Coral eDNA has been accurately detected in seawater samples, and this has huge implications for coral reef conservation, says researchers

Scientists have uncovered a chemical compound that holds potential as a therapeutical for various autoimmune diseases, and they’ve used it to treat mice.

A team of scientists travelled to Taiaro Atoll in French Polynesia to seek answers about the existence of a unique community of fishes.

“Think in your own way, not just by searching through the database or reading books...” Professor Ichiro Maruyama concludes his time at OIST with words of advice for early career scientists.

Researchers produce the first robust genome of pearl oysters, which they hope can be used to find strains that are resilient to increasingly common diseases or that produce more beautiful pearls.

Mutations that maintain fitness are vital for diversity and, for the first time, scientists have managed to experimentally show how extensive networks of these mutations develop.

By combining molecular biology with neuroscience, researchers have found that a well-known gene works to withstand psychiatric stress.

By using techniques from both genetics and oceanography, researchers have found that the mangrove populations in the Ryukyu Islands are relatively isolated from one another, which has implications for conservation.

Researchers have showcased the central role of a specific protein for stopping cell death and regulating the cell cycle.

Researchers have combined data from around the world with predictions from machine learning to create a high-resolution map of ant diversity, revealing areas that should be the focus of exploration and research.

Squid have always been difficult to farm but now researchers have developed the first squid aquaculture system that has the potential to be commercialized.
