Photocaged FLP Recombinase for Precise Spatio-temporal Control of Gene Expression
Abstract The ability to precisely control gene expression is fundamental to studying biological processes. Using site-specific recombinases such as Cre or FLP, gene expression can be controlled, albeit with limited spatiotemporal precision, dictated by the expression profile of the promoters used to drive them. Here we develop a photocaged FLP recombinase which can be efficiently and precisely controlled using l ight.

Drones help map Iceland's disappearing glaciers
MEDIA CONTACT Available for logged-in reporters only TYPE OF ARTICLE Research Results SECTION SCIENCE CHANNELS Climate Science, Environmental Science, Geology, History, Technology Newswise — A new 3D process which involves old aerial photos and modern-day drone photography has shed light on accelerated ice loss from some of Iceland's largest glaciers.
‘Heartbreaking’ aerial shots reveal massive ice loss on Mont Blanc

Walter Mittelholzer, Eta-Bibliothek Zürick & Dr. Kieran Baxter, University of Dundee Depressing new aerial photographs of Mont Blanc reveal the extent of ice loss over time in the Alps. A century ago, the Swiss pilot and photographer Walter Mittelholzer flew over Mont Blanc in a biplane to photograph the alpine landscape.
Ce qu’un siècle de changement climatique a fait au plus grand glacier français
Un peu comme un Google Earth à lui tout seul, Eduard Spelterini, pionnier de l’aviation suisse, emmena le 8 août 1909 un ballon à gaz de Chamonix jusqu’en Suisse, parcourant 160 km au-dessus du massif alpin. Si cette traversée aérienne des Alpes centrales, d’ouest en est, fut une première, elle revêt aujourd’hui une signification particulière dont Spelterini n’avait alors pas conscience.
What a century of climate change has done to France's biggest glacier
Like a one-man Google Earth, Swiss aviation pioneer Eduard Spelterini flew a gas-filled balloon from the French town of Chamonix to Switzerland on August 8, 1909 – a distance of 100 miles over the Alps. While the flight was extraordinary for being the first aerial crossing of the central Alps from west to east, it now holds a special significance of which Spelterini was unaware.
