Plants have clever ways of dealing with cold. One such method involves a group of genes called Calmodulin-like (CML) genes. These genes act like tiny sensors, picking up signals from calcium and helping plants survive chilly temperatures. Scientists have been studying these genes in various plants,
Ever wondered how genes turn on and off? It's all about the packaging of DNA, called chromatin. Scientists have been trying to figure out how this process works, but it's been a tough nut to crack. Now, a new method called Dam&ChIC is here to change the game. Dam&ChIC is like a time machine for cel
AI is changing how people think and work. It can help or hurt the way we use our brains. Some worry that AI might make us lazy. Others believe it can free up our minds for bigger tasks. To test this, a study is looking at how college students use AI for writing. The study focuses on two main things
