Spatial joint profiling of DNA methylome and transcriptome in tissues Summary This Nature paper presents spatial-DMT, a spatial multi-omics method that simultaneously profiles the DNA methylome and transcriptome from the…
Single-cell transcriptomic and genomic changes in the ageing human brain Summary This study applies droplet-based single-nucleus RNA-sequencing (snRNA-seq), single-cell whole-genome sequencing (scWGS) and MERFISH spatial transcriptomics to human prefrontal cortex…
Two ants, two species, one mother Summary Iberian harvester ants have been observed producing offspring that belong to two distinct species from a single queen, and engineers have uncovered mechanisms…
DNA2 enables growth by restricting recombination-restarted replication Summary This Nature paper shows that the conserved nuclease/helicase DNA2 is essential for cell proliferation because it prevents excessive homologous-recombination restarted replication (HoRReR)…
Cas9 senses CRISPR RNA abundance to regulate CRISPR spacer acquisition Summary This Nature article reports that Cas9 performs a previously unrecognised role beyond its well-known RNA-guided nuclease activity: it senses…
Texas Sued Over Its Lab-Grown Meat Ban Summary Two California cultivated-meat companies, UPSIDE Foods (cultivated chicken) and Wildtype (cultivated salmon), have filed a lawsuit challenging Texas’s recently passed two-year ban…
US Man Still Alive Six Months After Pig Kidney Transplant Summary A 67-year-old US man, Tim Andrews, is still alive more than six months after receiving a kidney from a…
How to make a ‘laser’ of neutrinos Summary Physicists have proposed a novel concept for a device that would emit intense, coherent bursts of neutrinos — effectively a neutrino ‘laser’…
Texas Sued Over Its Lab-Grown Meat Ban Summary Two cultivated-meat companies, UPSIDE Foods (cultivated chicken) and Wildtype (cultivated salmon), have filed a lawsuit challenging Texas’s two-year ban on the sale…
US man survives six months after genetically modified pig kidney transplant Summary A 67-year-old US patient, Tim Andrews, remains alive and dialysis-free more than six months after receiving a kidney…
