  • Large, warm-bodied fish, like sharks and tuna, may owe their dominance to being able to retain their own body heat, but that advantage comes at a cost.

    According to a new study in Science, these mesothermic species require nearly four times more energy than other fish, and as oceans warm, their tendency to generate heat faster than they can lose it may push these already vulnerable species closer to the brink of extinction.

  • "Many people will feel stuck in a rut at some point during their Ph.D. My advice is to find another activity outside the lab, so when your research isn’t going well, you’ve got something else to turn to." #ScienceWorkingLife

  • For decades, biology textbooks have enshrined a simple rule: DNA is made by copying a template. After one enzyme unzips a DNA double helix into separate strands, another called a polymerase builds a complementary sequence, base by base, for each strand. Presto: two copies of the original DNA.

    But new research into how bacteria defend themselves from viruses now shows this synthesis rule isn’t absolute.

    Now, a team describes a bacterial enzyme that synthesizes DNA without a nucleic acid template, using its own structure as a guide.
