Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw talks about India’s battle with Covid-19 In an interview with DNA, Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, Chairperson and Managing Director, Biocon, talks about India’s battle with Covid-19 and how the country is faring with its vaccination program. She also discusses the need for more investment in the healthcare sector, the development of the biotechnology industry and the importance of innovation in tackling the pandemic. She emphasizes the need for collaboration between industry, government and civil society to effectively tackle the pandemic.
Revolutionizing 3D Genome Analysis: AI Unveils the Optimal Resolution for Hi-C Data Integration – A New AI-Powered Method for Automatically Determining the Best Bin Size – | Research Communities by Springer Nature
This study introduces an AI method for Hi-C data, mapping the 3D structure of DNA. Using tensor decomposition (TD-based FE), it automatically determines the best bin size without manual tuning, outperforming traditional methods. This breakthrough enhances genomic research and medical science.
6,000 years of Adélie penguin ecology in the Ross Sea reconstructed from ancient environmental DNA | Research Communities by Springer Nature
Long-term records of biodiversity provide baselines for interpreting change in threatened environments, such as Antarctica. Our study explores how ancient environmental DNA can provide these baselines, by reconstructing details about past populations and diets of Adélie penguins in the Ross Sea.
The first atlas of circular DNA reveals how DNA circularization appears to shape gene evolution in mammals. | Research Communities by Springer Nature
The first eccDNA atlas reveals a correlation between gene transcript levels and mutational burden from DNA circularization. It explores how genes adapt to reduce mutational load from transcriptional stress, offering fresh insights into mammalian gene evolution and new avenues for eccDNA research.
DNA and 90 million-year-old pollen fossils reveal new insights into evolution of Asian tropics
In a new study published today in Science, researchers from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBG Kew), together with global partners, combine results from two newly discovered prehistoric palm fossils with DNA from global palm collections to gain new insights into the origins of biodiversity in one of the most species-rich places on Earth—the Asian tropical rainforests.
Chimpanzee genes have changed over time to suit local conditions: New study
Chimpanzees are humans' closest living relatives, sharing more than 98% of our DNA. They are endangered, with fewer than 250,000 left and an annual decline of between 1.5% and 6%. This is due to habitat destruction, hunting and infectious diseases, among other threats.
