Researchers at UC San Diego have demonstrated that one of biology’s most essential enzymes can accurately read and transcribe an expanded genetic alphabet containing eight DNA letters instead of the four used by all known life.

If you’ve ever watched a baby try to grab a toy, you know how awkward those first movements can be. Scientists at the University of Ottawa have taken a big step in identifying the neural changes behind motor control by observing zebrafish go from clumsy swimmers to graceful gliders.

Yale School of Medicine (YSM) has been awarded a grant of nearly $25 million by the Aligning Research to Impact Autism (ARIA) initiative. The award, which is part of ARIA’s Human Developmental Neurobiology Research Hub , focuses on building foundational maps and models of the developing human brain and clarifying how and when autism diverges from typical development.
New research involving more than one million Australian feedlot cattle has found that the strongest predictors of death from bovine respiratory disease (BRD) are established before animals even enter the feedlot, highlighting the importance of preventive measures on source properties.

As it tries to defend itself from stroke, the brain can paradoxically trigger the formation of tiny new clots in minor blood vessels, damaging tissue even after the original culprit has been removed, new research shows. The findings help explain why nearly half of treated stroke patients don’t recover — and identify potential new treatments.

A desire to drive change in Australia’s response to children experiencing violence, abuse and neglect led Natasha Stott Despoja AO to accept the role of chair of the Advisory Board for the Australian Centre for Child Protection (ACCP) at Adelaide University.
Around one in four heart surgery patients develop serious lung complications – but a new Adelaide-led study is testing a simple bedside scan that could predict who is most at risk before symptoms appear.

For its review of the Bail Act 1985 (SA), the South Australian Law Reform Institute (SALRI) is now commencing its community engagement, including visits to towns in regional South Australia, to seek input from interested parties and individuals.
Soil salinization poses a serious threat to global rice production. At present, the natural‑variation‑based genetic basis of rice salt tolerance remains poorly understood, and only a handful of major genes related to salt tolerance have been functionally characterized. It is critical to identify key gene modules in salt signaling pathways. In a study published in Developmental Cell on August 28, a

Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) possess the capacity for self-renewal and multilineage differentiation, along with high genome stability. Maintaining high-level ribosome biogenesis is essential for ESCs to sustain their identity, and this process begins with RNA polymerase I-mediated transcription of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) genes. In ESCs, rDNA loci exhibit a hyperactive chromatin state, characterized by
