A new study reveals how Lactococcus lactis (L. lactis), a common food bacterium, regulates the production of a key precursor in vitamin Kâ‚‚ (menaquinone) biosynthesis. The bacteria produce enough of this precursor to support ...
The remains of an Antarctic researcher have been discovered by a Polish team among rocks exposed by a receding glacier in Antarctica. They are identified by DNA as those of Dennis "Tink" Bell, a 25-year-old meteorologist ...
Greek doctor and philosopher Hippocrates once said (loosely translated), "life is short, and art is long." History is littered with quotes from great thinkers with the same idea: art endures. But limitations remain. Classic ...
In an advance in legume genomics, researchers from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have produced the first gap-free, telomere-to-telomere (T2T) genome assemblies ...
In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or improved functions is crucial, but current methods are often slow and laborious. Now, Scripps Research scientists have developed a synthetic biology ...
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory conducted a meticulous analysis of the compounds released by plant roots into their surrounding environment. The analysis yielded an abundance of data ...
The targeted engineering of artificial proteins with unique properties is now possible with the assistance of a novel method developed by a research team led by Prof. Dr. Dominik Niopek at the Institute of Pharmacy and Molecular ...
A team of Chinese researchers has developed two new genome editing technologies, known collectively as Programmable Chromosome Engineering (PCE) systems.
Recent advances in computational protein design have depended mainly on neural networks and machine learning to generate binders. However, the complexity of protein–protein interactions and the limitations of data-driven ...
Studying plant vegetative reproduction is key to increasing crop yield and for bioengineering. Kobe University research is making progress in studying the genetic regulation of the process in liverworts, which are ideal model ...
