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…

The funding has been awarded by the Medical Research Council.

As yellow crazy ants spread across the globe, researchers are shocked by their strange genetics

Exclusive: strep A genome sequencing by Australian scientists will likely have implications for prevention and vaccine development

Researchers led by Jay T. Lennon at Indiana University in Bloomington, U.S., attempted to understand how a synthetic life-form would adapt or evolve over time, especially in situations where the raw materials required to do so could be limited.

A new study has found higher frequency of homozygous genotypes in South-Asian populations, most likely as a result of caste, endogamy, and consanguineous sexual unions. Such a frequency could lead to higher risk of genetic disorders.

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…

ICAR-CIBA Scientists have decoded genome of Indian white shrimp. It’s the first step to making India self-reliant July 10 will be celebrated as National Fish Farmers Day in Mamallapuram

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.
