High prevalence of Prdm9-independent recombination hotspots in placental mammals
In many mammals, recombination events are concentrated into hotspots directed by a sequence specific DNA-binding protein named Prdm9.bioRxiv
#EnergyTransition: How bubble curtains protect #porpoises from wind farm noise https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20231106-the-big-bubble-curtains-protecting-porpoises-from-wind-farm-noise
"As huge offshore #WindFarms spread across Europe's seas, efforts grow to buffer the impact on #wildlife... The #BubbleCurtain was designed around the #porpoise's specific needs and traits, lowering #WindFarm construction noise to a threshold deemed safe for the species, based on scientific research. Its proven muffling effect may also benefit other marine #mammals such as #seals"
