Cicada Genomes Decoded to Safeguard a Traditional Medicine’s Future
1+ day, 5+ hour ago (55+ words) In the world of traditional Chinese medicine, few raw materials are as quietly ubiquitous as Cicadae Periostracum, the papery slough that cicadas abandon when they molt from nymph to adult. For centuries, this discarded exoskeleton has been prescribed for sore…...
Transposable Elements Drive the Birth of Vast Satellite DNA Repertoires in
1+ day, 6+ hour ago (597+ words) The genomes of true frogs have long puzzled geneticists. Amphibians are famous for carrying some of the largest and most repetitive genomes among vertebrates, and yet the detailed architecture of their repetitive DNA has remained poorly explored compared with mammals,…...
Collagen Switch Turns Fish Fins Into Limb-Like Structures
1+ day, 8+ hour ago (83+ words) When the first fish lineage crawled onto land some 375 million years ago, its fins had to be remodeled into limbs capable of bearing weight. Evolutionary biologists have long focused on the genes that pattern the skeleton—Hox clusters, Sonic hedgehog,…...
Mole-Rat Genes Evolving Faster Than Expected Reveal Secrets of Subterranean
1+ day, 10+ hour ago (568+ words) Beneath the sun-baked soils of eastern and southern Africa, a family of rodents has quietly rewritten the rules of mammalian life. Naked mole-rats resist cancer, tolerate near-anoxic conditions and barely age. Damaraland mole-rats dig elaborate tunnel networks and live in…...
Microalgae Turn Tannery Wastewater Into Clean Water and Valuable Fatty
1+ day, 13+ hour ago (673+ words) Tannery wastewater is among the most stubborn industrial effluents to treat. Each tonne of processed hide can generate roughly 30 to 34 cubic meters of tannery industrial effluent, a complex cocktail of organic matter, ammonia, sulfides, oils, suspended solids, and chromium....
Chemists Deploy Palladium to Switch Off and On a Key Amino Acid in Living
1+ day, 14+ hour ago (703+ words) Phenylalanine rarely gets top billing in discussions of molecular biology, yet this unassuming aromatic amino acid quietly underpins some of the most fundamental processes in the cell....
Key Gene Controlling Stem Diameter in Flax Identified by Genome-Wide Study
2+ day, 8+ hour ago (805+ words) Lodging, the structural failure of crop stems that bend or collapse under their own weight or under the pressure of wind and rain, remains one of the most persistent threats to agricultural productivity worldwide....
Efficient Agrobacterium transformation developed for biofuel crop Brassica
2+ day, 9+ hour ago (55+ words) Scientists in Australia have developed a robust and reproducible genetic transformation system for Brassica carinata, an ancient East African oilseed that is rapidly emerging as one of the most promising non-food feedstocks for sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel. The…...
Dual RNA-seq Reveals Parasite Virulence Genes and Crab Immune Responses
3+ day, 13+ hour ago (861+ words) In the crowded waters of China’s eastern coast, the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus has long been one of aquaculture’s most valuable commodities, and one of its most vulnerable. A microscopic scuticociliate parasite called Mesanophrys sp. invades the crab’s hemolymph, dismantles…...
Crispr fine-tuning unlocks vitamin C-rich potatoes without yield loss
4+ day, 20+ hour ago (345+ words) | Newswise Newswise Crispr fine-tuning unlocks vitamin C-rich potatoes without yield loss A schematic diagram illustrating the changes in Vc content mediated by CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing of the uorf-StGGP1-A/B. Potato is a central pillar of global food security, yet…...
