Dr. Melissa Perreault, neuroscientist and professor at the University of Guelph, is breaking new ground by integrating Indigenous perspectives into neuroscience. In a Genomic Press Interview, she shares her personal and professional journey, exploring how her research on neuropsychiatric biomarkers, psychedelic medicine, and neuroethics can drive personalized treatments and create a more inclusive scientific future.

For the first time in the world, the molecular structure of the motor component that powers the gliding apparatus of Mycoplasma mobile, one of the few mycoplasma bacteria that can move, has been revealed by an Osaka Metropolitan University-led research team using cryo-electron microscopy.

This study found that bean inoculation with Rhizobium alone or in combination with P application, can increase grain yield of the two common bean cultivars. This indicates that recommending these agronomic inputs for use by resource-poor farmers in Ethiopia will be very helpful to increase the local common bean yield. Compared with the Ibbado, Hawassa Dume has a higher yield. Therefore, Hawassa Dume could be recommended for adoption by farmers in combination with the Rhizobium inoculant strain HB-429 and P at 20 kg·ha⁻¹ P in Ethiopia.

The virtual teaching and research section for database courses proposes an open community-based operating model, founded on the core concepts of "openness, dedication, competition, and orderliness." It establishes a hierarchical organizational structure and working group operation mechanism.

A recent review has unveiled an innovative method for monitoring fossil fuel CO₂ emissions using satellite observations of co-emitted NO₂. This approach promises to provide more precise and efficient emission tracking compared to traditional ground-based methods, overcoming significant challenges in distinguishing human-made emissions from natural sources. By capitalizing on the short atmospheric lifespan and high detectability of NO₂, this method enhances the ability to monitor emissions at a variety of scales, from individual power plants to entire nations. This new technique plays a vital role in bolstering global climate change mitigation efforts and ensuring countries meet their commitments under the Paris Agreement.

A groundbreaking primer design tool from the Zhang Liye Laboratory automates the search across entire genomes for pathogen detection, significantly enhancing the speed and accuracy of infectious disease diagnosis
