Results tuned to biology
4Biology is a focused search engine built for biology students, researchers, educators, and lab managers. We combine multiple indexes, curated sources, and AI tools to surface publications, protocols, datasets, suppliers, and learning resources that matter to life scientists. Use the site to save time, find specialized resources, and get context-specific search results not optimized for general web traffic. Part of the 4SEARCH network of topic specific search engines.

New AI Breakthrough Brings Extinct Dodo Bird Closer to Revival
18+ hour, 16+ min ago (420+ words) A U.S. biotechnology company has identified about 2,300 potential genetic targets with the help of AI that could help bring back the extinct dodo, a flightless bird that disappeared more than 300 years ago. The discovery marks another step in efforts to recreate…...
Plants use molecular ‘measuring tape’ to tell friend from foe
20+ hour, 19+ min ago (638+ words) Light microscopy image of crystallised CHIP13 protein. (Kira Gysel via SWNS) Plants use a molecular “measuring tape” to tell friend from foe, reveals new research. It enables them to distinguish harmful fungi from beneficial partners, say Danish scientists. They explained that…...

Apple Gene MhLHCA2 Helps Plants Survive Iron-Starved Soils, Study Finds
1+ day, 6+ hour ago (379+ words) Researchers at Gansu Agricultural University report that the photosystem I gene MhLHCA2 helps apple tissue withstand iron deficiency by sustaining photosynthetic performance, antioxidant defenses and iron acquisition processes. Iron is one of those nutrients that plants cannot live without, yet in…...
Scientists Reverse Aging in Cells and Mice With a Single Gene
1+ day, 12+ hour ago (673+ words) Harvard-led researchers developed a transcriptomic aging clock to screen rejuvenation genes and found that over-expressing the RNA splicing factor SRSF1 reverses multiple hallmarks of aging in human cells and extends median lifespan in mice by 14 percent....
