Eastern coastal Chinese diet associated with reduced obesity and improved cardiometabolic health

Using dietary data from 8,931 participants in the WELL-China cohort, this study identifies a new diet rooted in traditional Chinese food elements associated with better adherence, favourable gut microbial profiles, lower rates of central obesity and reduced incidence of major cardiovascular events, and confirms these findings in an independent Achieving Better Omics validation cohort (n = 1,851).

Pangenomics for sorghum improvement

A multilayered pangenomic resource for Sorghum bicolor, integrating an improved reference genome, a representative 33-accession pangenome and a global panel of nearly 2,000 lines, establishes a powerful platform for trait discovery and genetic improvement.

Future scenarios for British biodiversity under climate and land-use change

Climate and land-use change are transforming biodiversity, yet national futures remain uncertain. The study projects growing extinction debts, but suggests that sustainable low-emission pathways can limit the worst impacts on British biodiversity.

A domestication history of dynamic adaptation and genomic deterioration in Sorghum

This study uses ancient DNA sequencing to track Sorghum genome evolution over the past 1,800 years at a single archaeological site. The data unexpectedly reveal no evidence for domestication bottleneck, and instead reveal a steady drop in genetic diversity over time.

The species and the specious

For some, species are simply the things you save; but for taxonomists, the concept is much more complex. Emma Marris asks whether Linnaeus's legacy is cut out for conservation.

Whole-genome sequencing reveals untapped genetic potential in Africa’s indigenous cereal crop sorghum

Sorghum is a drought-resistant food and feed cereal crop used by over half a billion of the world’s poorest people. Here the authors present high-coverage resequencing genome data of 44 sorghum lines of varying geographic and taxonomic origin, which include a number of sorghum wild relatives.

Light programmable micro/nanomotors with optically tunable in-phase electric polarization

Developing active nanomaterials that can instantly respond to external stimuli with designed mechanical motions for nanorobotics applications remains a challenge. Here, the authors propose a Si-NWs light programmable nanomotors design based on optically tunable in-phase electric polarization.

A sorghum pan-genome generated from 16 genomes representing cultivated and wild sorghum shows extensive variation, with 64% of the gene families exhibiting presence/absence variations, some of which confer phenotypic outcomes and contribute to domestication and improvement.

Mechanistic neutral models show that sampling biases drive the apparent explosion of early tetrapod diversity

A spatially explicit mechanistic model, based on neutral theory, is used to show that changes in apparent diversity in the fossil record of the late Carboniferous and early Permian are explained by variation in sampling intensity through time.

Allelic variation at a single gene increases food value in a drought-tolerant staple cereal

Sorghum is a drought-adapted cereal, but the grains have lower digestibility than other cereal crops. This work shows that a low-frequency allele type in the starch metabolic gene pullulanase is associated with increased digestibility, which may help improve sorghum yield and therefore food security.

Genomic screening of 16 UK native bat species through conservationist networks uncovers coronaviruses with zoonotic potential

Certain bats species have previously been identified as ancestral sources of coronaviruses that infect humans but there is limited data on the genomic diversity or zoonotic potential of viruses infecting bats in the UK. Here, the authors use deep sequencing and in vitro assays to characterise coronaviruses recovered from 48 bat faecal samples.
