[ad_1] An international research collaboration, which includes scientists from the University of Adelaide’s Waite Research Institute, has unlocked a new genetic variation in wheat and barley, a major impetus for the global effort in breeding high-grade wheat and barley varieties. yield. Researchers from the 10+ Wheat Genomes project, led by …

View More Credit: Maximilian Stammnitz A transmissible cancer in the Tasmanian devil has evolved over the past two decades, with some lineages spreading and replacing others, according to a new study …

[ad_1] Crop scientists over the years have learned a lot about how plants grow above the ground, but much less is known about roots and their interactions with the soil. Now, a Cornell project funded by two separate three-year grants will develop worm-like soil swimming robots to detect and record …

[ad_1] Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.November 23, 2020 Doctors and scientists are constantly looking for new disease genes that can help them understand why patients have undiagnosed medical problems. Often the first clues come from genetic tests that reveal a change or mutation in a gene that they see in …

[ad_1] Scientists have developed a new therapy that they believe can actually reverse aging at the genetic level. By breathing pure oxygen into a hyperbaric chamber five days a week for three months, the team were able to effectively reverse the age of chromosomal telomeres. More research is obviously needed …

[ad_1] Pharmacy professor Tim Bugni led a UW-Madison effort to identify new antimicrobials from poorly studied ecosystems. School of Pharmacy Combing the ocean for antimicrobials, scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a new antifungal compound that effectively targets multi-drug-resistant strains of deadly fungi without toxic side effects in …

[ad_1] After that domestication event, some things seem to have remained constant. According to the team’s findings, after dogs separated from wolves over 11,000 years ago, wolves never made a major re-entry into dog populations (until, perhaps, the contemporary wolf dog craze). Given that dogs and wolves belong to the …

[ad_1] Reviewed by Emily Henderson, B.Sc.November 11, 2020 Michigan State University researchers have identified a potential genetic target for the treatment of a particularly painful and invasive form of endometriosis. Their study published in Cell reports, a scientific journal, could lead to better treatments for women suffering from severe forms …

[ad_1] Philadelphia, November 10, 2020 – The causes of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), including genetic and environmental factors, are not fully understood. Many studies have already shown that severe maternal infection during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk to offspring in both humans and animals. New research, however, shows …
