Scientists compared global strains of the fungus that causes maize anthracnose, discovering that major DNA reshuffling and broken genes help drive strain diversity.
A comparative genomic study reveals that the hardy microbe Deinococcus radiodurans is most closely related to Deinococcus wulumuqiensis, holding shared tools for survival across chromosomes and an extra DNA ring.
Using long-read DNA sequencing on wild mosquitoes revealed over 250,000 hidden structural changes in their genome, including 56 major mutations linked to insecticide resistance.
Human stem cells grown in a clean recipe free of animal products divided much faster than usual while staying genetically stable and functional.
Scientists isolated a novel bacteriophage called APU1 from Bangladeshi dairy farm soil. The virus completely bursts resilient Bacillus bacteria without carrying unwanted toxins or antibiotic resistance genes.
Bacteria can sense invading phages when a viral cutting enzyme accidentally snips a built-in tripwire, switching on an ancient defence pathway.
In a clinical trial, scientists used base editing directly inside a patient's liver to correct over half of the mutated genes causing Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.
A pioneering trial showed that viral delivery of gene-editing tools can restore muscle proteins in people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. However, a fatal immune reaction in one patient reveals a dangerously narrow safety margin.
Adding a chemical layer called MGDA beneath solar films anchors moving molecules, creating smoother crystals and boosting efficiency up to 25.50%.
A computer framework called CMS-NAS automatically designs tiny, accurate neural networks to predict epileptic seizures from brain activity. It combines image filters, memory models, and brain-like spiking neurons to run on low-power wearable chips.
