In a groundbreaking study using Merino sheep, researchers uncovered that tiny genetic variations within gut microbes can influence brain-related behavior.

Technological advancements in computation and genetics have enabled researchers to sequence the genomes of vast numbers of organisms. With metagenomics techniques, researchers are able to sequence all ...

Microbial genetics encompasses the study of heredity and variation in microscopic organisms, providing fundamental insights into gene structure, function and regulation. This field underpins our ...

Using a new time-resolved Mendelian randomization approach in over 360,000 UK Biobank participants, Karlsson et al. revealed ...

Embedded in the teeth of long-dead soldiers, scientists found fragments of microbial DNA from Salmonella enterica, which is ...

Scientists have discovered the DNA of ancient microbes inside of the remains of woolly and steppe mammoths. This microbial DNA, which may be one million years old or more, may be among the oldest DNA ...

In a nondescript building on the Colorado State University campus in Fort Collins, lies the largest collection of plant and microbial genetic resources in the world. The highly secure building houses ...

The scalp hosts a diverse microbial community, and its unique environment is shaped by sebum, moisture, and acidic pH. These microbes, including bacteria and fungi, can influence scalp conditions ...

Based on metagenomic sequencing data from fecal and ruminal samples, the authors reconstructed 5,253 species-level metagenomic-assembled genomes (MAGs), including 3,548 previously unreported novel ...
