Irish Examiner Growing problem: Why our food needs a bigger gene pool Cavendish bananas dominate international supermarket trade and are propagated as clones. Their consistency suits growers, shipping companies and shoppers. Unfortunately, it also suits pathogens. Picture: iStock A supermarket…
BioPharma APAC - Illumina Selected to Sequence 450,000 Genomes for Singaporeâs SG-INSIGHT Study 06 November 2026 | Friday | News SG-INSIGHT study will extend whole-genome sequencing to nearly 1 in 10 Singapore residents, generating evidence to inform how precision medicine could be implemented in Singapore's healthcare system Illumina,…
Our cells hold about two meters of DNA, folded and compacted to fit inside a nucleus far narrower than a strand of human hair. That packing is essential for life, but it creates a problem for scientists. Some of the…
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Xiaojun “Lance” Lian, associate professor of biomedical engineering and of biology at Penn State, alongside biomedical engineering doctoral candidate Tahir Haideri contributed to a paper recently published in Matter. The research, led by scientists at the University…

Media Contact: Leila R. Gray - 206-475-9809, [email protected] The genetic material inside a person's cells is not identical throughout the body. Because cells pick up changes throughout life, every one of us has a patchwork of cells with a slightly different genetic sequence,…
The team had previously identified PmFLC-like as a gene that is highly expressed in Prunus mume flower buds during autumn and winter. The gene is conserved as a single copy across several Prunus fruit tree species, a pattern that suggested…
Together, the findings highlight the interplay between dietary ecology, tooth morphology, and molecular evolution in teleost fishes. The combination of ultrastructural imaging and genome-wide selection scans provides a framework for connecting form, function, and genes in a species-rich marine ecosystem…
An octopus has no bones, so it can squeeze through a gap far narrower than its body. It often does that in the wild to escape predators and to catch prey. In a recent study, scientists have deciphered the exact,…
WashU Medicine researchers have verified the accuracy of genetics tools to correctly identify all the rare DNA changes that make up an individual's genomic mosaic, paving the way to understanding these variants' impact on health and disease. Researchers at Washington…
