Insect collection and genomic sequencing

Approximately 200 samples of D. provosti were collected from Enshi city(30.25°N,109.05°E), Hubei province, and subjected to a 24-hour laboratory starvation period to minimize contamination of gut content….

People often take walking for granted. We just move, one step after another, without ever thinking about what it takes to make that happen. Yet every single step is an extraordinary act of coordination, driven by precise timing between…

Materials

Three high-purity MgO powders were used for carbonation/calcination cycles (Fig. 10). The nanopowders were sourced from Alfa Aesar (AA, 325 mesh, 99.95 wt% purity), Beantown chemicals (BTC, 40–60 nm, 99 wt% purity), and Skysprings…

Introduction

The global prevalence of superficial fungal infections (SFIs) ranges from 20 to 25%.^1,2 Superficial fungal infections are defined as infections in which a pathogen is restricted to the stratum corneum with little or no tissue…

Hamilton (Ham) Smith co-discovered type II restriction enzymes, molecular scissors that cut DNA at precise sequence sites, which proved to be an essential tool for the emerging field of molecular biology. For this…
