Collaboration between the UCO's Agronomy and Genetics departments was key to sequencing the genome of this pathogen, which is responsible for losses of up to €50 million per year. Cercospora leaf spot ...

Vietnamese scientists, for the first time, have successfully built a large-scale human genome dataset together with a ...

Every living organism has its own genetic "blueprint": the source code for how it grows, functions and reproduces. This blueprint is known as a genome. When scientists sequence a genome, they identify ...

The sweet potato feeds millions worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa, where its natural resilience to climate extremes makes it crucial for food security. But this humble root vegetable has ...

Geneticists looking inside the nuclear genome for mutations that contribute to disease have long relied on a principal known as constraint modeling, which allows researchers to assess the degree of ...

In a groundbreaking scientific achievement, researchers have successfully decoded the DNA of the giant moa, a bird that roamed New Zealand before its extinction hundreds of years ago. This discovery, ...

Overview of the T2T and gap-free genome of Thompson Seedless. The Circos plot depicts gene features at 500-kb intervals across the 19 chromosomes of Thompson Seedless. From the outer to the inner ring ...

At the very beginning of autumn 2019, an international team, including the French, succeeded in deciphering the pea genome. For the average person, this means very little. After all, how complicated ...
