Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

When Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in 2014, aerospace engineer Payam Banazadeh, then 23, fixated on one question: Why couldn’t satellites scan the ...

Over the last two years, the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy has made gathering visible and invisible information about the Earth a priority. Now, the office is looking for a way ...

From just dozen launches annually a few years ago, microsatellite launches could number in the hundreds just a few years from now. But which companies will launch them? Microsatellites may be the next ...

Researchers describe two types of GGAA-microsatellites and their roles in EWS/FLI binding and gene regulation in Ewing sarcoma. Ewing sarcoma is the second most common pediatric bone malignancy. It is ...

Microsatellites are molecular markers with numerous applications in biological research. In studies of both plants and animals, they can be used to investigate speciation, gene flow among populations, ...

Researchers at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, are using a next-generation sequencing genotyping approach to find insight into the evolutionary history of the carob tree -- an economically important ...

Satellites deploying synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) have the ability to gather information from Earth’s surface regardless of weather conditions, making them especially useful to governments, ...

Microsatellites are simple repetitive DNA sequences scattered throughout eukaryote genomes. In an Advanced Online Publication from Nature Genetics, Michele Morgante and colleagues report their ...

The spaceship named LunaH-Map sounds like any old spacecraft. It has solar panels, a steering system, scientific sensors, the usual – except that the whole thing could fit in your carry-on bag. A ...

They say you only find what you’re looking for, and that applies in population genetics as well as in life. Population genetic studies rely on scoring known, characterized variation in DNA in order to ...
