Background Urinary tract infections (UTIs) represent a major public health concern, increasingly complicated by rising antibiotic resistance, diminishing treatment efficacy, and increasing prevalence ...

A single bacteriophage can dominate microbial communities yet only evolves when migration changes its ecological context.

A robust and quantitative map links chromatin modification and gene expression of cells during zebrafish embryogenesis.

How do giant mobile elements called ‘Starships’ reshape fungal plant pathogens? Help us computationally model their spread and impact in nature and agriculture!

Summary:Akiyoshi, 2025 presented a hypothesis with implications for the early evolution of eukaryotes and eukaryotic cell division machinery. In this Correspondence, the authors conclude that this hyp...

Spatial structure naturally emerges in microbial communities, shaping growth, interactions, and evolution, and revealing how microscale processes scale up

Romeijn et al. reveal that horizontal transposon transfer is widespread in fungi, contributing up to 70% of transposon content in some taxa. The authors uncover thousands of events across diverse line...

The current standard treatment for HIV-1 infection is antiretroviral therapy, which effectively suppresses viral replication but requires a lifelong d…

Abstract. Plants maintain internal stability even amid fluctuating external conditions. For energy, nutrients, and fixed carbon, this relies on the dynamic

Understanding the genetic basis of lettuce color is important because these traits correlate with metabolites such as anthocyanins, which are known to have strong antioxidant properties. Furthermore,....

Nature Communications - Giant transposons, known as ‘Starships’, mediate horizontal gene transfer between fungal genomes. Here, Sato et al. show that Starships occupy genome regions...

Convergent evolution, where unrelated taxa independently evolve similar nucleotide or amino acid compositions, can introduce compositional bias into biological sequence data. Such biases distort phylo...
