Despite rapid advances in reading the genetic code of living organisms, scientists still face a major challenge today—knowing ...

Currently, treatment-resistant infections cause at least one million deaths worldwide every year, with this number expected to rise. While some bacteria and fungi carry antimicrobial resistance (AMR) ...

The genetic culprits responsible for the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria have been identified by new research mapping 100 years of bacterial evolution. Experts at the Wellcome Sanger ...

The first-of-its-kind in-depth bacterial evolutionary map could pave the way for the development of precision treatments for certain antibiotic-resistant infections, such as urinary tract infections.

For example, gut bacteria produce short-chain fatty acids ... from microbiome research benefits diverse populations equitably. By mapping out how gut microbes communicate with human genes, the review ...

This fall, 20 Georgia Tech students published a paper—the culmination of work done during a semester-long laboratory course.

Analysing the gene activity of every single bacterial cell in a colony? A new technique of single-cell transcriptomics developed in W rzburg can do this much more efficiently than other methods: It ...

Using a technique called spatial transcriptomics, researchers have analyzed the gene expression in the mouse colon and created a map showing where in the tissue individual genes are expressed. When ...
