Genomes2Fields aims to improve the nation’s corn crop by uncovering how genomes—the blueprints for plants—are turned into yield, stress resistance, and all manner of different traits

An international study was launched when researchers found that another inhibitor for advanced cancers, called OTS167, had a negative outcome in a clinical trial

The new synthesis route enables the formation of carbonaceous catalysts with controlled chemical structures like organic-based catalysts

Insights such as gene transfer ‘islands’ provide window into dynamics of microbial ecosystems

This scientific advance could have biotechnological applications in the future as the conclusion applies to 80 percent of plants

Achieving gains in agricultural production depends on adequate levels of soil micronutrients like copper, low levels of which can impact yield by reducing fertility and, in extreme cases, lead to total crop failure

Recent results could inform ongoing efforts to detect dark matter directly, especially if researchers have a clear idea of what sorts of properties they should be seekin

Presented by 2014 Nobel Laureate, Stefan W. Hell

Technique could speed the production of antibodies to treat a wide range of diseases and facilitate the development of new vaccines
