Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal (IISER),  researchers have completed the first-ever genome sequencing of the Jamun tree (Syzygium cumini), an evergreen tree popular in India for its medicinal properties, fruits, and ornamental value. To understand the genomic and

For tens of thousands of years, evolution shaped tomatoes through natural mutations. Then, humans came along. For centuries, we've bred and cherry-picked tomatoes with our preferred traits. Today, CRISPR genome editing allows us to make new crop mutations that improve traits even further. However, individual mutations, whether natural or engineered, don't work alone. Each operates in a sea of thousands of so-called "background" mutations. These changes have been sowed by evol...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have employed generative machine learning models to investigate the various ways in which mismatches can occur between atoms in adjacent crystals of piezoelectric materials—materials that, when subjected to mechanical stress, produce a modest electrical voltage. This discovery reveals how disorder develops in these types of materials.
