Team develops gene editing strategy for macroalgae Neopyropia
Construction of DNA vectors for promotor verification and gene editing in Neopyropia yezoensis. Credit: IOCAS Neopyropia is an important economic macroalga and is one of the main macroalgae cultivation species in China, Japan, South Korea and other countries. As a critical juncture in the evolution of photosynthetic organisms, red algae to which Neopyropia belongs is…

Life might thrive on the surface of Earth for an extra billion years
This schematic shows the relationship between the different physical and chemical processes that make up the carbonate-silicate cycle. In the upper panel, the specific processes are identified, and in the lower panel, the feedbacks associated are shown; green arrows indicate positive coupling, while yellow arrows indicate negative coupling.
