Evolution of the root epidermal patterning
Prof. Hyung-Taeg Cho
Professor Hyung-Taeg Cho’s research team from the School of Biological Sciences at SNU has discovered a novel reverse Type III radial pattern of root hair distribution and, along with genomic analyses, proposed an evolutionary context for root hair patterns in eudicots.

Partitioning the drivers of Antarctic glaciers mass balance (2003-2020) using satellite observations and a regional climate model
Prof. Ki-Weon Seo
Professor Ki-Weon Seo’s research team from the Department of Earth Science Education at SNU, the Korea Polar Research Institute (KOPRI), and Utrecht University has uncovered the causes of ice mass variations in Antarctica from 2003 to 2020 using satellite observations and climate models.

A long term journey for understanding the evolutionarily conserved mechanisms of telomere and genome stability
Prof. Junho Lee
Professor Junho Lee and his research team at Department of Biolgical sciences have established the first genome map of Alternative Lengthening of Telomeres (ALT). The ALT phenomenon represents an alternative mechanism for maintaining the chromosome end structure known as telomeres, which has been evolutionarily conserved from yeast to humans and exhibits great diversity and complexity.

Novel protective mechanisms in the organelle stress responses
Prof. Yong-Keun Jung
Professor Jung’s research team from the Department of Biological Sciences at Seoul National University has demonstrated novel quality control mechanisms of endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus under stress.

Exocyst stimulates multiple steps of exocytic SNARE complex assembly and vesicle fusion
Prof. Tae-Young Yoon
Exocytosis of secretory vesicles is required for cellular growth, division, and cell-cell communication. Lee et al., reveal that the exocyst tethering complex has stimulatory roles in exocytic SNARE complex assembly and SNARE-mediated vesicle fusion.

Metabolic-methane mitigation by combination of probiotic Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 and biochar in rumen fluid in vitro fermentation of dairy cow
Prof. Younghoon Kim
SNU CALS team led by Prof Younghoon Kim demonstrated that combining the probiotic Escherichia coli strain Nissle 1917 with biochar can reduce methane production when applied to rumen fluid and provided insights into the underlying mechanism.

Development of Technology to Predict the Deformation of DNA Origami Structures Induced by DNA-Binding Molecules
Prof. Do-Nyun Kim
Recently, research using DNA origami technology to create nanostructures for advanced bio-convergence fields has been actively conducted. Especially, the technology to utilize environmental changes within the body to modify the shape of structures to perform necessary functions is gaining attention.
