TL;DR: Natural reserves and preserves are protected areas set aside for various purposes: preservation of wilderness and of biodiversity, for scientific research, preservation of specific natural, cultural, or traditional attributes, for sustainable use of resources, and for tourism, and education as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: Natural reserves and preserves are protected areas set aside for various purposes: preservation of wilderness and of biodiversity, for scientific research, preservation of specific natural, cultural, or traditional attributes, for sustainable use of resources, and for tourism, and education. Worldwide, over 100,000 such areas collectively cover ∼12.5% of Earth's land surface. Over 5000 marine protected areas cover ∼1.2% of the area of the oceans. Examples of different types of reserves and preserves are described. Natural areas make many critical contributions to conserving unique habitats, but confront many threats and face an uncertain future in a world undergoing rapid climate change.

TL;DR: Fifteen pure peptides, ranging in length from 2 to 141 residues, were isolated from the tryptic digest of maleylated flagellin, establishing the order of three of the CNBr peptides at the NH2 terminus and of three at the COOH terminus of flageLLin.

TL;DR: The results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome are reported and an initial analysis is presented, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.
Abstract: The human genome holds an extraordinary trove of information about human development, physiology, medicine and evolution. Here we report the results of an international collaboration to produce and make freely available a draft sequence of the human genome. We also present an initial analysis of the data, describing some of the insights that can be gleaned from the sequence.

TL;DR: Semiconductor nanocrystals prepared for use as fluorescent probes in biological staining and diagnostics have a narrow, tunable, symmetric emission spectrum and are photochemically stable.
Abstract: Semiconductor nanocrystals were prepared for use as fluorescent probes in biological staining and diagnostics. Compared with conventional fluorophores, the nanocrystals have a narrow, tunable, symmetric emission spectrum and are photochemically stable. The advantages of the broad, continuous excitation spectrum were demonstrated in a dual-emission, single-excitation labeling experiment on mouse fibroblasts. These nanocrystal probes are thus complementary and in some cases may be superior to existing fluorophores.

TL;DR: Highly luminescent semiconductor quantum dots (zinc sulfide-capped cadmium selenide) have been covalently coupled to biomolecules for use in ultrasensitive biological detection and these nanometer-sized conjugates are water-soluble and biocompatible.
Abstract: Highly luminescent semiconductor quantum dots (zinc sulfide-capped cadmium selenide) have been covalently coupled to biomolecules for use in ultrasensitive biological detection. In comparison with organic dyes such as rhodamine, this class of luminescent labels is 20 times as bright, 100 times as stable against photobleaching, and one-third as wide in spectral linewidth. These nanometer-sized conjugates are water-soluble and biocompatible. Quantum dots that were labeled with the protein transferrin underwent receptor-mediated endocytosis in cultured HeLa cells, and those dots that were labeled with immunomolecules recognized specific antibodies or antigens.
