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

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 ...

They planned to look up the DNA sequences in a database to identify any microbial species. These kinds of samples, however, are easily contaminated—by bacteria in the lab or from other parts of ...

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

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 ...

Using DNA extraction and microscopic imaging, they identified living bacteria in the fishes’ olfactory bulbs and other brain regions. The results showed the olfactory bulb, which is directly ...
