Darwin can help your doctor: Evolution and ecology inspire clinical research in infections and antimicrobial resistance
Taking an evolutionary view can inspire new ideas in clinical microbiology. For example, evolutionary studies can reveal why some antimicrobial
Anti-evolvability drugs could slow antibiotic resistance in bacteria
The failure of existing antibiotics to combat infections is a major health threat worldwide. While the traditional strategy for tackling
Cancer comparison across species highlights new drug targets
Cancer genes in mucosal melanoma, a rare and poorly understood subtype of melanoma, have been compared in humans, dogs and
How transcription factors explore the genome
Transcription factors (TFs) are proteins that regulate the transcription of genes, which is the first step in making a protein.
Fossilized slime of 100-million-year-old hagfish shakes up vertebrate family tree
Paleontologists at the University of Chicago have discovered the first detailed fossil of a hagfish, the slimy, eel-like carrion feeders
A genome under influence: The faulty yardstick in genomics studies and how to cope with it
References form the basis of our comprehension of the world: they enable us to measure the height of our children
Improved ape genome assemblies provide new insights into human evolution: Better understanding of genetic influences on primate and human brain differences was also gained through comparative organoid models
New, higher-quality assemblies of great ape genomes have now been generated without the guidance of the human reference genome. The
Early life trauma in men associated with reduced levels of sperm microRNAs: In mice, the same changes to sperm miRNAs occur and are transmitted to the next generation
Exposure to early life trauma can lead to poor physical and mental health in some individuals, which can be passed
Exploration of diverse bacteria signals big advance for gene function prediction: New workflow accelerates experiment-based gene function assignments
In the air, beneath the ocean’s surface, and on land, microbes are the minute but mighty forces regulating much of
