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.
The Times of India Ludhiana: As genetics and biotechnology become increasingly important in school curricula, Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) has launched an initiative to help teachers keep pace with rapid scientific advances The School of Agricultural Biotechnology recently organised a…
This microfluidic device squeezes mouse skin cells as they pass through, loosening their tightly packed DNA so CRISPR tools can reach and switch on genes to make cell reprogramming more efficient. Our cells hold about two meters of DNA, folded…
Discovery may help develop treatments for Andes virus and other hantaviruses A Dangerous Virus Family "The best way to prove a rare bird exists is to take a picture of it," said Pablo Guardado-Calvo, Ph.D., deputy director of the Virology…
A laboratory study detected host DNA on the cuticles of adult parasitoid wasps in 49% of samples, offering a non-destructive way to identify some host associations without rearing the wasps. Cuticular DNA identifies hosts of adult parasitoid wasps Subject of Research:…
RNA sequencing and expression assays in the ‘J795’ willow identified 19 HMG genes, including the male-flower-highest HMG18, as candidates for research on sex differentiation. RNA sequencing of male, female and bisexual flowers from the unusual willow Salix à jiangsunensis âJ795â identified thousands of…
A range-wide genome study identifies multiple candidate loci under selection in coastal Atlantic song sparrows, supporting a polygenic basis for adaptation despite gene flow.
An in vitro study found that antibiotic-induced lactobacilli retained activity against 17 clinical carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales isolates, but the findings do not establish safety or clinical efficacy.
Glucose tolerance under the low-fat diet was unaffected. The results therefore show that the phenotype was already detectable without diet-induced obesity but became more pronounced with prolonged high-fat feeding. RNA sequencing showed that reduced FoxO1 produced broader transcriptional changes in female…
The scale of the project addresses a central challenge in human genetics. The human genome contains approximately 3 billion DNA letters, creating more than 9 billion possible single-letter changes. Testing every possible change in a laboratory would be practically impossible. The score…
A multidisciplinary study supports three species in the Central European Veronica hederifolia complex and identifies chromosome state, pedicel-to-calyx ratios and hair traits as more reliable identifiers than leaves affected by light. V. triloba was diploid, whereas V. sublobata was tetraploid. The researchers…
