A new study of gibbons has resolved key debates about their evolutionary history, providing critical insights for conservation efforts and presenting extensive genomic resources. These include chromosome-level reference genomes for all four genera, as well as whole-genome resequencing of 18 extant species.
A new study led by Prof. WANG Guodong from the Kunming Institute of Zoology provides insights into the parallel migration patterns of dogs and humans across Eastern Eurasia during the Holocene. By analyzing 73 ancient dog genomes, including 17 newly sequenced samples, researchers found that shifts in canine ancestry tracked major human migrations over the past 10,000 years.
In a new study, researchers from the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted a global-scale assessment of methane emissions from mangrove tree stems. They also developed a comprehensive database of these emissions to date.
A research group led by Prof. LIU Zhenfeng from the Institute of Biophysics has now resolved high-resolution three-dimensional structures of the wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana DGAT1 (AtDGAT1) and a low-activity mutant (H447A) using single-particle cryo-electron microscopy.
A team of researchers from the Institute of Subtropical Agriculture of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated that designed synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) can significantly boost crop growth and curb soil-borne diseases, revealing a promising biocontrol strategy.
A research team led by Prof. ZOU Zhen from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with Prof. Alexander S. Raikhel from the University of California, Riverside, has identified a key gene: E93. This gene plays a central role in maintaining metabolic balance throughout the mosquito's reproductive cycle.
