…a predictive way over long periods, we cannot say whether the future of human population is runaway growth or slow implosion. Thus, we revisit the logistic analysis of aggregate human…

…The software has been used to perform countless new analyses examining the limits of human physical and cognitive performance, human migration, and the diffusion of human disease among other phenomenon….
…to make use of the accumulated data to design primers that amplify specific taxonomic groups. Such taxon-restricted primers can help address interesting questions. In this study, researchers utilized two sets…
PHE’s Mark Stoeckle shared our work on marine eDNA at Parsons School of Design, New School University on October 22, 2021. The online series invites artists and scientists to share…
…this will help integrate DNA barcode data into traditional taxonomy. For practical use, diagnostic sequence differences may aid design of solid-state microarrays that detect species in environmental samples, such as…
…make it difficult to design broad-range primers that amplify DNA from the many kinds of plants, and small differences among closely-related species mean longer sequences are needed to distinguish them….
…uniform location on the genome, aka DNA barcoding. Genetic divergences among lineages make it difficult to design broad-range primers that amplify a desired target region across the diversity of plants…
…the everyday designation of “species” rather than for example molecular operational taxonomic units (MOTU) or (evolutionarily significant units (ESU), but that is a discussion for another time! Back to the…
…the paper or GenBank depositions, although a plankton specialist would probably recognize the source from sample designations. More generally, there is no formal documentation of taxonomic identifications (eg collection sources…
What hosts sustain arthropod disease vectors when they are not biting humans? In September 2009 PLoS ONE, researchers from Doñana Research Station, Seville, Spain, report on a “universal DNA barcoding…
