Can CUT&Tag be used in eukaryotic model organisms, like fungi? YES! In this preprint, researchers optimized CUT&Tag for various model and plant pathogenic species, generating high-quality profiles for histone PTMs and the histone acetyltransferase Gcn5. ?? When compared to ChIP-seq, the authors noted CUT&Tag had greatly improved signal/-to-noise, reproducibility, and sensitivity. https://lnkd.in/eNMkhtRW

Genetic potential can vary across different environments. Giving your cattle the best chance to succeed where they are can make all the difference in maximizing that potential. https://lnkd.in/gPbw4JpU

Floor space is a critical factor in swine production, often serving as a fixed cost that significantly influences overall production economics. Optimizing the use of this space can help reduce costs, by decreasing the square footage allocated per pig. Dr. Ashley Hartman, Research Coordinator with DNA Genetics and Pillen Family Farms, explores research on varying space allowances for nursery pigs to enhance efficiency and productivity. https://ow.ly/ngfs50U9rAB

Well managed SUDS or storm water ponds can be brilliant for wildlife and form a crucial part of urban biodiversity networks

Do bacteria age ? Bacteria differ from us in many ways, including in their modes of growth and reproduction. Unlike humans and other animals, single-celled organisms, such as bacteria and some fungi, can undergo a process called binary fission to reproduce, meaning that they duplicate their DNA and then split in two. Replication via binary fission can be very fast—the fastest-growing bacterium we know of can divide in less than 10 minutes. https://lnkd.in/gH_Gr6Dw

We are thrilled to share our comprehensive #review on #drought research priorities, trends and geographic patterns, now available as preprint. Short #summary: Our analysis of over 130,000 peer-reviewed articles on drought research reveals critical shifts towards interdisciplinary approaches. Research priorities are identified in methodological advancements of drought forecasting and in plant genetics. The systemic nature of drought impacts is demonstrated. Challenges identified are the integration of plant physiological response in forecasting, fostering machine learning and early warning systems, and more systemic drought resilience frameworks. Great team with Gohar Ghazaryan, Michael Hagenlocher, Claas Nendel, Andrea Toreti and Ehsan Eyshi Rezaei The preprint is available here: https://lnkd.in/dvy7Pvuv

For the second time, our research is picked up by the New York Times. The first time happened in 2003 following the publication of our first article on the #killifish. It marked the beginning of an amazing journey that after twenty years saw this diminutive fish develop from biological curiosity to a model organism for studying #aging.? This is our first article on the #greenland #shark. I wish us all that it can be the beginning of an equally exciting journey aimed at studying the genetic basis of #longevity. https://lnkd.in/dKiDcmq5

#AgriVoltaicsCon in June 2024. In shaded environments, various studies on crop physiology are available without the need for additional shading installations. Agrivoltaics also makes it an energy-efficient approach in crop science. I love this concept.
