Scientists put together a detailed map of the genes in a plant called milk thistle. This map can help us learn more about the plant and could even help us use it better.

"We are looking at lots of genes together, like a big team, to see what makes every person's body works differently. We do this by studying the 'instruction lists' (genes) your body follows."

"We're finding links between a body chemical called AST and cancer. This helps us predict how serious the cancer might get. It also tells us about the body's energy use and defense system."

"We're making flexible patterns to guide stem cells - just like using a stencil to draw a picture - to become the types of cells we want them to be."

They found a part in a plant (like a cog in a machine) that helps two important plant growth chemicals to talk to each other. This chat guides the plant's top part to curve like a hook.

NATA1 and NATA2 are like the bosses of a tiny plant part in a plant called Arabidopsis. They decide how much of a stuff called polyamine gets a 'coat' called acetylation. This 'coat' helps the plant stay healthy.

We're studying how tiny bugs make their homes in grapevines by looking at how the plant's building instructions change. This helps us see how the same type of grapevine can be different.

"We found a good bug, called Candida oleophila Strain O, to fight off a bad mold that hurts oranges after they're picked. We're also learning how this good bug talks to the orange to help fight off the mold."

We've found a way to use viruses to turn on special "switches" inside plants. This change isn't just for the plant we treat but can also be passed on to its baby plants.

We're using a special spray to make a tree disease called Pine Pitch Canker quiet down and stop causing harm. It's like putting a mute button on a noisy TV. This helps us take care of our forests.

Putting a lot of a special ingredient found in peach plants into soybeans can help them grow better even when there isn't much water. #sciencefun

We're making a tool (NABIT) and a kit (MDK) that lets anyone test DNA to keep track of different living things and protect them. Think of it like a barcode scanner for life! #bioRxiv

'Scientists are looking at why certain tiny flies, called Drosophila melanogaster, are starting to like only their own kind and not others. Important changes in their DNA seem to be the reason.'
