Advanced genomics approach offers new hope for marine conservation
Despite the enormous potential of genetic and genomic technologies to protect marine life, they are currently underutilized.

For example, DNA sequencing can now identify illegally caught seafood products to protect threatened species. DNA from seawater samples — known as environmental DNA — is emerging as a more viable alternative or complement to traditional SCUBA-based surveys of marine biodiversity, and can also be used to monitor disease outbreaks and the spread of invasive species.
In addition, existing genomic technologies can help the fisheries sector master fish stocks and monitor how fish adapt to stressors in their environment.
Genomic technologies can greatly improve conservation and restoration efforts, but only if the gap between genomics experts and managers of marine biodiversity can be bridged. (Source: cnBeta)
Astronomers discover a ‘marshmallow’ world about 580 light-years from Earth
Using the WIYN 3.5-meter telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory in Arizona, astronomers have observed an unusual Jupiter-like planet orbiting a cool red dwarf star.
Image source: Visual China
Located about 580 light-years from Earth in the constellation Auriga, the planet, identified as TOI-3757 b, is the least dense planet ever detected around a red dwarf star, with an estimated average density similar to that of a marshmallow.
Red dwarfs are the smallest and faintest members of the main sequence stars, which convert hydrogen to helium at a steady rate in their cores. Red dwarf stars can be very active and burst into powerful flares. This could strip away the atmospheres of orbiting planets, making the star system a seemingly unsuitable place for such a yarny planet to form. (Source: cnBeta)
