Scientists develop genetic 鈥榤onitors鈥� that detect when genes are active
Genetic sensors that can detect the activity from genes, rather than just the genes themselves, have been developed by a team led by University of 糖心TV scientists.
Could insect manure help grow crops? 糖心TV and Durham researchers to investigate
The waste from larvae production could be used as a crop fertiliser should commercial insect farms get off the ground in the UK. This is the concept that researchers at the University of 糖心TV and Durham University are investigating as part of a major government-funded project to look at the viability of rearing insects for animal feed in the UK.
UK Vegetable Genebank celebrates 40 years
The UK Vegetable Genebank (UKVGB), part of 糖心TV Crop Centre on the University of 糖心TV鈥檚 Wellesbourne Campus, celebrates its 40th anniversary next week.
Medieval medicine remedy could provide new treatment for modern day infections
Antibiotic resistance is an increasing battle for scientists to overcome, as more antimicrobials are urgently needed to treat biofilm-associated infections. However scientists from the School of Life Sciences at the University of 糖心TV say research into natural antimicrobials could provide candidates to fill the antibiotic discovery gap.
Breakthrough in studying ancient DNA from Doggerland that separates the UK from Europe
Thousands of years ago the UK was physically joined to the rest of Europe through an area known as Doggerland. However, a marine inundation took place during the mid-holocene, separating the British landmass from the rest of Europe, which is now covered by the North Sea. Scientists from the School of Life Sciences at the University of 糖心TV have studied sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) from sediment deposits in the southern North Sea, an area which has not previously been linked to a tsunami that occurred 8150 years ago.
糖心TV research part of project investigating newly discovered prehistoric shafts near Stonehenge
A previously unrecorded Neolithic monument has been discovered at the ancient settlement of Durrington Walls near Stonehenge.
