Researchers identified several families of "jumping genes," or transposons, in cyanobacteria and Streptomyces that can find and insert themselves at the telomere, with benefits for the transposon and their bacterial host.
Researchers have developed tests to assess low-level or chronic inflammation in dairy cattle that they hope will improve animal health and support New York’s food supply.

A Cornell-led collaboration devised a potentially low-cost method for producing antibodies for therapeutic treatments: bioengineered bacteria with an overlooked enzyme that can help monoclonal antibodies boost their immune defenses.
A new computational method developed by researchers at Cornell sheds light on how going dormant – sometimes for multiple generations – has affected the evolution of the tuberculosis bacterium and other organisms that can temporarily drop out of the gene pool.
The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences welcomed 10 new faculty members this fall, advancing the college’s commitment to pursuing purpose-driven science and improving the lives of people across New York state and around the world.

Celebrate the season and give back with an apple bake-off this weekend, and enjoy symphony concerts and learn about New York’s Mohawk River through an exhibit at Mann Library.
Cornell AES manages farms and greenhouses that support research but are also unique teaching tools for over 40 courses covering topics in plant science, soil science, entomology, food systems, agricultural machinery, and more. This is the fourth story in a series about on-farm teaching; Insect Ecology (ENTOM 4550) is taught by entomologist Jennifer Thaler.
