With Zhonglong’s lab, we systematically summarized the scenarios of microRNAs gain and loss, especially the cases of miRNA-gain, and raised the new perspectives in research aspects from evolutionary angle. See the press release in Chinese here.
Our lab is moved to the Institute of Botany, the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IBCAS). We thank all the support from BAAFS and look forward to new development in IBCAS.
Shen et al., discovered a potentially new C-N balance system in Asteraceae. This new system enables the asteraceous plant could gain N from a low N condition, and partially explain why the Asteraceae is so ecologically sucessful. See the press release in Chinese here.
Shen et al., report the new insights on the convergent evolution of fructan biosynthesis in angiosperms through a comprehensively comparative genomics with a de novo genome assembly of chicory. See the press release in Chinese here.
Beijing Daily shot a short story on Xiaozeng Yang to introduce Yang Lab’s research. See the press release here.
Collaborated with Dr. Lei Li’s lab in Peking University, Guo et al., report a new mechanism of plant microRNA diversification in angiosperms. See the press release in Chinese here.
Guo et al., construct the LettuceGDB as a community database for lettuce genetics and omics. See the press release here.
Guo et al., update PmiREN to PmiREN2.0 with a series of new tools and functions. See the press release in Chinese here.
Yang et al., uncover the microRNA transcriptome of west corn rootworm by sRNA-seq and report their potentials in insect control. See the press release here.
