Genetic interaction networks, such as the one pictured here, allowed researchers to predict functions for previously ...

A computational survey of 381 oral bacterial genomes found 48,234 G-quadruplex motifs, with a 2.5 to 3-fold enrichment in ...

Researchers analyzed approximately 12.8 million gut microbial genetic variants in 10,781 individuals across six cohorts, ...

The genome structure—how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism—is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms. A team at the University of Tokyo has developed a system to ...

Bacteria are among the most diverse lifeforms on Earth, so it’s no surprise that their genomes have yielded a treasure trove of fascinating discoveries. The study of bacterial genomes has led to the ...

For decades, the ability to precisely rewrite bacterial genomes has been largely confined to a single workhorse organism: Escherichia coli. That limitation has slowed efforts to study pathogens, ...

Tiny viruses found in gut DNA carry a virus protein shell much like the boxes bacteria use for chemistry, and the design ...

The rice disease bacterial leaf blight (for short: BB) is causing significant yield losses in Asia and Africa. It is ...

A newly identified Arctic Ocean bacterium may have an unusual way of making the building blocks it needs to grow. Using ...
