An international consortium of scientists, including UAB researcher Deodoro Oliveira, have sequenced the genome of three species of parasitoid wasps of the genus Nasonia. The research offers new basic information on the genetic mechanisms of evolution. It is also of great importance...
Clines are trends in a morphological variation due to environmental influences. In Drosophila flies, one of the known clines is the size of their wings depending on latitude. The study of the American populations of Drosophila suboscura, carried out by a group of UAB geneticists, has led to a...
Recombinant DNA technology boosted the production of recombinant proteins with industrial or therapeutic applications, which transformed biotechnological industry. Despite this, recombinant protein production in heterologous systems is not yet...
A new dinosaur species, Tethyshadros insularis, found in Italy by the team led by Fabio Dalla Vecchia (Institut Català de Paleontologia), is the subject of a recent publication. The new dinosaur is related to the plant-eating dinosaurs family of...
To celebrate the Darwin Year, on 2009, Dr Hochadel reflected on the repercussions of Darwinism in its day and how it still influences our perception of our own nature. Oliver Hochadel holds a doctorate in the History of...
