Arrears (breaks through) of 2006
DNA of Neanderthal man
In 2006 two groups of scientists announced that they decoded the consecution (order) of the long DNA sections, which were taken out from the Neanderthal man's bone. This kindred branch separated from our ancestors about 450 thousands of years ago.
Ice melting
Two biggest icecaps in the world, in Greenland and Antarctic, start melting faster than they used to. Air laser measurement research and space radar map-making are the evidence of this fact.
Four-legged fish
Petrifaction (fossil) which is 375 million years old represents the remnants of half-fish-half-amphibian. According to all the facts, this is one of the missing links in the process of transition of the vertebrates from water to the dry land. Front extremities of the Tiktaalik fish had middle carpal and elbow joints.
Invisible raincoat
Physics inform that they invented a camouflage coat, which allows a person to disappear. It allows hiding only from micro wave radiation and creates unusual effect of 'transparency'.
Treatment from blindness
Published in October research informs that Ranibizumab medicine improves the vision of about the third part of patients with serious form of age-specific dystrophy of the macula lutea (yellow spot) and the rest of the patients feel better as well. This year the medicine was approved in the USA.
The look inside the cell
This year biologists had a chance with the help of a Gemology Microscopes to peep into the inner work of a cell and albumen. The scientists broke down barrier, which was created by the length of light wave.
Memory molecules
Several researches which took place in 2006, show that remembrance forms up because of the process, which strengthens connections between separate nerve cells. This process helps us to remember events of our past.
Interaction of RNA
Scientists confirm the idea that genes are being controlled by small RNA molecules, which are near of kin to the DNA. A new type of DNA molecules was discovered which are able to interact with genes, possibly they are responsible for gametal cell development.
