A recent study from researchers at the University of Toulouse has revealed a fascinating insight into the origins of life on land. The study, published in Science, highlights how a gene transfer ...

GAO Caixia's group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has developed a new method of downregulating gene translation to a predictable and ...

Gene editing has enormous potential to help feed the world’s growing population, but it’s currently difficult, time-consuming ...

A Nicotiana plant shows spotty photobleaching of leaves thanks to gene editing accomplished with a virus. The new technique allows edited traits to be passed to the next generation while avoiding some ...

Climate change tests the resilience of farmers and their crops. To better understand how plants respond to their dynamic environments, scientists magnify the complex biological conversations between ...

Scientists explored the evolutionary success of leaf beetles, the most diverse herbivores on Earth. They showed that symbioses with bacteria have evolved repeatedly and independently in different ...

A recent bioinformatics-based study conducted by Goethe University Frankfurt has investigated which organisms possess the enzymatic tools necessary for degrading cellulose in dead wood and leaves.
