17+ hour, 28+ min ago   (218+ words) First of all, data farms are not going away, but there is universal concern about how these monstrosities affect the environment. The digital age has reached a crucial point with worldwide data generating 200 “zettabytes” by 2025 and a projection of a…...

1+ day, 19+ min ago   (529+ words) Every cell in the brain carries essentially the same genome, yet the same gene can produce a startling variety of RNA molecules. Through a process called alternative splicing, segments of a gene’s transcript can be included, skipped, or rearranged, generating…...

1+ day, 1+ hour ago   (587+ words) A team of researchers in China has sequenced the first complete mitochondrial genome of the jumping plant louse Bactericera gobica and, by combining it with nearly every other Triozidae mitogenome available, assembled the most comprehensive genetic dataset ever compiled for…...

1+ day, 3+ hour ago   (618+ words) Every day, computational biologists release new methods for analyzing genomes, single cells, microbiomes and molecular signatures, and every day researchers struggle with the same question: which method actually works best for their data? The answer usually depends on benchmarks—structured…...

1+ day, 4+ 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,…...

1+ day, 5+ hour ago   (580+ words) Plant height may seem like a simple trait, but in soybean it sits at the heart of one of agriculture’s most consequential trade-offs. Tall plants can shade weeds and capture light, yet they topple in wind and rain, complicate harvest,…...

1+ day, 6+ hour ago   (512+ words) Researchers have introduced DartUniFrac, a new software tool designed to carry out UniFrac-based microbiome comparisons at a scale that was previously impractical....

1+ day, 11+ hour ago   (620+ words) Every heartbeat, every twitch of a fin, and every dividing cell in a fish embryo depends on a molecular machine so ancient that its origins trace back billions of years. Oxidative phosphorylation, or OXPHOS, is the process by which cells…...
