    04.10.2022
    "Satellite arrays" To add a level of complexity, the team knew that Rhino not only localizes to piRNA clusters. Recently Rhino had been shown to bind to so-called “Satellite arrays.” These are repetitive sequences of non-coding and non-transposing DNA located close to the chromosomes’ centromeres. “We saw a striking effect on Rhino when we generated flies with mutant or absent Kipferl and looked at them under the microscope,” says first author Lisa Baumgartner, a doctoral ...

    Alpine glaciers as climate archives: time is running out
    29.06.2020
    have researchers been drilling in the Alps? Bohleber: Ice cores have been studied in the Alps for over 40 years. It was a while before we were able to characterize the importance of the Alpine glaciers as climate archives. It also depends on the location. For us to be able to drill a complete stratification in ice cores, the snow must be continuously archived at that site. So, it has to stay very cold all year round to avoid melting. For a long time, it was thought that only ...
