The function and evolution of a genetic switch controlling sexually dimorphic eye differentiation in honeybees

Bee researchers at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) headed by Professor Dr. Martin Beye have identified a new gene in honeybees, which is responsible for the dimorphic eye differentiation between males and females of the species. The researchers have now presented this gene and the evolutionary genetic conclusions they have drawn from it in the journal Nature Communications.

Automated data exchange format creates transparency in enzymatic experiments

In catalytic sciences, as in all scientific fields, we face a rapidly increasing volume and complexity of research data, which is a challenge for analysis and reuse. A team led by Prof. Jürgen Pleiss from the Institute of Biochemistry and Technical Biochemistry at the University of Stuttgart has introduced EnzymeML as a data exchange format in a recent journal article published in Nature Methods. EnzymeML serves as a format to comprehensively report the results of an enzymatic experiment and stores the data in a structured way to make it traceable and reusable.
