Rainbow reefs revealed: The secret 112-million-year saga of glowing fish

New research led by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History sheds light on the ancient origins of biofluorescence in fishes and the range of brilliant colors involved in this biological phenomenon. Detailed in two complementary studies recently published in Nature Communications and PLOS One, the findings suggest that biofluorescence dates back at least […]

How AI is supercharging plant immunity to fight deadly bacteria

Scientists at the University of California, Davis, used artificial intelligence to help plants recognize a wider range of bacterial threats — which may lead to new ways to protect crops like tomatoes and potatoes from devastating diseases. The study was published in Nature Plants. Plants, like animals, have immune systems. Part of their defense toolkit […]

Koalas on the brink: Precision DNA test offers a lifeline to Australia’s icons

A University of Queensland-led project has developed a tool to standardize genetic testing of koala populations, providing a significant boost to conservation and recovery efforts. Dr Lyndal Hulse from UQ’s School of the Environment said the standardized koala genetic marker panel provides a consistent method for researchers nationwide to capture and share koala genetic variation, […]

AI-directed voxel extraction and volume EM identify intrusions as sites of mitochondrial contact

Membrane contact sites (MCSs) establish organelle interactomes in cells to enable communication and exchange of materials. Volume EM (vEM) is ideally suited for MCS analyses, but semantic segmentation of large vEM datasets remains challenging. Recent adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) for segmentation has greatly enhanced our analysis capabilities. However, we show that organelle boundaries, which […]
