A research group from the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed the enzymatic mechanism for xanthone formation in actinomycetes.

A research team led by Prof. SU Bing from Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with researchers from Tibetan University and Zhengzhou University, discovered the key gene explaining the genetic adaptation of skin color of Tibetans.

With the help of genetic manipulation and advanced biophysical tools, an international research team has gained unexpected insight into how a bacterium uptakes sugars derived from plant feedstock.

The research team led by Prof. ZHU Yongguan and Prof. CUI Li from the Institute of Urban Environment of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a new single-cell functional tool incorporating single-cell Raman-isotope probing, single-cell sorting, and targeted metagenomics to screen and sequence active ARB in native soils.

A research team led by Prof. LI Xinzheng from the Institute of Oceanology performed a comprehensive mitogenomic analysis to explore the evolutionary history of barnacle, and to characterize the genetic adaptive features of barnacles which live in the harsh marine chemosynthetic habitat.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) have systematically analyzed the differences between K. galanga var. galanga and K. galanga var. latifolia using cytology, morphological comparisons of leaves, stomata, flowers, and active compounds.

A research group led by Prof. LI Chuanyou from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology has developed a rapid breeding strategy to generate tomato lines with different colored fruits from red-fruited materials by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated multiplex gene editing.

Recently, researchers from the Beijing Institute of Genomics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported the epigenomic features and profiles of 5hmC in genitourinary cancers, and identified that regional gain and global loss of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine coexist in genitourinary cancers and regulate different oncogenic pathways.

A research group led by Prof. HU Guohong from the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and collaborators have been devoted to the study on cancer metastasis. They recently revealed a new mechanism of lung cancer bone metastasis

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) tried to test whether spatial shifts in the organization and pattern of ecological networks may be driven by species composition turnover, changes in species abundance and/or abiotic effects on species interactions.

In a recent study, researchers from the Qingdao Institute of Bioenergy and Bioprocess Technology have used a technique called 'Raman spectroscopy' to identify the key characteristics of Escherichia coli persister cells.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) and their collaborators tried to identify high priority conservation areas and better understand the eco-geographic adaptations, ranges, and conservation status of diverse Fabaceae taxa in coastal regions of East Africa.
