  • Climate change leads to winter mortality nearly doubled in birds

    Anthropogenic climate change is now influencing the population dynamics of many species. Its impact is often mediated by effects on the local environmental conditions that determine key biological processes such as fecundity and mortality. For animals living in seasonal environments in temperate regions, individuals usually suffer most mortality over winter, and winter mortality may therefore c...

  • The Luo group has accomplished genome-wide precise mapping of 6mA in various species

    The rediscovery of N6-deoxyadenosine (6mA) in eukaryotic genomes has sparked interest in its potential as a new epigenetic marker. In recent years, 6mA has been identified in various eukaryotes, including plants, vertebrates, and mammals. However, limitations in current methods, particularly the inability to accurately identify the location of 6mA, have hindered further research into its mechan...
