In the plant world, when two different species mate, their offspring often don't survive. The reason lies in their DNA: incompatible genes often mix in their offspring, triggering a fatal breakdown ...

Scientists show that 'genome shock' is responsible for neutralizing hybrid lethality, when seedlings die after two species of plant hybridize.

IDEAYA Biosciences uses synthetic lethality to target genetic vulnerabilities in cancer cells, focusing on MTAP-deleted tumors. IDE397 demonstrated promising Phase 2 results with high response rates ...

An international research team led by Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) and the Joint FAO/IAEA Center of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture has identified the gene responsible for a ...

Researchers discovered hybrid combinations capable of overcoming hybrid lethality and producing numerous offspring using tobacco.
