DNA-DNA Interactions Could Influence Chromosome Structure
To carry out their roles, do DNA molecules interact with proteins—the prevailing hypothesis—or with each other? A study now provides direct evidence for the latter.
A Genetic Approach To Breeding High-Yield Rice
Scientists have uncovered the regulator of a gene that limits growth of wind-pollinated flowers in rice, which could lead to improved crop yield.
‘Dancing’ Electrons Could Enable Faster Data Encoding
With the addition of a special insulator, electrons in a magnetic hard disk engage in a ‘dance’ with their neighboring electrons to transfer magnetic information over a longer range.
