Understanding the mechanisms of recombination in Atlantic salmon

A new PhD study provides insights into the diversity and evolution of the PRDM9 gene in Atlantic salmon. The findings reveal that variation in this gene underpin different patterns of recombination th…

Targeted spectral selection enables accurate portable MIR spectroscopy with sparse data

The doctoral work of Miriam Aledda shows that targeted selection of key spectral regions and variables allows portable MIR spectroscopy to deliver robust, accurate results using only sparse measuremen…

Natural gut flora gave mice better protection against intestinal disease

When laboratory mice are given a gut flora similar to that of wild mice, their intestinal barrier becomes stronger and the risk of colitis is reduced, especially when combined with dietary fiber. This…

Long term ionizing radiation exposure reduces fertility by damaging spermatocyte meiosis

When living creatures are exposed to low levels of ionizing radiation over long periods, their ability to reproduce can be affected in important ways. The doctoral work of Hengyi Zhu shows that long t…
