Soil hosts an extraordinarily diverse microbial community whose genetic information underpins biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem services. Extraction of DNA from soil is challenged by strong ...

Metagenomics provides access to the genetic diversity of uncultured bacteria through analysis of DNA extracted from whole microbial communities. Long-read sequencing is advancing metagenomic discovery ...

The last two decades have seen a revolution in scientists' ability to reconstruct the past. This has been made possible through technological advances in the way DNA is extracted from ancient bones ...

Many of our frontline antibiotics originated from microbes, and as antibiotic resistance spreads and drug pipelines run dry, the soil beneath our feet has a vast hidden reservoir of untapped ...

BELLEVUE, Neb. (WOWT) - College students are helping researchers understand Nebraska’s soil health by sequencing DNA from mushrooms collected across the state. Mia Arnold, a junior at Bellevue ...
