Transposable elements have proliferated in the bacterium Enterococcus faecium, altering its metabolism and genome structure.

Heterogeneity is ubiquitous in real-world host populations, yet most theories assume homogeneity. Using a metapopulation model, we examine how host heterogeneities, such as uneven movement patterns ...

The rapid emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and zoonotic pathogens underscores the urgent need for innovative, interdisciplinary strategies to ...

We stand at a pivotal moment in biological science where the acquisition of a complete genome sequence, something that a decade ago took millions of dollars and several years to achieve, is becoming ...

Climate change is transforming the Earth’s natural systems at an unprecedented pace, influencing temperature patterns, rainfall distribution, and the ...

Acid rain from fossil fuel pollution may be quietly training soil bacteria to become longer-lived, more transmissible, and more deadly, according to a new study in the journal New Contaminants that ...

New genomic research traces coffee wilt disease’s outbreaks, showing gene swapping among Fusarium fungi and risks for African ...

Wildlife trade, which concerns a quarter of all mammal species, increases the chances of ...
