Researchers have taken detailed scans of worker ants to examine the hypothesis that the loss of flight is directly connected to the evolution of strength.

A research team involving three institutions has taken a close look at the genomes of fifteen species in the coral genus, Acropora, to determine if they’re suited to a warmer ocean.

Scientists and staff across OIST have worked hard over the last few months to test the OIST community for antibodies against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.

Whilst in lockdown at OIST, Professor Andrew Lobb, in collaboration with a mathematician at Boston College, solved a version of a century-old question: Can square pegs fit inside round holes?

Predicting animal behavior could one day be possible, say researchers, and a new study has made progress in this area by developing a framework based on the motion of a tiny species of worm.

Genetic variants that leave their carrier more susceptible to severe COVID-19 are inherited from Neanderthals, finds a new study published in Nature.

One of OIST’s distinguished marine scientists, Professor Timothy Ravasi, has been invited to work alongside researchers from the world’s pre-eminent center in coral reef research.

A study looking at pancreatic beta cells has found a link between a commonly found protein, a subset of switched-off genes and the development of diabetes.

The neurons of layer 6 – the deepest layer of the cortex – were examined by researchers to uncover how they react to sensory stimulation in different behavioral states.

Memories form a central part of our identity but how they are created and stored is still unclear. One researcher is aiming to change that.
