MIT researchers find that high ratio of freeloaders makes it more likely colony will die from sudden shock to environment.
Spatial measurements of population density could reveal when threatened natural populations are in danger of crashing.
Yeast research takes a step toward production of alternatives to gasoline.
Yeast cells that share food have a survival edge over their freeloading neighbors — particularly when there is bacterial competition.
Engineers design new proteins that can help control novel genetic circuits in cells.
Findings could help fishery and wildlife managers monitor their stocks before disaster strikes.
For the first time, researchers find prions in wild strains of yeast, and show they can help the organisms withstand stress.
