Scientists continue to learn more and more about bacteria that exists naturally inside our gut. Researchers at Virginia Tech ...

Polyphosphate (polyP) exists in all life forms; however, its biological functions in metazoans are understudied. Here, we explored Drosophila as the first genetic model to explore polyP biology in ...

Showerheads and toothbrushes are teeming with an extremely diverse collection of viruses — most of which have never been seen ...

Imagine a world where we could predict the behavior of life just by analyzing a sequence of letters. This is not science ...

Bacteriophages, the most abundant life form on Earth, infect bacterial cells and influence the structure of the microbial ...

Researchers from the Skoltech Laboratory for Metagenome Analysis, which is led by Assistant Professor Artem Isaev, and their colleagues from the United Kingdom have studied the BREX methyltransferase ...

Researchers have identified an ancient RNA-guided system that can target DNA, potentially expanding the genome-editing toolbox.

The Human Virome Program will analyse samples from thousands of volunteers in an effort to understand how viruses affect ...

This article discusses the mechanisms of bacterial transduction and how scientists can utilize it to manipulate bacterial ...

The prosecution’s most important piece of evidence is a DNA sample taken from a knife sheath left at the crime scene. Investigators then used investigative genetic genealogy, or IGG, a forensic ...
