Structural color is an optical phenomenon resulting from light interacting with nanostructured materials. Although structural color (SC) is widespread in the tree of life, the underlying genetics and genomics are not well understood. Here, we collected and sequenced a set of 87 structurally colored bacterial isolates and 30 related strains lacking SC.

Therefore, the need for accurate and reliable volumetric tumor monitoring is important. Currently, a volumetric cutoff of 20% increase in tumor volume is widely used to define tumor growth in VS.

- Understanding the link between temperature and carbon dioxide levels is crucial for predicting future climate changes.
- This study examines carbon dioxide concentrations over the last 15 million years using fossilized compounds found in sediment from a specific site off the California coast.
- The findings show a decline in carbon dioxide levels from 650 to 280 parts per million (ppm) over this time, leading to higher average sensitivity estimates for temperature changes compared to current global warming predictions by the IPCC.
Unlabelled: Evaluation of guidelines in actual practice is a crucial step in guideline improvement. A retrospective evaluation of the Dutch guideline for children with fever without an apparent source (FWS) showed 50% adherence in young infants. We prospectively evaluated adherence to the Dutch guideline and its impact on management in current practice.
