The Latest Breaking News from Genome

Researchers from Indiana University, Bloomington, studied a synthetically designed ‘minimal’ cell, containing only genes essential for survival, and found that it could evolve as fast as a normal cell. This “demonstrates the capacity for organisms to adapt, even with an unnatural genome that would seemingly provide little flexibility,” said Jay…

Scientists create a genetically engineered species of poplar tree containing less lignin, a structural material of wood.

The annulated sea snake, a species of venomous snake found in ocean waters around Australia and Asia, appears to have evolved to see an extended palette of colours after its ancestors lost that ability in response to changing environments, according to a new paper published in Genome Biology and Evolution…

Minimal cells are synthetic cells with streamlined genomes. New study find these sorts of cells are still able to grow and evolve.

A step-down subsidiary of pharma major Dr.Reddy’s Laboratories, it intends to invest $40 million (around ₹330 crore), which will be generating around 200 direct jobs and 60-70 indirect employment opportunities over the next three years.

One recent study conducted by the US NIH BabySeq project, and published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, evaluated the sequences of 127 apparently healthy and 32 sick infants. It found that just over 10% of infants had an unanticipated risk of genetic diseases. When these infants were followed…
