Scientists have known for decades that genes can be transferred from one species to another, both in animals and plants. However, the mechanism of how such an unlikely event occurs remained unknown. Now, researchers identify a vector of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in worms. The findings could lead to the discovery of further vectors of HGT in eukaryotes and might find applications in pathogen control.

The blockchain led to huge changes that made bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies possible. However, despite the incredible security that blockchain affords, cryptocurrency thefts and scams are still very prevalent. Fortunately, new advances in machine learning technology can help mitigate many of these risks. If you have invested in Bitcoin or another cryptocurrency, then you are going to want to make sure that your digital coins are properly secured.

Most people go to the dentist to fight cavities, gum disease, and pain from infections. But many do not know that dentists take precautions to keep their patients safe from infectious diseases in dentistry. While some infections are mild, others can be severe, leading to other issues. For example, the HSV-1 virus causes cold sores and HPV and is linked to oral cancer.

West Nile Virus is a critical public health concern. This mosquito-borne virus can cause severe, fatal disease. The disease is transmitted to humans and animals through infected mosquitoes. Unfortunately, there are no vaccines for humans against the West Nile Virus (WNV), so controlling their vectors and raising awareness about precautionary measures is the best way of fighting this infectious disease.

50 million years ago in what is now northwestern Colorado, a katydid died, sank to the bottom of a lake and was quickly buried in fine sediments, where it remained until its compressed fossil was recovered in recent years. When researchers examined the fossil under a microscope, they saw that not only had many of the insect's hard structures been preserved in the compressed shale, so had several internal organs and tissues, which are not normally fossilized.
