Autophagy-associated genes appear to be important for immune evasion, but losing multiple of these genes could also make cancers resistant to T cell activity.
The Washington Post reports that the White House chief of staff has asked the US Food and Drug Administration to justify the stricter standards it is seeking for a coronavirus vaccine.
Molecular breeding methods such as genomic selection and genome-wide association studies often require high-density genotypic data from many samples, but the cost and complexity of genotyping at this scale may be prohibitive.
Selective breeding represents an efficient approach to increase production of aquaculture species by means of improving traits, such as rapid growth, product quality, and disease resistance.
