New work by scientists in the U.S. and China shows how a fertilized egg cell, or zygote, hits 'reset' so that the newly formed embryo can develop according to its own genetic program. The study was published July 17 in Nature . It has been known for some time that the genome of a newly fertilized egg cell is inactive and has to be woken up, said Richard Schultz, research professor at the University of California, Davis, School of Veterinary Medicine and a corresponding author on the paper. This step is called zygote genome activation.

Shadow Home Affairs and Cyber Security Minister James Paterson says immigrants are coming into Australia in 'extraordinary numbers'. Mr Paterson's comments come after the business community warned the government of slowing down migration and the impact it could have. 'By the end of this year, I've been told by people in the industry, it's going to be eye-wateringly high numbers,' Mr Paterson told Sky News Australia. 'For the business community to dismiss the impacts of that on people's rent, on their mortgages on their ability to get into the housing market, is dangerously out of touch for them.

Proteins called transcription factors are like molecular traffic cops that tell genes when to stop and go. If they malfunction - what scientists refer to as dysregulation - transcription factors stop orchestrating healthy gene expression and instead become a driving force for diseases like cancer. Unsurprisingly, dysregulated transcription factors have garnered a lot of attention from researchers hoping to create new treatments for disease. But transcription factors have proven hard to drug, in part because they work in the context of various interdependent signaling molecules in the cell.

The United States condemns the Hong Kong Police Force's issuance of an international bounty for information leading to the arrest of eight pro-democracy activists who no longer live in Hong Kong. The extraterritorial application of the Beijing-imposed National Security Law is a dangerous precedent that threatens the human rights and fundamental freedoms of people all over the world. We call on the Hong Kong government to immediately withdraw this bounty, respect other countries' sovereignty, and stop the international assertion of the National Security Law imposed by Beijing.

As companies buy more solar, wind and other forms of emissions-free power, they are exploring carbon accounting options that move beyond 'annual matching,' the standard of offsetting one's electricity use by buying at least the same amount of clean energy over a year whether or not it can be delivered to the purchaser. Information on these emerging approaches — carbon matching and 24/7 hourly purchase — as well as on standardized renewable energy power purchase agreements and the role corporations can plan in supporting emissions-free 'firm' and 'peaking' resources like advanced geothermal power can be found in the Utility Dive stories below.
