The basic assumption about the origin of mutations, and thus evolution, could be wrong. New mutations in the genome are likely not randomly distributed, a team led by J. Gray Monroe and Detlef Weigel of the Max Planck Institute for Biology in Tübingen reports in Nature. Overview of recent changes in the thale cress genome …

NAfter the entire genome, researchers map all human cells. For this atlas of human cells, the three teams have now analyzed more than 500 cell types in 33 tissues in one big step and condensed them into rough maps. The teams present their work in the journal “Science”. Another team analyzed cells from embryos. With …

Synthetic biology could become a key technology of the 21st century. Because scientists around the world no longer observe only biological systems, they directly manipulate them using engineering methods. In doing so, they change the code of life and in a way rewrite it. With such an elementary shift, it is clear that researchers are …

Researchers at the University of Trier have developed a method for extracting and evaluating insect genetic material from dried plants. “We tested commercially available teas and herbs and found DNA from up to 400 different insect species in a single tea bag,” said Junior Professor Henrik Krehenwinkel. When a bee flies to a flower to …
