Researchers have never had a complete baseline for understanding the DNA of marmosets, a species of tree-dwelling monkey, until now.
By identifying the genes and molecules crucial to resistance in American chestnuts and other species, researchers hope to use genomic techniques to breed trees that can flourish in the face of blight.
Scientists pieced together the genetic history of Acinetobacter baumannii — a notoriously stubborn hospital pathogen — using samples dating back 50 years to the 1970s.
Scientists say technology could help dismantle lucrative poaching networks.
Advances in genetic engineering have enabled researchers to seek ways to program new life. But has synthetic biology actually changed medicine and the environment, nearly two decades on?
Combining AI with quantum computing could enable doctors and researchers to analyze the human body at an unprecedented molecular level, unlocking breakthroughs in personalized medicine. Yet significant quantum technology hurdles remain before this vision becomes reality.
