Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Scientists have discovered bacteria frozen in an ancient underground ice cave that is resistant to 10 modern antibiotics. Ice caves host a variety of microorganisms, which if melted, could add to the ...

Independent clinical validation strengthens ABL’s leadership in the fast‑growing HIV drug‑resistance testing market ABL ...

Trained on 9 trillion DNA base pairs from every domain of life, the Evo 2 model can predict disease-causing mutations, identify genomic features and generate entirely new genetic sequences.

Researchers discovered that gut bacteria could travel to the brain via the vagus nerve in mice, offering clues to the gut-brain axis’ involvement in some neurological disorders. Weiss, Grakoui, and ...

Research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and genetic history.

Scientists have uncovered the oldest known genome of the bacterium responsible for syphilis, revealing a previously unknown lineage that existed thousands of years ago in the Americas.

Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

Waterborne pathogens, particularly Cryptosporidium, pose a growing public-health risk in Australia and globally. Cryptosporidiosis notifications have increased markedly in recent years across multiple ...

California researchers have identified a possible link between toxin in the gut and increase in cancer cases in people under ...

Bacteria and phages that travel in space behave much differently in microgravity than they do in labs on Earth, exciting ...

The gut bacterium Bacteroides fragilis has long presented researchers with a paradox. It has been associated with colorectal cancer, yet it also lives quite happily in most healthy people. A study by ...
