From these, we extracted extremely long fragments of DNA needed to produce a genome assembly. This is a digital representation of every base or “letter” that makes up the marsupial mole’s ...

Key findings highlight the role of horizontal gene transfer, the incorporation of foreign bacterial genetic material into the beetle genome, which is thought to be the result of earlier symbioses.

Genome India project: The Department of Biotechnology recently announced its new platform and framework for sharing its 10,000 human genome dataset. The sequences of healthy individuals — from 99 ...

In the second instalment of this three-part series, we speak with Pearlyn Sim of @ppdadventure. An obsession with microscopic creatures – tardigrades – led Pearlyn Sim to turn a hobby into a side ...

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the achievement of the Genome India Project, which sequenced 10,000 genomes despite COVID-19 challenges. This milestone advances biotechnology and India's ...

Kyle Shanahan gives update on 49ers QB Brock Purdy elbow injury We've Probably Been Wrong About T. Rex Again, Study Says I've been on 50 cruises. Here are 5 things I never buy on the ships. The ...

To go back to tardigrades: Their resilience is also genetically-based, with tardigrade genome DNA being as odd as they are. Fully one-sixth of the genome has been scavenged by horizontal gene transfer ...

Researchers from BioBright describe Tardigrade as dynamically recompiling itself based on the environment, thereby constantly changing signatures. If that sounds a little too breathless and ...
