Researchers Reveal a Novel Epigenetic Mechanism in the Establishment of Seed Vigour
Recently, researchers led by Dr. JIANG Danhua from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that the incorporation of a histone variant H3.3 into the chromatin is key to the formation of germination and post-embryonic developmental capacity in seed.

Ribosomes Search AUG Codons in a Bidirectional Scanning Process
A recent study delivered by Prof. QIAN Wenfeng’s group at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, revealed the small ribosomal subunits use small-amplitude (a few to a dozen bases) 5′–3′ and 3′–5′ oscillations with a net 5′–3′ movement to search the AUG codon, and therefore, competition exists ...
