UC Santa Barbara researchers demonstrate atomically thin, ultrasensitive and scalable molybdenum disulfide field-effect transistor based biosensors and establish their potential for single-molecule detection.
Breakthrough study identifies genetic link between the circadian clock and seasonal timing
29.9.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
University of Leicester researchers uncover new insights into day-length measurement in flies. Researchers from the University of Leicester have for the first time provided experimental evidence for a genetic link between two major timing mechanisms, the circadian clock and the seasonal timer.
New study reveals strong link between higher levels of pollution and lung health of European citizen
26.9.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
New data has identified a clear link between higher levels of exposure to air pollution and deteriorating lung health in adult European citizens. This study confirms previous findings that children growing up in areas with higher levels of pollution will have lower levels of lung function and a higher risk of developing symptoms such as cough and...

Hyb-Seq utilizes next-generation sequencing and hybridization-based enrichment for plant phylogenomic studies.
Like Weeds of the Sea, ‘Brown Tide’ Algae Exploit Nutrient-Rich Coastlines
18.9.2014 | Newly on Gate2Biotech
The sea-grass beds of Long Island’s Great South Bay once teemed with shellfish. Clams, scallops and oysters filtered nutrients from the water and flushed money through the local economy. But three decades after the algae that cause brown tides first appeared here, much of the sea grass and the bounty it used to provide is gone.
