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 ...

We know the genes, but not their functions—to resolve this long-standing bottleneck in microbial research, a joint research team has proposed a cutting-edge research strategy that leverages artificial ...

A recent study shows that bacteria living inside colorectal tumors form distinct ecosystems that are closely linked to how the disease progresses and patient outcomes. These "tissue-resident" microbes ...

As a result of climate change, a multitude of abiotic and biotic stresses are emerging, and their combination, known as ...

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers represent a complex interplay of genetic mutations, epigenetic alterations, and environmental factors. The initiation and progression of these cancers are influenced by ...

Microorganisms live in biofilms - the equivalent of microbial "cities"- everywhere on Earth. These city-like structures protect and house microbial communities and play essential roles in enabling ...
