Call it the science of small, but a trio of University of Florida chemical engineers have developed a lab-on-a-chip process ...

The microbiome affects almost all daily homeostatic functions in all living things. However, the magnitude and complexity of this relationship in humans is still not fully understood and requires more ...

Researchers analyzed 168,464 samples to uncover how geographic and technical factors shape global gut microbiome variation, highlighting underrepresented regions and technical biases.

DNA transfer between bacteria plays a crucial role in their survival. Yet, a key aspect of this process has remained underexplored: how is the exchange of genetic material so prevalent despite ...

In an intensive Winter Session course at Brown, undergraduates learned lab techniques and performed experiments as they ...

As they say, life finds a way. Microbial life has been discovered existing 13 feet beneath the surface of Earth’s most ...

For each water sample, they assembled a metagenome, all of the genetic sequences from fragments of DNA left behind by bacteria and other organisms. This resulted in the longest metagenome time ...

Microbial cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) testing shows the potential to offer a less invasive and faster alternative to identify microbial infections in the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) (1 Trusted ...

Pediatric ear, nose and throat (ENT) infections are highly prevalent and may require invasive surgical procedures to extract ...
