Uncovering the Genetic History of the Guanaco in the Extremes of South America
In the vast and varied landscape of South America, the guanaco (Lama guanicoe) stands as a symbol of adaptation and resilience. As the largest wild species on the continent, it has captivated scientists and conservationists with its ability to thrive in some of the planet’s most extreme environments.
Discover the Secrets of Avocado: Transformations and Quality
Have you ever wondered why avocados are so delicious when they are ripe? The ripening process of avocado involves complex physicochemical transformations that result in the desirable characteristics for consumption. But did you know that this process affects different metabolites differently, and that it depends on the type of avocado?
Discover the Hidden World of the Marine “Mobilome”
Imagine an ocean full of tiny microorganisms working together to survive. Within these microorganisms exist fascinating entities called Mobile Genetic Elements (MGEs), which act like small couriers exchanging messages that can lead to adaptation in these microorganisms. This collection of MGEs is known as the “mobilome.”
