Such arrangements require the coordination of two separate ...
