Researchers achieve highest-quality moss genome assembly to date

A research team has achieved a gapless assembly of Syntrichia caninervis's genome, totaling 323.44 Mbp with an N50 value of 24.41 Mbp and a single-base accuracy exceeding 99.999%, making it the highest-quality moss genome reported to date. This work is published in the Plant Biotechnology Journal.

Researchers uncover molecular mechanisms of cold tolerance in desert moss

A study led by Prof. Zhang Daoyuan from the Xinjiang Institute of Ecology and Geography (XIEG) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has revealed crucial molecular insights into the cold tolerance of Syntrichia caninervis, a desert moss that could play a pivotal role in Mars colonization and terraforming efforts.

Zwei besondere #Moos-Schânheiten an einer Alm am #Geigelstein. Das Norvegische Drehzahnmoos (#Syntrichia norvegica) ist eine Gebirgsart und gut an seinen braunen Glashaaren erkennbar. An einem Kuhstall fruchtete das Silbermoos (#Bryum argenteum), ein sensationelles NaturgemÀlde. Die Art ist hÀufig in Pflasterritzen und auf Wegen und bildet derzeit ihre leuchtend bunten Kapseln aus, die wie kleine Birnen aussehen. 😍 #Bryology #Bryologie #mosstodon
