Scientists have sequenced the complete genome of a roundworm used extensively in biological research, opening a new pathway for synthetic biologists to build and test genetic changes in a multicellular animal species.
At the University-Wide GET SET Teaching Conference, held in April, doctoral candidates Manasi Anand and Ellie Homant, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, were recognized with Ye Awards for excellence in graduate teaching.
Researchers found that human-caused climate change and air pollution have directly reduced precipitation in the Southwestern U.S., making drought inevitable.
