Few pests eat away at farm profitability as much as soybean cyst nematode (SCN). Causing at least $1.5 billion in yield losses annually, it's soybean's single biggest threat. Unfortunately, soybean's ...

Twenty years ago last month, scientists sequenced the first human genome in the landmark Human Genome Project. Among the many things they discovered was that while any two humans have 99.6 percent of ...

The world’s wildlife are facing a barrage of threats caused by climate change, from the loss of suitable habitat to dwindling food supplies. As a result, endangered species across the US are edging ...

Genetic interactions mediate the emergence of phenotype from genotype, but technologies for combinatorial genetic perturbation in mammalian cells are challenging to scale. Here, we identify background ...

“A central part of our role as genetic counselors is translating complex information into something patients and communities can understand,” said Emily Sandlin, a second-year student in the Genetic ...

This Protocol outlines the steps to isolate aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase/tRNA pairs that incorporate noncanonical amino acids into proteins. RSs are selected from a publicly available 3.2-million-member ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed the first soybean cyst nematode pangenome, an important tool in fighting the most economically damaging pest of soybean.
