Researchers have mapped how microbes underpin our food systems—and how we can stop their decline. Published in Frontiers in Science, their map of "agri-food system microbiomes" reveals how players at ...

A University of Colorado at Boulder team has developed the first atlas of bacterial diversity across the human body, charting wide variations in microbe populations that live in different regions of ...

Tsukuba, Japan—The team proposed a new approach to reveal ecological niches (positions within ecosystems) and evolutionary relationships in nature through large-scale growth analysis of bacteria in ...

Jessica Green, a former biology professor at the University of Oregon, cofounded Phylagen. Hidden in dust and dirt, minute microbes may hold the microscopic keys to unlocking supply-chain mysteries ...

For the first time, a consortium of researchers organized by the National Institutes of Health, including a University of Colorado Boulder professor, has mapped the normal microbial makeup of healthy ...

Blessing Emerenini, assistant professor in the School of Mathematics and Statistics, presented “The Power of Data and Modelling in Mapping Microbial Worlds” at the University of Lagos. After the ...

When microbiomes are diverse and balanced, they keep our food safe, nutritious, and sustainable, and our planet healthy—but the quality of these networks is declining across the whole system. This can ...
