The research team also identified the first example of a twister ribozyme in mammals, specifically in the genome of the bottlenose dolphin. A paper describing the study appeared online today ...

Studying the physiology and ecology of whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals through methods ranging from molecular ecology to tracking the movements of individuals and populations using ...

Anchoring the west side of Indianapolis, the White River State Park offers 250 acres of green space dotted with memorials and museums as the Central Canal and the White River offer waterways in ...

A new study suggests that extreme temperatures could lead to a mass extinction event — the first since the dinosaurs died out — that would ultimately end the reign of humans and mammals on Earth. Dr.

We then examined selection strength in the genomes of seven mammals. Tigers exhibited an over-dispersion of deleterious mutations, while gorillas, giant pandas, and golden snub-nosed monkeys displayed ...

By comparing avian and mammalian datasets, we show that genes under positive selection in birds are likely to be under positive selection in mammals, and that this signal is the strongest in viral ...
