🌸 Do you enjoy cherry blossoms? We are looking for a future group member to explore the genetic mechanisms behind coloration in cherry flowers and fruits. The project focuses on tissue-specific gene expression and its role in ornamental plants and crops. 🔗 Details: https://www.izmb.uni-bonn.de/en/pbb/teaching#cherry #PlantScience #Genetics #Botany #AcademicJobs #Research @PuckerLab@genomic.social @samnm@mstdn.science

J. Craig Venter, who won the race to sequence the human genome, dies at 79. "Venter, who served in the U.S. Navy during Vietnam, said the experience taught him how fragile life could be and made him curious about how the trillions of cells in the human body conspire to create and maintain life." @AssociatedPress@flipboard.com reports: https://flip.it/XbQ7Qt #Science #Genetics #DNA #Medicine

To understand left- and right-handedness, Professor Eric Horstick looks at zebrafish, which have transparent bodies, develop into adults in a few days, and their genetics and brain structure are highly similar to humans'. Here's his story for @conversationus@newsie.social. https://flip.it/weK2Vd #Science #Genetics #Handedness

Apparently, women have _always_ liked a bit of rough when it comes to mating... #Genetics #HumanGenetics #Genealogy #Science https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/feb/26/male-neanderthals-human-females-mating-research-dna-genetics?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb

Scientists at Monash University say they have found a way to permanently "switch off" genes that help cancer cells thrive. This could help development of a new style of treatment that might be more effective and less difficult for patients. “We have potentially identified a new way to exploit cancer’s weaknesses,” said Dr. Omer Gilan, who worked on the research. Here's more from SciTech Daily. https://flip.it/fXvz-L #Science #Medicine #Cancer #CancerTreatment #Genetics #Epigenetics
