Genomes
Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of genetics, shedding new light on the genome of the hoverfly (Brachypalpoides lentus Meigen, 1822). The study, which is part of the Darwin Tree of Life project, aimed to produce reference genomes for eukaryotic species found
Butterflies
A recent study has shed new light on the genetics of the False Heath Fritillary, a species of butterfly found in Europe. The research, conducted at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, has successfully assembled a genome from a male specimen of Melitaea diamina. The assembly contains two haplotypes with total lengths
Genomes
Scientists at the Natural History Museum have achieved a milestone in genome assembly by successfully mapping the genetic code of the Flame Carpet moth, Xanthorhoe designata. This breakthrough, made possible through the Darwin Tree of Life project, has shed light on the intricacies of the moth's genome and
Genomics
Research conducted at China Nuclear Power Engineering Co. Ltd. has led to a significant discovery in the field of biotechnology. Investigators isolated a microorganism, Cytobacillus sp. BC1816, from a Pacific Ocean marine sediment sample that can thrive on polystyrene plastic as its only carbon source. This breakthrough has the potential
Genomics
Current research results on life sciences - genome biology have been published, showing that DNA cytosine modifications, including 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), are key epigenetic regulators with distinct functions. Researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have developed a novel approach to map 265 base-resolution ternary-code modification
Genomics
Researchers have identified Enterobacter hormaechei as a crucial bloodstream pathogen in six tertiary care hospitals in southwestern Nigeria. The study utilized whole-genome sequencing to characterize Enterobacter species from hospitals in Nigeria's antimicrobial resistance surveillance system. Bloodstream Enterobacter isolates from six sentinel tertiary-care hospitals recovered between 2014 and 2020
Genetic research
Researchers from Hainan University have developed a novel approach to estimating genome size using HiFi reads, a type of high-fidelity genomic sequencing technology. This method, known as LVgs, leverages the continuity and accuracy of HiFi reads to provide precise genome size estimates, demonstrating high accuracy and robustness across various species,
