Researchers led by Prof. LU Falong at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, together with collaborators, have utilized poly(A)-inclusive RNA isoform sequencing (PAIso-seq) and PAIso-seq2 methods to comprehensively profile the poly(A)-tail-inclusive full-length transcriptome in human oocytes and embryos.

Researchers from Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Nankai University reported a small molecule compound named S89 that can specifically activate mitochondrial outer membrane fusion protein MFN1 and repair multiple types of mitochondrial damage.

Recently, a research group led by Prof. GUI Jianfang from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences identified the causal gene of dragon-eye and albino phenotypes of goldfish and developed a precise molecular design breeding biotechnology.

In a recent study, researchers from the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden explored the biological functions of PHOSPHATE STARVATION RESPONSE1 in phosphorous deficiency-induced anthocyanin biosynthesis, by using molecular and genetic methods.

In a recent study, Prof. CHEN Mingsheng's group from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology reassembled a high-quality chromosome-scale genome sequence of the broomcorn millet.

A research group led by Prof. SUN Yonghua from the Institute of Hydrobiology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences demonstrated that maternal Nanog regulates oogenesis and early embryogenesis through translational control of maternal mRNA via a novel mechanism, in which Nanog acts as a transcriptional repressor to suppress transcription of eef1a1l2.

Teams from Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences developed two different types of precise systems to prepare target cryo-lamellae. They proposed a scheme to use fluorescence imaging to navigate cryo-FIB milling, and separately developed the integrated correlative light and electron microscopy (CLEM) cryo-FIB system, named as ELI-TriScope and CLIEM respectively.

Recently, a research group led by Prof. HE Shunping from the Institute of Hydrobiology (IHB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences demonstrated the speciation theory of sympatric speciation.

Researchers from the Wuhan Botanical Garden, together with collaborators from Huazhong Agricultural University, have screened 1,113 yeast strains and identified an antagonistic yeast, Meyerozyma guilliermondii 37, which can effectively inhibit kiwifruit soft rot, and significantly reduce natural decay in stored kiwifruit without affecting soft-ripe quality.

Researchers from the Institute of Zoology and the Beijing Institute of Genomics have revealed that the youngest subfamily of endogenous retroviruse is awakened during aging, they proposed a new theory of programed and contagious aging induced by resurrection of endogenous retroviruses.

Recently, researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new multicolor SMLM method called excitation-resolved stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (ExR-STORM).

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology and Anhui Medical University realized the high-quality cryopreservation of mouse preantral follicles (PAFs) based on biomimetics and physical field-assisted ice inhibition.
