The fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe has emerged as a powerful system to dissect the fundamental principles of gene regulation in eukaryotes. Its simple genome, well-conserved cell-cycle ...
The ability to control gene expression across a wide range is crucial for many fields, including bioengineering, disease detection, and environmental monitoring. Research led by Lingchong You, Ph.D., ...
Microorganisms are increasingly being engineered to manufacture valuable compounds ranging from medicines and food ...
In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems. Now an interdisciplinary ...
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 ...
Epigenetic regulation by gut microbiota refers to the ways in which microbial communities in the intestine modulate the chemical marks on host DNA and histones, thereby shaping gene expression without ...
