Study offers insight into the origin of the genetic code, team reports 26 Aug 2013 | 11:02 pm
An analysis of enzymes that load amino acids onto transfer RNAs -- an operation at the heart of protein translation -- offers new insights into the evolutionary origins of the modern genetic code, res...
Penn study finds earlier peak for Spain's glaciers 26 Aug 2013 | 10:02 pm
The last glacial maximum was a time when Earth's far northern and far southern latitudes were largely covered in ice sheets and sea levels were low. Over much of the planet, glaciers were at their gre...
Insight into marine life's ability to adapt to climate change 26 Aug 2013 | 08:03 pm
A study into marine life around an underwater volcanic vent in the Mediterranean, might hold the key to understanding how some species will be able to survive in increasingly acidic sea water should a...
Carbon-sequestering ocean plants may cope with climate changes over the long run 26 Aug 2013 | 08:02 pm
A year-long experiment on tiny ocean organisms called coccolithophores suggests that the single-celled algae may still be able to grow their calcified shells even as oceans grow warmer and more acidic...
