Roger Innes’ pioneering work in synthetic biology could significantly impact agriculture by introducing sustainable ways of fighting pests and diseases ...

To mark International Women’s Day on 8 March, six award-winning female scientists highlight women who have inspired them by pushing innovative research and creating opportunities for others.

Mammalian cells present RNA-binding proteins on the cell surface that form clustered domains containing glycoRNAs.

Transgenic expression of a double-stranded RNA in plants can induce silencing of homologous mRNAs in fungal pathogens. Although such host-induced g...

Arabidopsis thaliana was the first plant for which a high-quality genome sequence became available. The publication of the first reference genome sequence almost 25 years ago was already accompanied b...

Eastman, Jiang, and Ficco et al. screen 165 root-associated bacteria for suppression of plant immune activation and growth restriction induced by the peptide immune elicitor flg22. They show that Dyella japonica uses the type II secreted subtilase IssA to cleave the peptide immune elicitors flg22 and AtPEP1 and suppress plant immune activation.

Researchers in the MIT Jameel Clinic for Machine Learning in Health developed a fully open-source biomolecular structure prediction model that achieves state-of-the-art performance, at the level of Al...
