Genetics experts argue that patients should be told about dangerous variants in their DNA that show up incidentally during sequencing.
Venom-based drugs for pain; microbes in the deep ocean; altruistic, suicidal bacteria; a call for open access; clinical sequencing; the newest genomes
Researchers show that a bacterium’s self-sacrifice can benefit its community, even when the members are not strongly related.
What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes
Next-generation sequencing diagnostics are already being used, and patients are ready.
Researchers find remarkably active bacteria in the Mariana Trench, where they live under pressure 1,000 times greater than at the surface.
Rock samples from deep within the Earth’s oceanic crust contain chemosynthetic microbial life.
Team member and opponents exchange microbes by slamming into each others’ shoulders during the game.
Researchers analyzing samples from Antarctic subglacial lake confirm they have found unknown bacteria, and claim the microbes come from the lake rather than contaminants.
