Researchers developed the DNA-SaM encoding system, which allows digital files to be written into DNA with error correction. Hemingway's story, 3288 bytes in size, was split into 41 DNA fragments, inserted into E. coli plasmids, and successfully read at the hundredth generation of bacteria. The results were published in Nature Communications.
Javlon TursunovA study published in Nature Communications and prepared by 26 scientists showed that 85 salt lakes worldwide are linked to 200 species listed in the IUCN Red List as threatened or near-threatened. These lakes contain more than 45% of the world's lake water volume. Scientists note their particular vulnerability to climate change.
Javlon TursunovA new study in Nature Communications found that the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica could contribute up to 30 mm to global sea level rise by 2100 — twice the previous estimate of 15 mm. The cause is 'tidal pumping': warm water penetrates beneath the ice. There is about a 60% probability that by 2100 the glacier will detach from the restraining Mugins Ridge, possibly as early as the late 2030s.
