Researchers say collaboration is key to determining the ultimate genotypes of plants and livestock
Use of synthetic biology. An alternative approach to constructing ultimate genotypes is to first clone ultimate haplotypes into yeast or mammalian artificial chromosomes (MACs) before inserting these haplotypes into the target genome using Cas9 guide RNA. .

Citizen science collaboration provides precise data on exoplanet WASP-77 A b
Artist’s concept view of the WASP-77 A b system. Credit: NASA Exoplanet Catalog When a planet sways in front of its star, dimming the starlight we see, these events, called transits, provide a wealth of information about exoplanets orbiting stars other than the Sun. But without volunteers’ help, it’s hard to predict when these special events will occur. Fortunately, the…
