Hyderabad: Researchers who earlier identified a petroleum-eating bacterium in Nacharam have now decoded its entire genome, ...

Actress Robyn Lively is navigating the unpredictable waters of holiday planning, wondering if she will spend this Christmas ...

Bioinformatics and microbial taxonomy experts introduce the challenges of defining bacterial species in an era of rapidly ...

"Adapt or perish, now as ever, is nature's inexorable imperative," wrote H. G. Wells. This principle—that survival requires ...

Hyperthermophilic archaea are true survival experts. They thrive in boiling hot springs and deep-sea vents—environments lethal to nearly all other forms of life. Researchers at the German Archaea ...

It was 2012 when Love Dalén, a paleogeneticist at Stockholm University, first laid eyes upon a special specimen on a lab table in eastern Siberia. "Our Russian collaborators said, 'Come here into this ...

Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) is a type of molecule and a key building block of the ribosome, the cell's protein-making machinery. rRNA accounts for much of the RNA in a cell, and it's crucial for life. It's ...

We investigated the role of the nucleolar protein Treacle in organizing and regulating the nucleolus in human cells. Our results support Treacle’s ability to form liquid-like phase condensates through ...

16S rRNA gene sequencing is pivotal for identifying bacterial species in microbiome studies, especially using the V3-V4 hypervariable regions. A fixed 98.5% similarity threshold is often applied for ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...

Researchers at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa discovered that the virus FloV-SA2 encodes a ribosomal protein, eL40, essential for the production of ribosomes, which translate genetic information ...
