The 2026 call has attracted considerable interest from the research community with 21,627 applications submitted.

How genes determine the development of chiral structures is a fascinating question. The reciprocal placement of female and male organs on opposite sides of mirror-image flowers promotes efficient cros...

BETHESDA, MD—The National Institutes of Health announced Tuesday that it would replace its 50-year-old numerical scoring system with a streamlined three-emoji format, in which grant applications will ...

Scientists share help and advice on how they got their research discussions flowing.

The model plant Arabidopsis thaliana has been a workhorse of plant biology since the 1950s, when the Columbia-0 (Col-0) accession was widely adopted by the research community as a reference genotype. ...

A longstanding mystery in antibody diversification is how AID specifically targets immunoglobulin V genes. Ancient LINE-1 retrotransposons embedded within the immunoglobulin locus provide a recruitmen...

By modifying six genes in the hawkmoth-pollinated Petunia axillaris, Lüthi and Chopy et al. reconstructed the evolutionary shift to bee-pollinated P. secreta. The engineered mimic is indistinguishable...

Today in Science and science: Ice age hunters’ penchant for female mammoths, a detailed vagal map, and more

This study reports a bivalent factor, ULTRAPETALA1, that can counteract as well as promote PRC2 activity at hundreds of developmental genes in Arabidopsis thaliana. The pro-PRC2 activity of ULTRAPETAL...

Notre langue « ordinaire » peut-elle décrire correctement un savoir scientifique et des concepts très précis ?

During morphogenesis of multicellular organs, cells in distinct positions need to meet specific functional requirements to form the appropriate tissue…

Voici une longue note. Avant de me sauter dessus dans les commentaires, prière de jeter un oeil sur la bibliographie, qui a été toute aus...

PhD position in evolutionary genomics, Department of Ecology and Genetics, Uppsala University

I wanted to like QED's new 1% ranking. I don't.

Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) establishes transcriptional repression through trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 (H3K27me3), a modification essential for developmental patterning. Here, we d...

Pour l'indépendance de l'enseignement supérieur et de la recherche Le 11 juin 2026, l'Université de Montpellier a signé une convention avec TotalEnergies prévoyant l’intervention directe de salariés e...

ROCKVILLE, MD—The Biophysical Society confirmed Tuesday that it has spent its entire $14,000 annual advertising budget on a single advertisement on the side of a Washington, D.C., Metrobus that reads…
