Scientists discovered a "spatial grammar" hidden in DNA that changes how we understand gene control! Unlike textbooks claim, most transcription factors can be BOTH activators AND repressors, it all depends on WHERE they sit in the genome Source: Nature journal #Biology #Science

Scientists just discovered that plants make the same immune molecule (itaconate) that protects animals from viruses! When corn seedlings were watered with itaconate, they grew TALLER. This crossover between plant & animal biology could revolutionize agriculture. #Biology #Plant

Scientists just turned a living protein into a quantum sensor! Researchers at UChicago created the first-ever "biological qubit" - a quantum bit made from cellular proteins that can detect changes 1000x stronger than current sensors. Nature got quantum! #Biology #Science

By the numbers: 10^30 total viruses in Earth's oceans 10^7 viruses per drop of seawater 3 gigatons of CO2 removed from atmosphere annually by viral activity 70% of marine biomass = microorganisms Marine viruses are climate heroes!

Scientists just discovered that marine viruses kill 20% of ocean microbes DAILY - that's more biomass than humans consume globally! These tiny ocean assassins control everything from algal blooms to carbon cycling. A teaspoon of seawater contains ~50 million viruses! #Science

The bacterial flagellum looks like a simple tail, or whip. But it’s actually a rotating motor, and perhaps the most sophisticated protein complex nature has ever evolved. In e. coli, these motors are capable of astonishing speeds; about 15,000 rpm. (The world record, according…
