Scientists studying thousands of rats discovered that gut bacteria are shaped by both personal genetics and the genetics of ...

In an opinion piece published in Microbiology Australia, a James Cook University team led by Dr. Yaoqin Hong recently ...

Your "roommate's" genes could be influencing the bacteria living in your gut, and vice versa, according to a study of rats ...

A study of over four thousand rats shows gut microbiomes are shaped by both individual genes and the genes of social partners through shared microbes.

UNL researchers are linking cattle genetics and rumen microbes to find ways to cut energy lost as methane and boost feed ...

Sourdough starter, a fermented mix of flour and water, is a staple for bakers. It's also a rich experimental testing ground ...

The researchers used Merino sheep as an animal model, systematically collecting samples of their hindgut and ruminal microbiota, plasma metabolites, and neurocognitive behavioral phenotype data. Based ...

Technological advancements in computation and genetics have enabled researchers to sequence the genomes of vast numbers of organisms. With metagenomics techniques, researchers are able to sequence all ...

Risk of graft-vs.-host disease, an often-debilitating and sometimes-deadly bone marrow transplant complication, can be reduced by matching key immune genes in a transplant recipient and their donor.

Researchers analyzed archival samples of bacteria and archaea populations taken from the Beaufort Sea, bordering northwest Canada and Alaska. The samples were collected between 2004 and 2012, a period ...

The analysis of DNA sequences sheds light on microbial biology, but it is difficult to assess the function of genes that have little or no similarity to characterized genes. Here, scientists discuss ...
