UBC researchers help push for standard DNA barcodes for plants Two University of British Columbia researchers are part of an international team recommending standards for the DNA barcoding of land plants, a step they hope will lead to a universal system for identifying over 400,000 species, and ultimately boost conservation efforts. Biologynews.com121 breeding tigers estimated to be found in Nepal The first ever overall nation-wide estimate of the tiger population brought a positive ray of hope among conservationists. The figures announced by the Nepal Government's Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation (DNPWC) shows the presence of 121 (100 - 194) breeding tigers in the wild within the four protected areas of Nepal. The 2008 tiger population estimate was jointly implemented by the DNPWC, Department of Forests (DOF), WWF, National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC) with support from Save The Tiger Fund (STF), WWF-US, WWF-UK, WWF International and US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Biologynews.comCommon, safe blue food dye may treat broken spines WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A common and safe blue food dye might provide the best treatment available so far for spinal cord injuries, U.S. researchers reported on Monday. ReutersRethinking Brownian motion with the `Emperor`s New Clothes` In the classic fairy tale, 'The Emperor's New Clothes,' Hans Christian Andersen uses the eyes of a child to challenge conventional wisdom and help others to see more clearly. In similar fashion, researchers at the University of Illinois have now revealed the naked truth about a classic bell-shaped curve used to describe the motion of a liquid as it diffuses through another material. Physorg.com27-Jul-09 - Breakthrough Will Eliminate ``Need`` To Destroy Human Embryos, Ethicist Hopes Washington D.C., Jul 24, 2009 .- Two teams of Chinese researchers reported a medical breakthrough this morning, creating living mice from connective tissue that had been reverted to its embryonic state, a development that may eliminate the 'need' to destroy human embryos for research. topix.netColumbia Researchers Lead Race to Find Dark Matter (PhysOrg.com) -- Inside a mountain range in central Italy, Columbia researchers are trying to solve one of the most pressing questions in modern physics: What is dark matter? The riddle has obsessed astronomers and physicists since the 1930s, when Caltech professor Fritz Zwicky first predicted its existence. Because dark matter neither emits nor reflects light and cannot be directly observed, no one has ever proven that it exists; yet theories show it makes up as much as a quarter of the universe. Columbia physics professor Elena Aprile, with collaborators from universities around the world, including Rice University and UCLA, is leading the race to find and identify dark matter for the first time. Physorg.comBarcode replacement shown off A replacement for the black and white stripes of the traditional barcode is outlined by US researchers. BBCNew tests could aid early-Alzheimer`s diagnosis Proteins in spinal fluid accurately detect early-stage Alzheimer's disease in patients and could pave the way for better drug research, Swedish researchers said on Tuesday. Several teams have been working on better ways to detect early-stage Alzheimer's disease in hopes of developing drugs that can fight it before it causes too much damage. Bioethics.netSmaller Plants Punch Above Their Weight In The Forest Biologists show that in the plant world, bigger isn't necessarily better. 'Until now most of the thinking has suggested that to be a good competitor in the forest, you have to be a big plant,' according to one of the researchers. 'But our research shows it's virtually the other way around.' Science dailyResearchers rapidly turn bacteria into biotech factories High-throughput sequencing has turned biologists into voracious genome readers, enabling them to scan millions of DNA letters, or bases, per hour.
