| Ancient warming greened Antarctica, study finds Posted: 17 Jun 2012 02:03 PM PDT A new study finds ancient Antarctica was much warmer and wetter than previously suspected. The climate was suitable to support substantial vegetation -- including stunted trees -- along the edges of the frozen continent.  |

A new study has found hundreds more lariats than ever before, yielding new information about how splicing occurs and how it can lead to disease.  |
