A research team led by the South China Botanical Garden of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with multiple domestic and international research institutions, has made progress in investigating forest diversity patterns across China.
Researchers from Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported a new species named Begonia chunxiuensis, which was collected in southwestern Guangxi, China.
A new study published in Nature has shed light on the origins, population structures, and kinship systems of the people of Shimao—one of China's most significant late Neolithic settlements. Analyses of ancient DNA from individuals who inhabited the site reveal genetic links to southern settlements, while also providing evidence of male mass burials associated with human sacrifice.
A research team led by Huawei Zhang of Peking University and Jiayang Li of the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology/Yazhouwan National Laboratory has reported a novel genome editing strategy, the "Mortise-Tenon system", which achieves precise insertion and replacement efficiencies from 16.30% to 59.47% in rice. The strategy offers a new tool for plant genome editing and opening new avenues for crop genetic improvement.
A research team led by Profs. LI Ming and XIAO Xiao from the Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has published the most comprehensive genetic study of bipolar disorder (BD) to date across East Asian and European populations.
In a collaborative effort, researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and China Agricultural University have revealed the antibacterial mechanism by which iron-sulfur nanozymes (nFeS) act on gut microbial metabolism to catalyze the production of indole derivatives, thereby synergistically combating intestinal infections in mice and pigs.
