In Soil Microbiology Research, Bridging the Gap Between Laboratory and Field Studies Soil microbiology is the branch of microbiology that focuses on the study of microorganisms (such as bacteria, fungi, archaea, viruses, and protozoa) in the soil…
Images of Root Chemicals provide New insights into Plant Growth The investigation of root chemicals and their role in plant growth can provide valuable insights into how plants develop, interact with their surroundings, and respond…
Gene Knockdown with Synthetic sRNAs in Industrial and Medicinal Bacteria Medicinal bacteria, also known as therapeutic bacteria or probiotics, are living microorganisms that provide health benefits when consumed or applied to the body. These bacteria…
A Recent Study Demonstrates that Rafting on Chitin Particles Allowed Carbon-Capturing Phytoplankton to Colonize the Ocean An unseen floating forest of bacteria that resemble plants covers the entire ocean. The microscopic organisms utilize sunlight to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere…
Scientists have discovered RNA-guided Mechanisms that Control Cell Fate The processes by which RNA molecules play a critical role in determining the developmental trajectory and functional characteristics of cells are referred to as RNA-guided…
In the Lab, Researchers Successfully induce Primate Oocytes In the past, researchers have achieved successful maturation of primate oocytes in the laboratory, including non-human primates like monkeys. These achievements have provided valuable insights…
Sequencing of the Genomes of 233 Primate Species The genome sequencing of 233 primate species would provide a wealth of information for understanding primates’ genetic diversity and evolutionary history. Scientists can learn about…
Ancient Viruses Identified in the DNA of Coral Symbionts A multinational team of marine biologists uncovered ancient RNA virus remains trapped in the DNA of symbiotic species living inside reef-building corals. The RNA fragments…
An Instrument for Benchmarking that can Roughly Resemble Single-Cell and Spatial Genomics Data A benchmarking tool for medical and biological researchers who use cutting-edge technologies to study diseases and potential treatments has been created by UCLA researchers using…
Overfishing has been linked to Rapid Codfish Evolution Overfishing can have a significant impact on fish population evolution, including codfish. When fishing for specific traits, such as larger individuals or specific genetic characteristics,…
How Bacteria Develop Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria reproduce quickly, and during replication, errors in their genetic material can occur, resulting in mutations. These mutations can occasionally provide bacteria with antibiotic resistance.…
A New Study Reveals that Human Ancestors Preferred Mosaic Landscapes and Great Ecological Diversity An international research team’s latest study, which was just published in the journal Science, reveals that early human species were able to adapt to a…
