A recent study shows that bacteria living inside colorectal tumors form distinct ecosystems that are closely linked to how ...

Advancing microbiology and infectious disease research depends on the ability of scientists to gather an understanding of critical, often overlooked, genomic information. For example, repetitive ...

Using metagenomic sequencing across a realistic temperature gradient, researchers show that carcass decay triggers a surge in carbon-degradation ...

The algal blooms increasingly seen in Canadian lakes have been linked to both nutrient pollution from agricultural runoff and climate change. However, a new Concordia-led study using DNA sequencing of ...

Massive endeavor including Hopkins researchers and students aims to understand the planet's most biodiverse habitats ...

Findings indicate that soil stored under refrigerated or air-dried conditions can still retain the needed information for understanding microbial community composition and structure for many years.

This image illustrates the typical steps in next-generation sequencing (excluding single-molecule sequencing methods). The process begins with isolating genomic DNA (a) and breaking it into short ...

16S sequencing is used to detect and examine bacteria according to the 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene present in prokaryotic organisms. Amplifying and sequencing this gene can help researchers contrast ...

The authors identify artificial intelligence as a turning point for food safety research. High-throughput sequencing, ...

In a recent study published in Frontiers in Aging, researchers analyzed data from multiple studies and 13 microbiome datasets, including 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) sequencing data to match ...
