Researchers conducted a high-throughput growth assay and machine learning to address the genetic and environmental interplay on bacterial growth. The findings indicated that the environmental ...

Microorganisms produce a wide variety of natural products that can be used as active ingredients to treat diseases such as infections or cancer. The blueprints for these molecules can be found in the ...

New Haven, Conn. — The 2025 Gruber Genetics Prize is being awarded to geneticist and molecular biologist Rotem Sorek, Ph.D., of the Weizmann Institute of Science, for his discoveries in the immune ...

An international team of scientists reports that it has unraveled the genetic makeup of 47 strains of known and potential Lyme disease-causing bacteria. The say the work paves the way toward more ...

Lower levels of a rare gut bacterium may increase the risk of MS by reducing the activity of the immune-regulating gene FcRL3 ...

Scientists explored the evolutionary success of leaf beetles, the most diverse herbivores on Earth. They showed that symbioses with bacteria have evolved repeatedly and independently in different ...
