🍀🧬🔬 My students and colleagues always ask me why I am glued to the lab bench and what do I do? I do my BEST! I enjoy doing the experiments (successful and failed equally). Here is a glimpse of the Friday morning. Thanks to my student, Scottie, for taking this picture.

What happens after evolution “accidentally” doubles an entire genome? 🧬 A Chinese-German team led by Axel Meyer at the University of Konstanz studied snow carps from the Himalayas — young polyploid fish that live at altitudes up to 5,000 meters — to understand how duplicated genomes become diploid again. Their finding is fascinating: re-diploidization does not happen all at once. It begins at chromosome fusion sites and spreads step by step, meaning some genome regions return faster to diploid inheritance while others can retain four chromosome copies for millions of years. Why does this matter? Because whole-genome duplication has been a major engine of biodiversity and evolutionary innovation — especially in fishes and plants. Evolution does not just modify genes. Sometimes, it rewires entire genomes. 📷 📷uni-konstanz.de/en/university/… #Evolution #Genomics #Biodiversity #DNA #GenomeEvolution #Biology #Science

🥬 A red lettuce that turns green… and also increases beneficial compounds? Researchers at the University of Tsukuba used gene editing with CRISPR to inactivate a key gene upstream of anthocyanin production in red lettuce. The result: green leaves, a shifted flavonoid profile, and higher accumulation of quercetin, with no detectable negative effects on plant growth. This is more than “changing color.” It shows something powerful: gene editing can precisely redirect plant metabolic pathways to adjust functional, nutritional, or industrial traits. The future of agriculture is also being written in plant metabolism. 🧬🌱 🔗eurekalert.org/news-releases/… #GeneEditing #CRISPR #PlantBiotech #Agriculture #Biotechnology
