Scientists Unravel Rose Genetics: How Eastern and Western Species Created Modern Varieties
A recent study uncovers the genetic origins of modern roses, showing how Eastern and Western species combined to create the roses we know today. Led by Professor Zhangjun Fei at the Boyce Thompson Institute, researchers mapped the genome of the modern rose variety ‘Samantha®’ and sequenced 233 other rose varieties. The study sheds light on bre...

Ancient Viral Genomes in Glaciers Reveal Pathogens’ Climate Adaptation Over 41,000 Years
Researchers from The Ohio State University have uncovered how ancient viruses preserved in glacier ice have adapted to Earth's shifting climate over the past 41,000 years. By analysing viral genomes from the Guliya Glacier on the Tibetan Plateau, the study reveals significant variations in viral communities between cold and warm climatic periods. T...

Vaccine Efficacy Against New Covid Variant Under Examination: Scientist
Vaccines that have been directed towards the spike protein of the virus may find difficulty in mounting adequate immunity against the mutated version because of the structural changes that have been reported in the viral genome, according to WHO.

The Hunt For Coronavirus Variants: How The New One Was Found And What We Know So Far
Since early in the COVID pandemic, the Network for Genomics Surveillance in South Africa has been monitoring changes in SARS-CoV-2. This was a valuable tool to understand better how the virus spread.

What Does Big Data Have to Do With Wildlife Conservation?
The last fifteen years have witnessed a major change in how we can read genomes, and information from genomes of individuals and species can help better plan their conservation.

Study Identifies Risk For Some Childhood Cancer Patients Developing Secondary Leukaemia
As per study, children with neuroblastoma - a cancer of immature nerve cells - treatment with platinum chemotherapy caused changes to the genome that could then cause leukaemia in some children later on.

Coronavirus Will "Continue To Change", Says Indian-American Physician
Indian-American physician Vivek Murthy, US President Joe Biden's pick for US Surgeon General, said that the deadly COVID-19 is going to "continue to change" and the country has to be ready for it, calling for better genomic surveillance and more investment in contact tracing to deal with the crisis.
