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 ...
A new study finds that bacteria can actively block the transfer of beneficial genes to neighboring cells, using specialized ...
No matter how much they brush their teeth, some people still get more cavities than others, in part because of differences in genetics and the make-up of the microbes in their mouths. A new study has ...

The relationship between the gut microbiome and the human body is complex. While the microbes in the human gastrointestinal tract have major impact on various aspects of health, many factors can ...
Scientists have identified why some gut microbes successfully stay in the gut after faecal transplants, whilst others are much more transient. The King’s College London discovery could help make the ...
Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)—segments of DNA that help bacteria survive the effects of antibiotics—can be present in ...
UTIA animal science faculty receive 5-year NIFA grant to study the process at the genetic, cellular and microbial levels.
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have identified a bacterial genus that promotes root growth and nitrogen uptake in plants. The findings open new possibilities for developing ...
A person can seem healthy and still carry subtle biological signs of trouble long before the first tremor or slowed movement ...
“In recent years there has been a growing recognition of the links between Parkinson’s disease – a brain disorder – and gut ...
