Analyzing how gene interaction networks are perturbed in individuals can help identify different types of colorectal cancers, paving the way towards personalized care.

Microbial communities in wastewater treatment plants provide insights into the development and mechanisms of antimicrobial resistance.

New study reveals how various regions of the human cortex connect to the hippocampus along its longer anterior-posterior axis, shedding light on the way this structure is functionally organized.

A new pooled screening method in yeast allows scientists to probe how protein levels are regulated by mutating thousands of genes at once.

A network of open channels allows cells and molecular cargo to travel from the center to the periphery of lab-grown colonies of Pseudomonas aeruginosa, helping to eradicate competing species.

As long suspected, poxviruses capture host genes through a reverse-transcription process now shown to be mediated by retrotransposons.

Single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations illuminate the structure and dynamics of PSD-95, a protein involved in neural plasticity.

A newly discovered protein helps define a subset of heterochromatin regions that can silence harmful mobile genetic elements in the genome of fruit flies.

A newly discovered pathway suggests histone proteins H3 and H4 are imported into the nucleus as individual units rather than joined together as heterodimers as was previously thought.

A new species of multicellular bacteria broadens our understanding of prokaryotic multicellularity and provides insight into how multicellular organisms arise.
