Researchers led by Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, together with their collaborators, uncovered the molecular innovation that led to the origin of Type V CRISPR-Cas immune systems.
Researchers led by Prof. GAO Caixia from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology and Prof. QIU Jinlong from the Institute of Microbiology developed a pioneering system that enables rapid and scalable directed evolution of diverse genes directly in plant cells.
A new study has revealed the patterns of trait covariation across global grassland species, highlighting that the trait coordination and trade-off of global grasslands, the largest terrestrial ecosystems globally, and pinpointed the climate variables that drive these patterns.
A research team led by Prof. WU Linping from the Guangzhou Institutes of Biomedicine and Health of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with partners, has developed functional engineered vasculatures using a one-step bioprinting strategy.
Convergent evolution—where distinct species independently evolve similar traits or functions, such as the wings of birds and bats—has long fascinated biologists. Now, a research team led by Prof. ZOU Zhengting from the Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has introduced a deep learning-based method to unravel the complex molecular mechanisms driving this phenomenon.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Freie Universität Berlin showed that dance-following bees combine the dance vector with their cognitive memory of landmarks, and the follower bees form an expectation of the landscape features after learning the information of waggle dances.
