A new functional gene database, FOAM (Functional
Ontology Assignments for Metagenomes), was developed
to screen environmental metagenomic sequence
datasets. FOAM provides a new functional
ontology dedicated to classify gene functions relevant
to...

We report here that (4R,9Z)-hexadec-9-en-4-olide [(R)-desmolactone] is a sex
attractant or sex pheromone for multiple species and subspecies in the cerambycid
genus Desmocerus. This compound was previously identified as a female-produced
sex...

Increasingly, forest management and conservation plans require spatially explicit information within a management
or conservation unit. Forest biomass and potential productivity are critical variables for forest planning and
assessment in the...

We developed a new climate-sensitive vegetation state-and-transition simulation
model (CV-STSM) to simulate future vegetation at a fine spatial grain commensurate
with the scales of human land-use decisions, and under the joint influences of...

Phytoplankton species were enumerated from 72 samples collected biweekly during
the upwelling season (May to August) of 2001−2010 to test for effects of interannual variations in
upwelling and decadal basin-scale variability on phytoplankton...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is currently one of the top lethal cancers with an increasing
trend. Deregulation of MYC in HCC is frequently detected and always correlated with poor
prognosis. As the zebrafish genome contains two differentially...

BACKGROUND: Poorly ventilated combustion stoves and pollutants emitted from combustion stoves increase the risk
of acute lower respiratory illnesses (ALRI) in children living in developing countries but few studies have examined
these issues in...

This study demonstrated at the pilot-scale (50 kg) use of Douglas-fir forest harvest residue, an underutilized
forest biomass, for the production of high titer and high yield bioethanol using sulfite chemistry
without solid–liquor separation and...

Meso- and microplastic debris is becoming a rising coastal issue as more research
highlighting the detrimental impacts this material has on marine organisms and the
environment is performed. This research, however, continues to be conducted in a...
