Disrupting a single molybdenum cofactor gene allowed us to connect metabolic regulation of complex carbohydrates with cell organization, enabling genetic tuning of bacterial structural color for biomaterial applications.

LIN code offers a reliable framework for classifying gonococcal population structure, enabling straightforward exploration of isolate relationships, from broad superlineage divisions to minute single allele differences.

The stability of ribonucleoprotein complexes of SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid proteins differs among variants of concern and the viral evolution of nucleocapsid protein can be understood in the framework of fuzzy complexes.

The generation of malaria parasites expressing only one of the multiple variants of their most important virulence factor enables the study of different aspects of this virulence factor.

Increased fucosylated IgG and reduced bisecting GlcNAc during HTNV convalescence may promote rapid recovery from hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome.

PLSCR1 is an IFN-λ-stimulated gene that enhances IFN-λR1 expression at both transcriptional and protein level, highlighting the potential for targeting PLSCR1 pathways in anti-influenza therapy.

Transposon sequencing analyses reveal that among genomically diverse clinical Mycobacterium intracellulare strains and the type strain, 131 genes were comprehensively identified as universal essential genes suggesting promising drug targets.

The T-shaped fold of an abundant surface protein ties streptococci to collagens, an interaction that enhances biofilm such as often found in invasive infections.
