Investigadores de Brasil y Estados Unidos están trabajando juntos para que los vehículos aéreos no tripulados —más conocidos como drones— se conviertan en una herramienta alternativa de bajo costo que ayude en la toma de decisiones y rendición de cuentas de los proyectos de restauración de bosques.   Para ello desarrollaron un dron equipado con sistemas de escaneo láser tridimensional capaz de producir mapas de alta [...]

The promise of new treatments for sickle cell disease, a group of inherited red blood cell disorders, has never been so great, but it will only be realized if there is constant investment in health policies such as programs for screening newborns, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where most cases occur. This point is made in a comprehensive review of the main research findings regarding sickle disease published in Nature Reviews Disease Primers and signed by experts affiliated with [...]

In experiments with mice, Brazilian scientists demonstrated that a moderate training protocol reduced liver fat and made the organ more sensitive to insulin, even before loss of body weight occurred Research conducted at the University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo State, Brazil, shows that vigorous physical exercise such as strength and weight training can reduce accumulated liver fat and improve blood sugar control in obese and diabetic individuals in a short time span, even [...]

Scientists have sequenced the largest animal mitochondrial genome, that of the tube anemone. The tube anemone is found in the Atlantic from the coast of Patagonia in Argentina as far north as the East Coast of the US. Its mitochrondial genome has 80,923 base pairs, meaning it is the largest animal mitochondrial genome to be sequenced to date. The shape of the mitogenomes in the two species of tube anemone were surprising. According to the researchers, despite the fact the gene sequences of [...]

The tube anemone Isarachnanthus nocturnus is only 15 cm long but has the largest mitochondrial genome of any animal sequenced to date, with 80,923 base pairs. The human mitochondrial genome (mitogenome), for example, comprises 16,569 base pairs. Tube anemones (Ceriantharia) are the focus of an article recently published in Scientific Reports describing the findings of a study led by Sérgio Nascimento Stampar, a professor in São Paulo State University's School of Sciences and [...]

Discovery by Brazilian and US researchers could change the classification of two species, which appear more akin to jellyfish than was thought. The tube anemone Isarachnanthus nocturnus is only 15 cm long but has the largest mitochondrial genome of any animal sequenced to date, with 80,923?base pairs. The human mitochondrial genome (mitogenome), for example, comprises 16,569 base pairs. Tube anemones (Ceriantharia) are the focus of an article recently published in Scientific Reports [...]
