Akey’s team found even those reference groups had trace amounts of Neanderthal DNA, likely brought by travelers. With IBDmix, ...

The Earth BioGenome Project seeks to genetically profile over a million plants, animals, and fungi as they build an atlas of ...

The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium ...

Biologists at Washington University in St. Louis have discovered the origin of a curious duplication that gives plants multiple ways to override instructions that are coded into their DNA.

Biologists have investigated the inner workings of DNA methylation in plants. Their findings could help engineer crops that are more resilient to environmental changes, like heat or drought stress.

The "RNA world" hypothesis proposes that the earliest life on Earth may have been based on RNA -; a single-stranded molecule similar in many ways to DNA -; like some modern viruses. This is because, ...

The novel approach uses AI to design synthetic DNA switches, known as cis-regulatory elements (CREs), which can precisely regulate gene activity in specific tissues or cell types. A key challenge ...

In the VOC-receiving plants, hydrocarbons like β-caryophyllene can regulate gene expression by interacting with the chromatin, a structure that controls DNA accessibility. This process ...

The state-of-the-art plant employs a mechanical-hydrometallurgical process, achieving a remarkable 96 percent recovery rate of valuable materials. The facility, representing an investment of tens ...
