Our real-world memories are formed in a particular context and are often not acquired or recalled in isolation. Time is a key variable in the organization...
Cultivated oat (Avena sativa) is an allohexaploid crop thought to have been domesticated more than 3,000 years ago while growing as a weed in wheat, emmer...
Current approaches for insect gene editing require microinjection of materials into early embryos. This severely limits the application of gene editing...
A multinational team of scientists has performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis of clinically diagnosed and self-reported hearing impairment on...
Using samples brought back from NASA’s Apollo 11, 12, and 17 missions, University of Florida biologists showed that a model terrestrial plant, Arabidopsis...
To test their hypothesis that the eastern moa (Emeus crassus), an extinct flightless bird from New Zealand, survived the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) in...
Scientists have sequenced the genome of a desert dingo (Canis dingo) from a remote region of South Australia and compared it with those of five breeds...
Twenty years after scientists from the Human Genome Project produced the first draft human genome sequence, the Telomere to Telomere (T2T) Consortium has...
Scientists from Monash University and elsewhere have sequenced and assembled the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes of the helmeted honeyeater (Lichenostomus...
Queensland Brain Institute’s Dr. Timothy Bredy and colleagues have discovered an experience-induced non-coding RNA, named ADRAM (activity-dependent lncRNA...
The reality of bringing back the thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalus), also known as the Tasmanian tiger or the marsupial wolf, from extinction using its...
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research and elsewhere have decoded the genome of the potato cultivar ‘Otava.’ Their results...
Insecticide resistance and rapid pest evolution threatens food security and the development of sustainable agricultural practices, yet the evolutionary...
Two teams of genetic researchers have sequenced the genome of the numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus), a critically endangered Australian insectivorous marsupial...
An international team of researchers has extracted and analyzed ancient DNA from fragmentary remains of 12 individuals of the Steller’s sea cow (Hydrodamalis...
The European mistletoe (Viscum album) is a hemiparasitic flowering plant steeped in ancient associations with druids and Northern European folklore. Since...
Using the TwinsUK panel, an international team of researchers led by the National University of Singapore examined the extent to which genetic versus environmental...
Researchers have assembled a catalog of 1,431 genomes, inclusive of ancient canines, modern breed dogs, and wild canids, in a search for genetic variants...
Shifts in the gut microbiota of the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) in the season when nutritious bamboo shoots become available helps the herbivorous...
