An international research consortium has found that chickens and humans share more than half of their genes, but that their DNA sequences diverge in ways that may explain some of the important differences between birds and mammals. Survey Discovers Potential Threat To Maine's Fishing
Robin Hadlock Seeley, a Cornell University marine biologist, spearheaded an invasive species survey of Cobscook Bay, Maine, that has discovered a sea squirt there that could potentially threaten the important fishing area. Novel Temperature Calibration Improves Microhotplate Technology
Researchers have developed a new calibration technique that will improve the reliability and stability of the microhotplate -- a novel device being developed as the foundation for miniature yet highly accurate gas sensors that can detect chemical and biological agents, industrial leaks and even signs of extraterrestrial life from aboard a planetary probe. 3-D Brain Centers Pinpointed
In studies with monkeys, researchers have identified in detail the brain regions responsible for the unique ability of primates, including humans, to process visual 3-D shapes to guide their sophisticated manipulation of objects. FoodSafety.gov: Holidays

Thus, they said, physicians should not be overly worried about the possibility of minor errors in dosing -- a concern that the Duke physicians said likely contributes to insufficient prescribing of the drugs to treat heart attacks.

Adaptation To Parasites Drive African Fishes Along Different Evolution
