| What did the very first complex vertebrate brain look like? To find out, scientists turned to an unlikely time traveler: the lamprey, a jawless, eel-like fish whose body plan has barely changed in roughly 360 million years.In a cover study published in Science, researchers led by Bing Su at the Kunming Institute of Zoology (Chinese Academy of Sciences), together with colleagues at BGI-Research ... more |

| A team led by Prof. Ping Zheng at the Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Prof. Songmin Ying at Zhejiang University School of Medicine has constructed the first high-resolution map of early replication fragile sites (ERFSs) in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). Published in Stem Cell Reportson June 18, 2026, the study addresses why copy number variations (CNVs) and s... more |

| The genus Mustura (Cypriniformes: Nemacheilidae) is distributed from the Yarlung Tsangpo River to the Mekong River basin, occurring mainly in northeastern India, Myanmar, northern Thailand, and Laos. During ichthyological surveys conducted in the Chindwin–Irrawaddy River basin, the research team collected a series of nemacheilid loach specimens. Detailed morphological comparisons combined with... more |

| A groundbreaking study led by Prof. Douglas W. Yu at the Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has ushered in a new era for biodiversity monitoring in complex mountain ecosystems. Published in Ecology Letters, the research demonstrates how environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding can deliver high-quality, large-scale species distribution data efficiently—addressing a critica... more |
