NIMBB Study Maps the Mitochondrial Genome of the Eggplant Fruit and Shoot Borer
In a study published in Insects by MDPI, NIMBB researchers, Mr. Joshua Despabiladeras and Dr. Ma. Anita Bautista sequenced and analyzed the complete mitogenome of Leucinodes orbonalis. The main objective was to create a reference assembly of this pest's mitochondrial genome and use that information to determine where it fits in the evolutionary tree of crambid moths, a group that includes many agricultural pests.

MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar: Who’s that protein? The evolution of protein-protein docking computational methods

While working on those gains in the gym and getting your dose of protein from chicken breasts, have you ever wondered what exactly those “muscle gaining” molecules actually look like? Well, look no further, because with protein-protein docking, you don’t need to keep wondering.

Be our valentines this February 14 and explore the evolution of protein-protein docking computational methods in an MBB 196 Undergraduate Seminar entitled “Who’s that protein? The evolution of protein-protein docking computational methods” to be held at the National Institute of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology (NIMBB) Room 105 on February 14, 2025, at 1:00 PM.
