Because Mung beans (Vigna radiata) are nutritious, inexpensive, have nitrogen-fixing capacity, and are relatively easy to grow with a short growing cycle, they are an important crop for food security in many parts of Asia, Africa, and other regions. Now, researchers have made a significant contribution to a landmark international study that has uncovered tens of thousands of previously hidden structural variations influencing yield, nutritional quality, insect resistance, and other relevant mung bean traits.

In a new study published in Science titled, “ Virome-wide ubiquitin ligase discovery reveals diverse mechanisms of immune evasion ,”   researchers from Harvard Medical School (HMS) have uncovered how viruses hijack cells’ garbage-disposal systems to evade immune attack.  

An international team of scientists report that they have successfully mapped the cells and genes that regulate bone formation and loss and discovered the critical role that blood vessel cells play in bone health. By combining genomic sequencing with data from half a million individuals, the research team identified hundreds of previously unknown genes that govern bone health and revealed cells surrounding blood vessels as one of the drivers of bone repair.
