We’ve all used them. Whether at festivals, campgrounds, construction sites, or even weddings, porta potties are an unavoidable—and often underappreciated—part of modern life. They’re the unsung heroes of moments when bathrooms are few and far between, faithfully answering nature’s call, one flushless visit at a time. But how do porta potties work, exactly? They’re so

KD with CasRx CasRx17, specifically NLS-RfxCas13d-NLS (Addgene, 109049), was used in combination with target-specific gRNAs for KD of targeted transcripts. A deep-learning-based tool66 was used to design gRNA spacer sequences targeting the genes of interest. These spacer sequences were filtered to exclude homopolymers (more than four As, more than three Cs, Gs or Ts). Spacer

Isolation of alga, virus and BAM from a G. huxleyi bloom G. huxleyi strain RCC6946, the virus EhV-M1 and the BAM were isolated from an induced G. huxleyi bloom during the AQUACOSM VIMS-Ehux mesocosm experiment conducted near Bergen, Norway, in 201824. For algal isolation, a water sample collected from mesocosm bag 4 during the bloom

Explanation: The sky glows with soft pinkish colors of fading twilight in this serendipitous mountaintop vista. Taken in subfreezing temperatures, the thoughtfully composed photo shows snowy, rugged peaks seen from a mountain pass on 2017 November 14. Below lies the village of La Villa, Alta Badia in Italy’s Dolomite Alps. Above the nestled village lights,
