A newly developed software can simulate the growth of field crops based on a single image, supporting farmers in decision making.

Mass General Brigham researchers analyzed 4,400 cognitively unimpaired adults with amyloid imaging, finding increased amyloid in those who reported that their mothers had symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).

Researchers have successfully mapped the complete genome of the endangered Przewalski’s horse in order to help preserve the species.

New research shows that many of these CRISPR screening experiments rely on components, called CRISPR/Cas9 guides, that do not perform equally well in cells from people of all ancestries, which can cause CRISPR screens to miss cancer dependencies.

A multiomics approach has identified four distinct molecular profiles of Alzheimer's, one of which was associated with worse cognitive function.

"Sweaty genes" that confer better adaptation to heat have been identified in cattle.

Plants that have been genetically engineered to produce breast milk sugars could help improve infant formula.

New research led by the University of Utah and University College London (UCL) has found that plant bacterial pathogens are able to repurpose elements of their own bacteriophages, or phages, to wipe out competing microbes.

For the first time, researchers from the University of Tokyo successfully edited genes using the CRISPR technique in a highly resilient tardigrade species previously impossible to study with genome-editing tools.

The glassy, amber-like polymer can be used for long-term storage of DNA, such as entire human genomes or digital files such as photos.
