$12 million grant backs global team to create first synthetic plant chromosome World-first project to build synthetic plant chromosome aims to boost crop traits like resilience, backed by $12M UK ARIA funding.

P4S Chief Investigator Prof Ryan Lister and P4S Research Fellow Dr James Lloyd are part of a world-first effort to build an artificial chromosome entirely from scratch in plants.

Can transcriptome size and off-target effects explain the contrasting evolution of mitochondrial vs nuclear RNA editing? Abstract. Mitochondrial RNA editing has evolved independently in numerous eukaryotic lineages, where it generally restores conserved sequences and function

New hypothesis on why mitochondrial and nuclear RNA editing show such contrasting patterns in RNA editing based on their differences in transcriptome size:

#SciSky is utopic thus far.

Hello to all my old friends and starter pack followers. I'm Farley and I'm into the evolution of RNA editing in chloroplasts and mitochondria of plants. It's a cool, very specific conversion of pyrimidines (both ways!). I want to engineer this for other organisms too.
