Computer scientists, bioengineers and AI specialists from the Arc Institute and Stanford University have developed an AI-based model capable of decoding and designing genetic sequences. In their paper published in the journal Science, the group […]

Worldwide, many agricultural soils are deficient in the nutrient zinc—despite the fact that farmers use fertilizers enriched with the element. This limits crop yields and reduces food quality. It’s estimated that roughly a third of […]

Gene mutations have consequences both good and bad—from resistance to conditions like diabetes to susceptibility to certain cancers. In order to study these mutations, scientists need to introduce them directly into human cells. But changing […]

A team of horticulturists, bio-breeders and agriculture specialists affiliated with a host of institutions across China has produced sweeter tomatoes without sacrificing size, weight or yield by altering two of their genes. In their study, […]

A world-first soft robotic hand, developed by researchers at CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, could revolutionize the delicate, labor-intensive process of cultivating baby corals in laboratories, offering a groundbreaking approach to coral restoration efforts.This post […]

Rice leaf veins are essential for plants’ growth and development. They help support the leaves and transport important substances like water, gases, and nutrients throughout the plant. A research team led by Dr. Wu Yuejin […]

Based on non-invasive technology, a research group at the University of Cordoba has created a tool to guarantee optimal strawberry quality and minimize food waste.This post was originally published on this site

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Toronto have developed a new k-mer sketching metagenomic profiler, called sylph, that allows scientists to analyze genomic data more quickly and precisely than other profilers.This post […]

A simple biomaterial-based strategy that can influence the behavior of cells could pave the way for more effective medical treatments such as wound healing, cancer therapy and even organ regeneration, according to a research team […]
