Have you ever worked with samples containing DNA from prokaryotes and eukaryotes (e.g. host and microbe)? If so, I recently wrote a software program that can separate out bacterial/archaeal sequences from eukaryotic ones:

Is that right?? If so, every month, she makes twice what a typically grad student might receive in a year’s worth of stipend.

It is not just the mother’s mitochondria anymore. For decades, we have believed that mitochondrial traits are passed only through the maternal line because mitochondria come from the egg as they occupy too much space to be carried by spermatozoids. This new study shows that

Idiocracy (2006) opens by throwing you straight into its hilariously dumbed-down future.

Breaking Bad has an alternate ending on DVD where Bryan Cranston wakes up as Hal from Malcolm in the Middle — revealing the entire series was just a nightmare.

Plasmodium falciparum is the protozoan parasite behind the most severe form of malaria, transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. If you want to see where P. falciparum sits in the tree of life, you can now do so easily with our microbial omics web app: https://t.co/1M6zEatvxP in

Our new preprint! #Bartonellaceae bacteria, known as mammalian #pathogens, also colonizes #planthoppers. The planthopper #symbionts typically resemble related ant symbionts in their nutritional functions, but show a much greater breadth of #genome sizes and functions. 1/2

A genome is not a one-dimensional object. It is dynamic and quickly-changing, not only in TIME but also in SPACE. A new paper, published in Nature, reports the 3D structure of the E. coli genome. The whole thing was mapped with a resolution of 10 base pairs; enough to clearly

In a single E. coli, about 25 percent of all proteins use metals (like zinc, iron, copper, magnesium, etc) to do their chemistries. And yet, incredibly, fewer than ONE FREE METAL ION is present per cell on average. There are, in other words, basically no loose metal ions
