标准 DNA 条形码凭借通用引物适配性强和测序成本低等优势，广泛应用于生物多样性保护与溯源等领域。针对近缘种、杂交频繁及近期辐射演化的复杂类群，标准 DNA 条形码因序列变异度有限，分辨率不足，难以满足精准鉴定的需求。尽管基因组浅层测序获取质体全基因组（超级条形码）的策略提升了部分困难类群的鉴别率，但质体基因组的单亲遗传特性使其在杂交渐渗类群分析中存在局限。
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.

Honey bees have long been the model species for studying insect vision. However, new research shows that several smaller bee species might actually have sharper eyesight.
Physicists from the University of Amsterdam have developed a method to print three-dimensional structures in ice. Last December, the work gathered a lot of attention when the researchers 3D-printed a Christmas tree. In the scientific publication that came out this week, the researchers also show how small pillars can be printed under an angle, making it possible to print arbitrary profiles in ice that don’t need any additional support.
The start of the fall semester was marked by new places and faces.

Open government was supposed to bring citizens closer to politics. By making government information publicly available, people would be better informed about the decisions that affect their lives, while at the same time also being able to influence them. According to Guillén Torres Sepulveda, there is actually a downside to this development. In his promotion The Datafying (Civil) Society: Fostering Citizen Agency Beyond Open Government he states that as data becomes increasingly central to polit
How can we ensure that digital government information becomes and remains accessible to everyone who has an interest in it? Erik Saaman, strategic advisor on digital archiving at the National Archives, will investigate this as an Honorary Fellow at the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam.
UK senior Eduarda Frizzo Pereira advanced her academic and research goals through international study in Europe and a summer research internship, preparing for a future career in economics and academia.
As the nation marks its 250th anniversary, America’s rising generation is grappling with a profound sense of estrangement from traditional national pride. Rather than embracing uncritical flag-waving, young Americans view the present state of the union with deep skepticism—even while carving out enduring grounds for optimism rooted in community action, mutual care, and inclusive democratic values.

Nelson Bay orthoreovirus (NBV) was initially discovered in a bat sample but has since been isolated from patients with acute respiratory tract diseases. Accumulating reports of NBV isolation from patients with respiratory tract viral infections suggest that NBV is able to transmit and cause disease in humans. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. We previously established a
