Junggar basin sediments reveal interplay between Solar System chaos and Earth’s carbon cycle
Chinese Academy of Sciences HeadquartersPeer-Reviewed Publication
Researchers from the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Columbia University, along with their collaborators, have analyzed sediments from the terrestrial Sangonghe Formation (Late Early Jurassic) in China's Junggar Basin, revealing information both on Solar System chaos and the global carbon cycle.

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus encodes additional small proteins with specific subcellular localizations and virulence function
Science China PressPeer-Reviewed Publication
A research paper just published in Science China Life Sciences used cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) from the Tobamovirus genus as a model and discovered that small open reading frames (sORFs) on its negative strand can encode proteins. This study unveils a novel protein-coding strategy in tobamoviruses and supports the notion that the negative strand of positive-sense single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) viruses can encode functional proteins.
