Development of a highly efficient prime editing platform for cucurbits enables breeding of multi-disease-resistant cucumber.

This optimized PE system substantially enhances PE efficiency in Cucurbit crops, providing an effective solution to common challenges such as low editing efficiency and limited heritability in these species.

Establishment of an Efficient CRISPR-Cas9-Mediated Gene Disruption System in the Lichen-Forming Fungus Umbilicaria muhlenbergii

Compared with conventional homologous recombination, the CRISPR-Cas9 system substantially improved gene disruption efficiency, thereby overcoming a major limitation in the genetic manipulation of lichen-forming fungi.

Hormone priming and metabolic engineering of phytohormone crosstalk in rice under combined biotic and abiotic stresses: a multi-omics perspective for climate-resilient crop development

This synthesis provides a framework for translating mechanistic hormonal insights into field-applicable cultivars to ensure global food security and proposes a systems-level roadmap for developing climate-resilient rice cultivars capable of maintaining yield stability across a volatile combinatorial stress landscape.

Constitutional Midtraining: Content Presence Drives Alignment Gains

Post-training alignment is often shallow, eroding under fine-tuning. It remains untested as to whether constitutional midtraining interventions can produce durable alignment when cleanly isolated from post-training. We build a 394M-token constitutional corpus from Anthropic's Constitution and apply constitutional midtr...

Evaluating high-fidelity CRISPR-Cas nucleases in nucleosomal contexts using a quantitative framework

It is demonstrated that local nucleosome sequence and structure profoundly influence Cas nuclease accessibility and specificity, with HIFIv1 emerging as the top-performing nuclease for nucleosomal targets, while evoSpCas9 excelled in exposed contexts.

Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar

Zero-knowledge proofs can verify computing results without rerunning workloads or exposing sensitive data. Magnetar helps bring them into the mainstream with support for standard programming languages, major speed gains, and quantum-resistant security. The post Proof-based general-purpose computing with Magnetar appeared first on Microsoft Research.
