A newly identified class of RNA molecules has been discovered in bacteria living inside the human body. These circular ...

Human bodies are teeming with trillions of microbial cells that comprise the microbiome, many of them bacteria. Although they may be small, some of these bacteria maintain health, but others promote ...

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI), a DOE Office of Science User Facility located at Berkeley Laboratory, have published a study in Science Advances that ...

Gut bacteria rapidly adapt to processed food additives, revealing how modern diets can reshape microbial evolution worldwide.

Researchers have now developed a new single-cell genome technique to understand how bacteria interact and exchange genetic material, including antibiotic resistance genes at the individual cell level.

A new technique will make it much easier for researchers to discover the traits or activities encoded by genes of unknown function in microbes, a key step toward understanding the roles and impact of ...

Following on from the recent official launch of BGI’s new CycloneSEQ™ is the first independently reviewed benchmarking data. The CycloneSEQ™ platform delivers long-reads using novel nanopore ...
