Who remember these manuals which have been useful for so long in the daily work of the lab? We call them the ‘MANIATIS’ the name of one of the co-authors. Although why not the name of one of the other co-authors?

For those who are found of genome engineering. Exciting program 😀

[IRRI 🌾 @irri]

Scientists from the IRRI developed a robust, first ever speed breeding protocol for rice that will achieve 4 to 5 crops of rice in one year - almost double of what has been possible in breeding programs until now.

Biochemist Kary Mullis discovered the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) while driving a route well known to him at night. His thoughts wandered, the pieces of a puzzle he had been thinking about fell into place and the rest is history.

China authorises 26 seed-makers to produce and distribute GM corn and soybean seeds in the latest development of a national drive to commercialise GMO technologies and other next-generation breeding techniques.

Barley was a hugely important grain in ancient times. The Sumerians had a god of barley but not a god of wheat.

And the Romans fed their gladiators #barley to give them strength, calling them hordearii, or barley-men.

New from Lippman Lab and recent PhD grad Dani Ciren on bioRxiv: “A striking paradox is that genes with conserved protein sequence, function and expression pattern over deep time often exhibit extremely divergent cis-regulatory sequences.” More inside…

@EarlhamInst @Rothamsted @mcmullan0 @RowenaCHill Very good and hopefully it will be successfully as there is not so much progress so far.

In tests, INTA researchers showed that the non-browning gene edited potato can spend up to 48 hours exposed to air without darkening, a state that conventional potatoes reach in just a few minutes.

The Biomek, introduced in 1986, transformed the speed at which samples for patient diagnosis as well as drug analysis could be tested. It reduced the overall time for results, increasing number of samples that could be analysed each day to many thousands. London science museum.
