Precise manipulation of large genomic fragments is a critical need in crop breeding and synthetic biology. In crop genomes, superior traits are often associated with structural variations. However, existing large-fragment editing tools such as CRISPR-Cas systems and site-specific recombinases have limitations. In 2024, the development of the bridge RNA-guided IS110-family recombinase system provid

DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) are posing serious threats to genome stability. During mitosis, cells mainly rely on polymerase theta (Polθ) -mediated repair to fix these breaks. However, how the CIP2A-TOPBP1 complex regulates this process remains unclear. In a study published in PNAS , a team led by Prof. ZHAO Guoping from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Science

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

Scientists had noticed that HPV was often present in cervical cancer. But was it merely present, or did it drive the growth of cancer? Munger was able to show th
Using a new combination of computational tools to analyze ancient DNA , Yale researchers have discovered two ancient, extinct giant tortoise lineages that once lived on the Galapagos Islands.
