Most of the Earth's microbial biomass is hidden in the subsurface. According to estimates, microorganisms can be found at depth of up to five kilometers below the continental surface. Here they also ...

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 ...

The researchers used Merino sheep as an animal model, systematically collecting samples of their hindgut and ruminal microbiota, plasma metabolites, and neurocognitive behavioral phenotype data. Based ...

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 ...

Risk of graft-vs.-host disease, an often-debilitating and sometimes-deadly bone marrow transplant complication, can be reduced by matching key immune genes in a transplant recipient and their donor.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Although complex interactions between hosts and microbial associates are increasingly well documented, we still know little about how and why ...

The Arctic region is experiencing climate change at a much faster rate than the rest of the world. Melting ice sheets, runoff from thawing permafrost and other factors are rapidly changing the ...

The study systematically revealed that gut microbial genetic variations at the single-nucleotide resolution influence host cognitive exploratory behavior by regulating metabolites. The study further ...

Scientists in Seoul have uncovered 15 gut bacterial species linked to coronary artery disease, showing that microbes can ...

Scientists have discovered the DNA of ancient microbes inside of the remains of woolly and steppe mammoths. This microbial DNA, which may be one million years old or more, may be among the oldest DNA ...

The scalp hosts a diverse microbial community, and its unique environment is shaped by sebum, moisture, and acidic pH. These microbes, including bacteria and fungi, can influence scalp conditions ...
