A new study by scholars at Dept. of Biology, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has found how plants use their circadian clock to regulate their growth cycles, based on their exposure to light.

Mammalian genomes are diploid, comprising of two haploid genomes from each paternal or maternal origin. SUSTech scholars have taken a new approach to the study of the diploid genomic architecture by applying multi-omic data to characterize the 3D diploid genome structures.

Applications of Next Generating Sequencing (NGS) technology in transcriptome profiling have greatly improved our understanding of transcriptional regulation at a genome-wide scale in the last decade. The research community has produced tens of thousands of RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) libraries. However, accessing such a huge amount of RNA-seq data poses a big challenge for groups that lack dedicated bioinformatic personnel or expensive computational resources.

The development of new chemical transformations based on asymmetric catalysis has been the focus of significant research across the world. Starting from simple raw materials, recent progress by scholars at Dept. of Chemistry, Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) has made new developments in the concise construction of silicon-centered and sulfur-centered chiral compounds.

The deep carbon cycle is better understood now, thanks for cutting-edge research led by scholars at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech). It provides a better insight into how carbon is stored in the deep interior of the Earth, helping other researchers in their understanding of a wide range of other research fields.

The first total synthesis of a bioactive natural product could lead to improved anti-inflammatory drugs in the future, thanks to research led by Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech).
